Psychiatric Urgent Care in Houston
When mental health symptoms become urgent—but don’t require emergency room care—MindShift provides fast, reliable psychiatric support in Houston. We specialize in same-day evaluations and treatment for individuals facing acute anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other pressing concerns. Our psychiatrist-led team delivers expert care designed to stabilize symptoms quickly and connect you with ongoing support.
Unlike traditional therapy with long wait times—or emergency services limited to life-threatening situations—MindShift fills the critical space in between. If you’re facing a sudden episode or a flare-up of chronic symptoms, we offer responsive, walk-in psychiatric care Sunday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Our Approach to Urgent Psychiatric Care
Same-day access:
We understand the importance of addressing urgent mental health needs promptly. Walk in or call ahead for quick evaluations.
No appointment necessary:
No referrals or insurance pre-approvals are needed. We’re here when you need us.
Psychiatrist-led care:
Our clinical team comprises board-certified psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners skilled in acute symptom management and medication prescribing.
Individualized treatment:
We provide disorder-specific care plans tailored to your unique needs, including evidence-based approaches to anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
What to Expect From Your Visit
When you arrive, a licensed provider will conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand your symptoms, medical history, and current challenges. This evaluation helps determine if outpatient care at MindShift is appropriate or if an immediate referral to the emergency room is necessary.
For patients who are not actively suicidal or psychotic, we begin treatment the same day—this may include prescribing medication, recommending therapy, or coordinating with your existing providers. Our goal is to provide immediate relief and help you access the necessary resources for long-term mental health support.
Conditions We Treat
Anxiety
Including panic attacks, generalized anxiety disorder, and acute stress reactions.
Depression
From sudden depressive episodes to worsening chronic depression.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Trauma-related symptoms that impact daily functioning.
