How Mental Health Urgent Care Can Help You:
Kreative Therapy Urgent Mental Health Care model allows people to access assistance for issues which cannot wait for a primary care appointment, but have the potential to escalate into an emergency.
This model of Mental Health Service provides the following benefits to patients:
- Shorter Waiting Times
- Quick & Easy Non-threatening Access
- Walk Personally or Virtually
- A Quiet and Comfortable Setting
- Referrals to other Resources in the Community
By accessing Mental Health services in this way, clients are given a high quality of individualized care without the wait times in a Hospital Emergency Room.
Kreative Therapy Mental Health Urgent Care Clinic is designed to help people avoid involuntary hospitalization, psychiatric-related visits to the ER, and legal involvement by providing immediate psychiatric and therapeutic services on a walk in or scheduled basis.
We provide timely Mental Health Evaluations, Short Term Counseling, Psychopharmacological Services, and Referrals for Longer Term Care when necessary. For those with primary care providers and those transitioning to a longer-term provider, we work with the other Mental Health Professional in order to create a continuity of care to ensure that your longer term Mental Health treatment is seamless.
We recognize that when you are in a crisis, you may feel isolated, debilitated, and hopeless, often because you have nowhere to go for help before it escalates. You may desperately be seeking help from friends, family, and medical offices; however, friends, family, and frontline workers in medical communities struggle to find solutions for problems they are not equipped to handle. The only option then, outside of office hours, is either to go to an emergency room or wait it out.
These options are insufficient, rarely meet your needs, and are inappropriate when you are in the middle of a crisis. Having a mental illness and being in a crisis does not necessarily provide a basis for hospitalization or inpatient treatment. With early intervention, a higher level of care can be avoided, and people are able to remain in the community without disruption to their daily life or the stress of transitioning between their homes and the hospital.
*If you are experiencing a medical emergency, psychosis, are currently intoxicated, or have intense thoughts of harming yourself or someone else (and have the means to carry out your plan), these constitute emergencies, and you should call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

It’s hard to predict when a mental health crisis may arise, and people are often afraid to go to the hospital or may simply be unsure where to go. The emergency room has strict standards for being admitted and is often unable to provide the type of care most people need. If you are new to the mental health system, the average time to get an appointment with a psychiatrist may be one to three months, and that’s if you can find someone who is accepting new patients. If you are lucky enough to have a current provider, it is rare that they are able to accommodate you in their schedule the same day or get you in quickly if you miss your scheduled appointment.
This situation can rob you of your peace of mind and create unnecessary anxiety. A mental health crisis can quickly become disabling, create a feeling of hopelessness, and overwhelming.
We recognize the importance of intervening in the early stages in order to prevent an occasion of going to the emergency room or a treatment center. At Kreative Therapy Mental Health Urgent Care, we recognize and value the strength it takes for you to seek help. Our clinic is here to help restore your peace of mind by providing you with options. Your crisis won’t wait for regular office hours and receiving help shouldn’t have to wait either. You want a qualified mental health professional who will listen, care, and understand you in this moment and put your needs before paperwork. This is the Cornerstone of Our Clinic.
