About the Practice

Mind Cafe NP in Psychiatry & Acute Care, PLLC is a mental health practice founded on clinical excellence, discretion, and a profound respect for the diverse lived experiences of every individual we serve.

While our practice is deeply rooted in providing HIV-affirming, trauma-informed psychiatric care for communities of color and immigrant populations, we welcome anyone seeking an integrated, evidence-based approach to mental wellness. We specialize in the intersection of physical health and mental distress—understanding how chronic stressors, grief, and long-term depression influence cognitive function and metabolic health.

At Mind Cafe, we provide a private environment where personal histories are honored and care is delivered with cultural humility. Our goal is to close the gaps in traditional healthcare, ensuring that every patient receives a comprehensive, integrated path toward a better quality of life.

Our Core Values

At Mind Cafe, our values are the heartbeat of our clinical practice. They guide how we listen, how we diagnose, and how we partner with you in your health journey.

• Cultural Humility & Inclusion We specialize in care that honors the diverse heritage and lived experiences of our patients, with a dedicated focus on the unique needs of Black, Asian, LGBTQIA+ individuals and immigrant communities. However, our doors are open to all. We believe that by understanding the specific social realities of marginalized groups, we become more empathetic and effective providers for every individual who walks through our doors.

• Clinical Integrity & Discretion We provide a high-level, private environment for all patients via a secure online, dedicated HIPAA-compliant telehealth space. Whether you are seeking HIV-affirming care or support for complex psychiatric symptoms, your privacy and trust are our highest priorities. Our practice is built on evidence-based protocols that respect the sensitive nature of your health data and personal history.

• The Whole-Person Perspective Mental health does not exist in a vacuum. We value the "Whole-Person" approach, acknowledging the intricate link between psychiatric well-being and physical health. We proactively address how stress and depression impact your cardiovascular, metabolic, and cognitive health to ensure that no aspect of your wellness is overlooked.

• Trauma-Informed Advocacy We recognize that many individuals have experienced gaps or dismissive treatment in traditional healthcare settings. We value an atmosphere of safety and transparency, ensuring that your voice is central to your treatment plan and that your past experiences are met with validation, not judgment.
