Pacific Neuropsychiatric Specialists Rebrands as Mentava Mental Health to Enhance Care Visibility

Mentava Mental Health: A New Era of Care in Southern California

In a significant move aimed at improving clarity and accessibility, Pacific Neuropsychiatric Specialists (PNS) has officially rebranded itself as Mentava Mental Health. This change, effective from today, encompasses all eight locations across Orange County, Long Beach, and Corona, California.

The decision to adopt the name “Mentava” comes from the Latin term “mente”, which translates to “mind”. The new name, combined with “Mental Health”, ensures that the services provided are immediately recognizable. Dr. Alejandro Alva, the CEO and founder of Mentava Mental Health, articulated that the change serves a dual purpose: maintaining the trust built over 26 years while making the practice easier to find for those in need.

Maintaining Consistency in Care

For existing patients, this rebranding will not affect their care in any way. All appointments remain unchanged — patients will continue to see their same providers, utilize the same office locations, and access all their medical records seamlessly. Moreover, the transition ensures that accepted insurance plans stay intact, meaning no additional steps are required from patients. The website for the practice has also transitioned to mentavamentalhealth.com, with old links automatically redirecting users.

This thoughtful rebranding underscores Mentava’s commitment to their patient community. Aashish Patel, the COO, notes, “The new name reflects the full range of care we already provide and allows us to continue evolving our services in response to patient needs.” Mentava offers a comprehensive spectrum of services, including medication management, psychotherapy, and interventional psychiatry approaches like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), IV ketamine treatment, and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), in collaboration with local hospitals.

Comprehensive Care and continued Trust

With a seasoned team of over 60 practitioners, Mentava Mental Health provides care for a multitude of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, and various cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. The practice has evolved from a single office with a single provider to a robust network dedicated to promoting mental wellness.

Besides therapy and medication management, the organization also engages in extensive clinical research into mental health conditions, seeking to advance treatment methodologies and offer patients the latest in mental health care. The adaptation of the new name also serves as a resourceful tool for primary care physicians and other healthcare practitioners when referring patients.

A Call to Action for New Patients

Individuals seeking mental health care are encouraged to reach out. With services now clearly delineated, new patients can easily book appointments online or contact their nearest office directly. Mentava Mental Health is set up to accept a variety of insurance plans, including Medicare, Medi-Cal, and Tricare, making it accessible to a broader audience.

As this esteemed practice shifts into a new chapter, the reputation built over decades remains intact. The name change is an effort to enhance the visibility of their services while upholding the trust of their many patients. In the words of Dr. Alva, “Our patients have trusted us with their care for over 26 years, and that trust is the one thing we were careful not to change.”

Conclusion

As Mentava Mental Health ushers in this new era, its commitment to patient-centered care and mental health advocacy continues to be a cornerstone of its practice. Whether dealing with acute mental health issues or seeking preventive support, individuals in Southern California can find reassurance in this well-established institution now rebranded for better understanding and accessibility.
