Mindful Health Solutions offers a wide range of outpatient mental health services, most of which are aimed at addressing treatment-resistant depression. This includes a suite of interventional psychiatry services — such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), Sparvato and other ketamine treatments — as well as therapy. The company uses a stepwise protocol.

Norwest invested growth equity into Mindful Health Solutions in May 2021. Norwest also previously invested in the text therapy giant Talkspace Inc. (Nasdaq: TALK) as well as the autism therapy provider Kyo Autism Therapy and the addiction treatment provider RiverMend Health.
