Aadhar - Mental Wellness

06/12/2026

Too many men suffer in silence — not because help doesn't exist, but because they're taught to "tough it out" or they feel they can't afford it.

This Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, we want every man in North Texas to know: it's brave to seek help when you need it and cost should never be the reason you don't get support.

Aadhar provides no-cost mental health services to those who qualify. As an NTBHA-authorized service provider, we're committed to making compassionate, quality care accessible to everyone.

If you or a man in your life is struggling, reach out. Help is here, and it's within reach. 💙

🎤 We're excited to share that our founder, Dr. Sejal Mehta, MD, MBA, LFAPA, is taking the stage at EAPA Lone Star — and this is a presentation every HR professional, EAP counselor, and workplace leader needs in their toolkit: "From Crisis to Comeback: Mastering the Art of Workplace Interventions"

Dr. Sejal Mehta will walk attendees through three powerful objectives:

🔍 Recognize & Intervene Early — Identify behavioral, cognitive, and psychiatric warning signs before a crisis becomes a termination, using a structured triage framework to match the right intervention to the right level of risk.
⚖️ Navigate the Clinical & Legal Landscape — Apply evidence-based tools from Motivational Interviewing to Last-Chance Agreements, while managing documentation, confidentiality, FMLA/ADA obligations, and safety-sensitive role requirements.
🤝 Build a Recovery-to-Work Partnership — Coordinate referral-to-treatment pathways, address family and psychiatric factors affecting performance, and implement return-to-work protocols that protect the employee's job — and the employer's investment.
💡 This is the intersection of clinical expertise and business acumen the workplace wellness space has been waiting for. Come ready to learn, connect, and leave with tools you can use immediately.

"I can't afford therapy." — The cost of mental health care stops too many people from getting the help they deserve. But here's what we want you to know: cost should never be the reason you suffer in silence.

At Aadhar Mental Wellness, we believe that quality mental health care is a right — not a privilege. That's why we work with North Texas Behavioral Health Authority and others to provide services to everyone in our community, regardless of their ability to pay.
If you've been putting off getting help because of cost, here are a few things to know:
🔹 Sliding scale fees — you pay only what you can afford
🔹 No one is turned away — ever
🔹 Confidential, compassionate care — from professionals who understand your community
🔹 You deserve support — whatever your financial situation

📩 Reach out to us today. A conversation costs nothing — and it could change everything.

🎙️ Introducing Mind, Medicine & Compassion — a series of conversations with the founder of Aadhar, Dr. Sejal Mehta, MD.

We're kicking off this series with a quote that stopped us in our tracks — pulled from Dr. Sejal Mehta's recent sit-down on the Bernitha Rena Relates podcast. If you haven't listened yet, put it on your list! (Here's the full interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqLTNABg6eg)

Dr. Mehta is a triple board-certified in adult, child & adolescent psychiatry, and addiction medicine, and has spent 25+ years at the forefront of psychiatric care in the DFW area. She is the founder of Aadhar, a nonprofit committed to making quality mental health care accessible to everyone — regardless of income, insurance, or zip code.

But what truly sets her apart is what she knows that most physicians don't — yet.

As principal investigator on 75+ clinical pharmaceutical trials, Dr. Mehta has studied treatments before they reach the public. That includes being on the front lines of one of the most exciting and carefully watched conversations in psychiatry right now: the therapeutic potential of psychedelics — including psilocybin — for conditions like depression, PTSD, anxiety, and postpartum depression.

And she has opinions. Informed ones.

This series is your chance to hear them.

🍄🧠 What if the future of mental health treatment has been growing in the ground for thousands of years? At the DFW Behavioral Health Symposium, Dr. Sejal Mehta — psychiatrist, researcher, and founder of House of Minds — delivered a fascinating talk titled "Psychedelics: Back to the Future," breaking down what the science actually says about psilocybin and other psychedelics in treating depression, PTSD, anxiety, and postpartum depression. With over 80 clinical trials under her belt and firsthand experience as a principal investigator in FDA-approved research, Dr. Mehta gives us a rare, credible, inside look at where this groundbreaking field is headed.

But this conversation goes beyond just the research. In a candid video conversation with Bernitha Rena, Dr. Mehta gets refreshingly real about the risks, the misconceptions, and the deeper question of why people seek these experiences in the first place — dropping one of the most powerful lines of the symposium: "Do not take a shortcut if you really want to experience transcendence — put in the work." Joined by Ahundry Gonzalez, Community Outreach & Admissions Director, they also share the incredible wraparound services available through House of Minds, Aadhar Mental Wellness, and Ascent Texas IOP. This is a must-watch for anyone curious about the future of mental health. 👇 Watch the full video interview here:
