Dr. Bansal advocates for reforming the mental health system by bridging traditional psychiatry with innovative solutions to improve overall care quality.

His impact is recognized by colleagues and healthcare systems, with increasing interest from insurers and providers in adopting MindWeal’s innovative care models.

He strongly believes that investing resources in empowering mid-level providers can significantly reduce the mental health care gap and lead to better outcomes for children.

Dr. Bansal is on a mission to transform the national mental health landscape by promoting integrated, human-centered care that emphasizes accuracy, accessibility, and compassion.

He founded MindWeal in 2020 to address systemic gaps in child mental health services, especially where demand exceeds supply, by integrating technology, training, and clinical care to empower mid-level providers like nurse practitioners.

With extensive clinical practice and research in autism and developmental disorders, Dr. Bansal's background informs MindWeal's evidence-based approach to mental health care.

MindWeal developed a sophisticated 1300-touch-point diagnostic tool that enhances diagnostic accuracy and consistency, particularly for nurse practitioners with limited child psychiatry experience.

The organization prioritizes education and mentorship through structured rotations, helping providers confidently prescribe medications and effectively engage with families.

Under his leadership, MindWeal has expanded to four practices across Illinois and Missouri, offering in-person, hybrid, and virtual care, with plans for nationwide growth driven by positive patient and family feedback.

His vision is to create a more integrated, effective, and humane mental health system that prioritizes children's well-being.

Originally from India and now based in Pittsburgh, Dr. Bansal has become a prominent child and adolescent psychiatrist committed to improving mental health care through research, leadership, and innovative practices.
