Dear friends, colleagues, patients, and community,

For over a decade, Mind Health Institute, Pasadena, has aimed to revolutionize the culture and structure of delivering mental health services with the purpose of providing great care and promoting mental health and well-being to all of our wonderful patients in the Pasadena area and beyond.

With that goal in mind, we’re thrilled to announce some transformative updates to our practice.

First, we’re changing our name. Mind Health Institute, Pasadena, will now be known as ResWell.

Why ResWell?

In the Fall of 2015, Dr. Navarro and his team developed an innovative movement & mindfulness program called the Resiliency Wellness Program. The goal was to incorporate prescribed movement and mindfulness strategies to optimize mental health upon recovery of an acute crisis or relapse. Originally, the name highlighted the goal at hand.

However, our community members started shortening the long name to ResWell, and the name stuck. We are proud that the name, ResWell, was born out of our local community. And to honor their commitment to optimizing their mental health, Dr. Navarro renamed the entire clinic ResWell.

Dr. Navarro’s vision has always been more than just medication management and psychotherapy. He believes the future of mental health will encompass an integrative team approach to a healing journey.

With this guiding philosophy, ResWell will fulfill this vision.

What is ResWell?

ResWell is on a mission to educate the community, optimize health, and eradicate the stigma around mental health.

We deliver this promise by creating personalized journeys with an integrative, whole-person, team approach where every individual can gain a new perspective and develop tools to effectively manage their mental health.

We feel our new name, ResWell, will better emphasize our commitment to a comprehensive and caring approach to mental health and wellness.
