Metabolic Mental Health
Metabolic Mental Health

Enhance your mental well-being with metabolic psychiatry strategies - a specialized approach that integrates dietary interventions, such as ketogenic diets, to improve mental health. Emerging research shows a powerful connection between metabolic and mental health, suggesting that dietary changes can positively affect mood, cognitive function, and emotional resilience. By stabilizing blood sugar, reducing inflammation, and promoting neuroprotection, ketogenic diets may offer significant benefits for managing conditions like anxiety, mood disorders, and ADHD.

A one-hour initial assessment will be conducted to explore your specific need and mental health goals. From there, a personalized plan will be developed to facilitate your transition to a ketogenic diet. Weekly follow-up sessions of 30 minutes to 1-hour are recommended for the first few weeks to provide continuous support and guidance. Sessions are billed at $200/hr, with charges based on time used.

ADHD
Adult ADHD

Adult ADHD services include comprehensive assessments and customized treatment recommendations. As a Registered Psychiatric Nurse (RPN) in Manitoba, I am authorized to perform thorough ADHD assessments and provide recommendations informed by professional judgment. Registered Psychiatric Nurses in Manitoba are authorized  to diagnose and offer treatment recommendations under the Regulated Health Professions Act, within their scope of practice . Please note that diagnoses can only be provided to residents of Manitoba.

Comprehensive ADHD assessments are available, which encompasses two one-hour assessment sessions scheduled separately, along with a detailed report outlining personalized recommendations. For individuals who have already received an ADHD diagnosis, I provide consultation sessions to explore alternative treatment options, including lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and functional medicine approaches to enhance ADHD management. For those seeking ongoing support, ADHD coaching and behavioral strategies are also available. Services are billed at a rate of $200/hr. 

Psychotherpay
Psychotherapy

For over a decade, I have dedicated my practice to delivering behavioral-based interventions, primarily utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for clients facing various mental health concerns.

 

DBT is a structured therapeutic approach that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, empowering clients to regulate their emotions, enhance interpersonal relationships, and develop distress tolerance skills. Through DBT, clients learn to embrace acceptance while facilitating meaningful change, making it particularly effective for those grappling with intense emotions and interpersonal challenges.

In contrast, ACT emphasizes the importance of accepting thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values. This therapeutic approach encourages individuals to create a meaningful life by ensuring that their actions reflect their core values, even in the face of psychological distress. By fostering psychological flexibility, ACT empowers clients to break free from unhelpful patterns and cultivate resilience.

I integrate both DBT and ACT into my practice, tailoring interventions to meet the unique needs of each individual. For new clients seeking support, I provide a collaborative environment where they can explore their challenges and work toward their goals with compassion and understanding. Sessions are billed at $200/hr and receipts can be provided for insurance reimbursement. 

If you are seeking comprehensive DBT treatment please contact DBT Winnipeg Inc. : info@dbtwinnipeg.com.
