When to See Both
In some cases, you might benefit from both counseling and medical care. Our team of counsellors, mental health nurses, and physicians/psychiatrists often work together to support your well-being. Counselors provide talk therapy, mental health nurses connect you with resources, and physicians/psychiatrists focus on diagnosis, physical symptoms, and medication management. For instance, if you’re experiencing moderate depression or anxiety, therapy can help with coping strategies, while a physician or psychiatrist may offer a diagnosis and manage any necessary medication.
