What type of life are you envisioning? Picture it now and allow me to help get you there! I firmly believe that, in order to truly assist people in obtaining their goals, the practitioner must have the necessary life experience to speak of and work through the many sufferings, setbacks and obstacles that life can sometimes present to us. It is how we get through these obstacles, however, that ultimately defines us. The choice alone is yours and I am here to instill the motivation within you and which lives inside each of us, waiting to be awakened.

Through life's traumas, struggles, and injustices, our image gets slowly distorted. Our cups are emptied. We start to believe in lies and build strongholds. Anxiety and depression take control of us. Daily, we seek things that will "fill" our cups, but we can't... at least, not with our own strength; so instead, we build walls and we isolate. Let's change that narrative!

If you are struggling with your substance use and you're feeling like you are no longer in control, it might be time to consider change.

Medication Management Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to manage medications?
One of the most effective ways a patient can manage their medications is to keep a list of each drug and dosage they take. Such a list can be helpful in keeping to their schedule and can also be something they bring to their psychiatrist or other physician so that the healthcare provider has a clear picture of what they’re taking and in what quantity. Using a pill organiser can be useful for memory and organisation. Patients should discuss their medications and their effects at every appointment.
What are the risks if medications are not managed properly?
A suboptimal approach to medication management can lead to potentially harmful health outcomes. Most psychiatric drugs have side effects, and if a patient is not aware of them, they may seek additional medical help or over the counter or prescription drugs to treat the side effects, which may have its own side effects, a process called “prescription cascade.” Another risk to disorganisation is that a psychiatrist without full knowledge of a patient’s regimen could prescribe a medication that should not be mixed with a patient’s existing drugs.
What’s the best way to encourage someone to get help managing their medications?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing medication management as a tool for improving their life and avoiding dangerous side effects. Offering specific examples of an individual’s failure to properly manage their medication regimen should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to break management down into parts, and there are several apps that can be used to organize which drugs are ingested, when they need to be refilled, and how they should be stored.
Are there natural treatments that can replace medications?
While there are many medications that can be vital to mental health, there are some natural lifestyle changes that can help reduce the need for drugs. Regular exercise, good sleep habits, a healthy diet, and therapy can all go a long way in symptom relief. Psychiatric medications typically treat symptoms but do not necessarily treat the cause of the condition. Many clinicians consider medications an adjunct to treatment rather than a treatment in and of itself.
