Our mental health services

The SSMT clinic offers a mental health consultation service through a specialized mental health nurse practitioner (IPSSM) to improve your psychological well-being.

 

In Quebec, specialized mental health nurse practitioners (MHNPs) can offer a full range of mental health services, including the assessment and diagnosis of mental health problems in adults and adolescents, and the prescription and adjustment of medication. They also collaborate with other health professionals to provide comprehensive care according to patients’ needs. For example, they can refer patients for therapy. 

We are able to assess, treat and monitor the following conditions:

Anxiety

Intense feelings of nervousness, worry or fear, often accompanied by physical symptoms such as muscle tension and accelerated heart rate.

Depression

Mood disorder causing persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities and changes in appetite and sleep.
