Mental Health Diagnosis and Treatment
At Resilience Counselling & Wellness, we have a nurse practitioner who can offer mental health diagnosis and treatment. A nurse practitioner is an advanced practice registered nurse who is trained to provide care to patients who are struggling with physical and mental health issues. They are different from registered nurses (RN) – nurse practitioners have the education and experience to treat their patients.
​
Our nurse practitioner is Guillaume Tremblay, who has worked as a nurse practitioner for many years and has extensive experience with the treatment of mental health issues.
