REFERRALS
AND ASSESSMENTS
To
refer a patient to the stress reduction clinic, please fax a referral note
to Dr. S. Treyvaud at 905-842-0453. At the same time, ask the patient to
call and make an appointment.
In
order to establish medical indications, individual needs and
contra-indications, every patient is first assessed individually. The
assessment is designed to give the patient direction, feedback, and
recommendations regarding their intentions to join the introductory
mindfulness-based stress reduction programs.
Treatment
recommendations are based on a bio-psycho-social approach. This means
consideration of the whole person when recommendations are discussed on
the basis of six areas of interest, including:
- Psychotherapy
and psychoanalysis
- Mindfulness-based
stress reduction program
- Life
style changes
- Medication
- Social
recommendations
- Other
medical recommendations
If
indicated and a spot is available, treatment is offered for those services
that Dr. Treyvaud specializes in, including individual psychoanalysis,
psychodynamic group psychotherapy and the mindfulness-based stress
reduction programs. For all other treatments, the patient is referred to a
health professional recommended by Dr. Treyvaud for the required
specialty.

Nothing less will do;
