Service 01

Functional Psychiatric Assessment

A 60–90 minute MD-led consultation that resolves diagnostic ambiguity, ranks contributing factors, and produces a written treatment plan with explicit functional goals — the kind a primary care doctor, employer, or insurer can actually act on.

Comprehensive diagnostic review

Integrates history, current presentation, prior trials, comorbidities, and biological factors that primary care often hasn't had time to map.

Functional goal-setting from day one

What 'better' looks like in this client's life: hours worked, sleep, social engagement, parenting capacity. Specific, measurable, time-bound.

Written treatment plan, shared securely

Ranked recommendations, medication considerations, therapy fit, and a follow-up cadence — delivered to the client and, with consent, to the family physician.

Service 02

Return-to-Work Focused Psychotherapy

Therapy delivered with the workplace in view from the start. Each block of sessions is anchored to a function the client wants back — concentration, sleep, conflict tolerance, the courage to walk back through the door — and we measure as we go.

Clinician matching, not waiting lists

Therapists are matched on clinical fit, language, and modality — not whoever is available next.

Outcomes tracked in session

Validated measures (PHQ-9, GAD-7, WHODAS) plus functional self-report — reviewed at every check-in, not buried in a chart.

Graded workplace re-entry

Therapist coordinates with the case manager and (with consent) the employer to time the return correctly — and to protect the gains once it happens.

Coordinated, not fragmented

The whole team meets at the same table.

Psychiatrist, therapist, primary care — and (when consented) the workplace case manager — aligned on one plan with one set of goals. Reviewed at scheduled case conferences, not by accident.

Scheduled case conferences

Every 4–6 weeks during active treatment. Plan adjustments are documented, not improvised.

Single shared record

Encrypted, PHIPA-compliant. The next clinician never starts from scratch.

Employer-friendly reporting

With consent, functional progress is summarised in language that case managers and HR can use — without breaching clinical privacy.

Frequently asked

Answers to what we hear most.

How is BridgeMed different from a regular EAP or virtual therapy app?
EAPs and virtual therapy apps cap at 4–8 sessions and rarely loop in psychiatry. We're a coordinated psychiatric practice — assessments, therapy, medication, and primary care alignment — built specifically for complex cases where return-to-function is the goal.
Are you covered by my insurance or extended health plan?
Most extended-health, EAP, and disability plans cover registered psychotherapy and psychiatric assessments. We confirm coverage before booking and provide claim-ready receipts. Several employer plans cover BridgeMed directly — ask us.
How fast can someone be seen?
Initial intake within 48 hours. Most clients see a psychiatrist inside ten business days from referral. Expedited options exist for high-acuity disability cases.
Do you treat conditions other than depression and anxiety?
Yes. The practice handles mood, anxiety, trauma-related conditions, ADHD presentations affecting function, occupational burnout, and substance-related comorbidities. We do not provide acute psychiatric emergency services.
Can my family physician stay involved?
We strongly prefer it. With your consent we send the assessment summary, treatment plan, and progress notes back to your GP — in their language, on their timeline.
