The Wellness Nurse

07/29/2025

Over the next while, I’ll be stepping back from regular social media updates.

The Wellness Nurse is absolutely still open, and I’m continuing to see clients — so feel free to reach out or book an appointment anytime!

I look forward to reconnecting here in the fall! 🌿

This is a great read Mood Disorders Society of Canada

I talk A LOT about how important sleep is, particularly for folks with a mood disorder.

Thoughts about sleep??

🛌 How does sleep affect your mental health? And how does mental illness impact the way we sleep?

The Mood Disorders Society of Canada (MDSC) conducted a national survey to explore:
🔹 How Canadians sleep
🔹 What they believe about sleep
🔹 And the deep connection between sleep and mental health

🧠 The findings highlight how crucial quality sleep is for our emotional well-being, and how mental health struggles can disrupt it.

What a great description of Nurse Psychotherapy Mindfully Nursed

If you have questions, reach out to either of us 👏

Let’s be honest.
A lot of people don’t even know what nurse psychotherapy is.

But if you’ve ever left an appointment wishing someone had slowed down, really listened, and actually got it—that’s what therapy with a nurse psychotherapist feels like.

It’s steady.
It’s grounded.
It’s trauma-informed and genuinely human.

I work with people who are used to holding it all together. The caregivers. The overthinkers. The ones who are tired of pretending everything is fine.

You don’t need to be in crisis to come to therapy.
You don’t need a diagnosis.
And you definitely don’t need to have it all figured out.

This is a space where you can breathe again.
Where nothing is “too much.”
Where you don’t have to explain why it’s hard right now.

I offer therapy:
✔ In-person in Cornwall
✔ Virtually across Ontario and Nova Scotia

Book a free consult or first session at mindfullynursed.janeapp.com

And if someone you care about has been meaning to reach out—send this to them.
Sometimes the right words show up at the right time.

We hung these posters up around town - although my office is physically in Kincardine, both myself and our AMAZING student therapist see folks virtually across Ontario.

If you or someone you know would benefit from some lower cost therapy (not lower quality, I assure you), this might be just what's needed.

Yulia is super cool, super knowledgeable, and she's a nurse - so, enough said lol.

Thanks for this thoughtful post Meadows Behavioral Healthcare

If you've been living with the weight of trauma, know this: healing is possible — and you don’t have to do it alone.

As a nurse psychotherapist, I offer Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) — a structured, evidence-based approach that helps people understand and shift the thoughts that keep them stuck in trauma.

CPT is especially effective for:
✔️ Survivors of interpersonal trauma
✔️ Frontline workers and healthcare professionals
✔️ Anyone living with PTSD who’s ready to take a step forward

You deserve care that’s grounded in both compassion and research.

If you’re curious about whether CPT might be right for you, I’m happy to chat.

I love sharing information, and if you know me, you know I absolutely love sharing information regarding mental health nursing!

Although this isn't directly about nurse psychotherapy, it is about nurses gaining knowledge, having specialized skills and what the barriers and facilitators are to that.

If you see me around, only ask me if you have time to listen lol.
