Hello Stephane,
I hope this newsletter finds you thriving and embracing the vibrant energy of spring.
It’s been some time since my last update, and much has evolved. Below are some key highlights:
Retirement from Psychotherapy: As of May 31, 2025, I will no longer provide ongoing psychotherapy services. My two remaining psychodynamic groups will continue under the leadership of Alexandra Peterson and Dr. Kanwal Kukreja, respectively.
Limited spots are available in Alexandra’s group; please get in touch with her directly for details.
Focus on Mindfulness Teaching: Moving forward, I will dedicate my practice exclusively to mindfulness therapy and education, including OHIP-covered MBSRX programs, the Mindsight Intensive program, which OHIP does not cover, and more to come with time.
I accept referrals from family physicians on an ongoing basis for OHIP-covered consultations for new patients interested in joining an MBSRX program.
MBSRX program additions:
During the program, each participant is given the opportunity to attend one or two individual, OHIP-covered check-in sessions with me.
Participants may also book an additional, OHIP-covered post-program follow-up session with me, if desired.
Open-Door Policy: I maintain an open-door policy for all current and former patients and students, whether I have seen them individually in a consultation or psychotherapy, in a meditation program, or a psychotherapy group. If you need guidance or support, please don't hesitate to book an OHIP-covered, one-time individual appointment. Simply send an email, and Reena will advise whether a new doctor’s referral is required.
Discontinuation of Weekly Mindfulness Drop-In: This year, I launched a pilot project of a weekly Zoom mindfulness drop-in group session on Fridays from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m., designed to provide a group forum for participants to explore mindfulness-related questions and learn from each other. The idea does not seem popular, as on average, only one or two participants attended each time, resulting in individual sessions. Given that my open-door policy accommodates such individually personalized support, I will discontinue this initiative effective May 31, 2025. Although a different time slot might increase attendance, my current schedule does not permit additional options.
I look forward to continuing to participate in your mindfulness journey.
With kind regards,
Dr. S. Treyvaud
