A private virtual psychiatry clinic
In any given year, 1 in 5 Canadians will suffer from mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, and other types of issues. For many, finding high-quality psychiatric care can be very challenging.
​
Reviva is an online service that offers timely assessments and follow-up treatment with top Canadian psychiatrists for residents of Quebec (why see a psychiatrist?).
​
Our services are not covered by Medicare, but in many cases are eligible for reimbursement by health insurance plans.
Better care
Reviva uses a method called "Measurement Based Care" where patients can track and share rich and detailed clinical data, in a secure and confidential manner, with our psychiatrists. This starts with a comprehensive intake assessment and then continues throughout the follow-up process with weekly symptom tracking until the mental health condition resolves. This method has been proven in numerous research studies to improve treatment outcomes by two-fold compared to usual care. Reviva is one of the few clinics in Canada to offer Measurement Based Care for mental health.
Premium service
After your initial evaluation, you will receive a detailed personalized report explaining your psychiatrist's conclusions and recommendations.
​
If you decide to continue in follow-up treatment, you will have ongoing and direct access to your psychiatrist via videoconferencing, telephone or secure messaging. All messages will be answered in 24 hours or less.
​
No need to travel for your appointment or wait in a crowded waiting room. All appointments can be via videoconference or telephone (though in-person appointments can also be offered).
​
Did you know that when you receive medical services under Medicare, your provincial government has full access to all your medical reports? Because Reviva is a private service and not funded by Medicare, all of your medical reports will remain completely confidential and shared only with the people you choose.

Our doctors
In our clinic, you will be seen by a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor specialized in diagnosing mental health conditions and prescribing medication treatment.
​
For conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD and others, medications are a safe, effective, and commonly used treatment. General Practitioners (ie. Family Doctors) can also prescribe these treatments, but psychiatrists are highly specialized in this area and are more likely to find the right medications for you much more quickly so that you can feel better as soon as possible.
​
Our psychiatrists have all been trained at Canada's top medical schools and have been carefully selected based on their clinical skills, professionalism, and dedication to the wellbeing of their patients.
