Donna Surjnarine
Hello! Congratulations on taking the hardest step in the journey towards good mental health! My name is Donna and I believe that the mind and body work together to create health. Our environment, work, food, spirituality and medications all play a role in how we feel and how we care for ourselves and one another.

My 13 years of experience as a Nurse Practitioner have shown me that I am where I need to be in order to help people struggling with their mental health.
First session
During our first session, I want to hear your story. In a safe and non-judgemental environment, I will listen to what is affecting your life the most. I would like to know what your goals are for our time together as well. I will do my best to explain any treatments and will leave time for questions.
Strengths
I truly care about what you are going through and want to help you get through it. I will work with you to help you to overcome obstacles. There is never any pressure to do things that you are uncomfortable with. Trust is very important to me. We cannot make progress or work through difficult emotions or challenging behaviors if you do not trust that I want the best for you.
Ideal clients
When you are tired of feeling bad and are ready to start on your journey towards good mental health, I am here to help!
