BRIA is not an urgent care service. Since we only offer virtual services, we do not offer care to those with an acute mental illness who are better seen in a hospital or in-person setting.
This includes:
People in crisis
People who have been admitted to a psychiatric hospital within the past 3 months
People who are suicidal or who have been treated for suicidality in the past 3 months
People in a manic episode or who have been manic in the past 3 months
People who have active psychotic symptoms or an untreated psychotic illness
People with active substance use concerns, or who have had active concerns over the past 3 months
If you are in crisis, please go to the nearest emergency department, call 911, or call or text 988, the Suicide Crisis Helpline.
Most benefits plans cover certain types of mental health services. It is highly likely that most of BRIA’s credentialed healthcare providers will be covered by your specific benefits plan or health spending account.
No, we are not offering direct billing at this time. Please check with your benefits provider to see what type of mental health coverage you have (specifically check coverage for RN nurses, Occupational Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Social Worker, Registered Dietitian). BRIA professionals are covered by most benefits plans.
Yes! Men can book a few of our services directly: Supporting Partners Therapy, Couples Therapy, Sleep Therapy, Dietitian Care, and ADHD Assessments. For our full menu of services for men, booking can be completed here: https://betterbria.janeapp.com/
Yes! If you are female between the ages of 18-65 and are struggling with mental health or hormone concerns and wish to see if BRIA is right for you, please start with a free call to learn which BRIA services can help.
BRIA’s expert MD Psychiatrists offer medications (such as antidepressants) for women ages 18-65 across reproductive life stages, when needed, after a comprehensive assessment.
BRIA’s Nurse Practitioners may prescribe ADHD medications (such as psychostimulants) after a thorough assessment. Nurse Practitioners may also prescribe Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT) or other medications after a MEDI Hormone Assessment for PMS or perimenopause symptoms.
Remember that medications are only part of the treatment plan; often therapy, sleep management, and lifestyle changes are required for a complete care plan (and BRIA offers all these services too!)
Start by booking a MINI Mental Health Assessment here.
Any client or patient at BRIA who works with more than one healthcare professional will benefit from BRIA’s team-based care. This leads to cohesive care so you will not fall through the cracks.
Your Care Coordinator is at the centre of the BRIA care system. You may connect with her at the start of your journey with BRIA and she will be someone who you can connect with at other points along the way. Whether you need therapy or work with one of our other healthcare providers, your team of professionals will share information and updates about you and your progress, in order to best support you, guide you, and ensure you are getting the care you need.
At BRIA, we value the privacy of your personal health care information.
We do not save the information from the quiz responses that you entered on our website.
Once you have agreed to meet with a BRIA Care Coordinator for a MINI Assessment, your information will be entered into our electronic medical record, Jane APP. In Jane APP, all of your information is stored privately and securely. Each BRIA health care provider who you see will input information into your secure electronic chart on Jane App. Once you begin BRIA services, we will set up an account for you on Greenspace, for symptom tracking. This online service is also PHIPA compliant and will store the information that you enter in a secure manner.
The cost of BRIA services varies depending on the exact service. For the most up- to-date pricing information, please refer to our booking site, https://betterbria.janeapp.com/.
BRIA’s MEDI Hormone Assessment is a thorough hormone assessment that will address your concerns and symptoms during the menopause transition and in menopause.
The MEDI Hormone Assessment is done by a Nurse Practitioner who reviews your current concerns and medical history. At the end of the MEDI, you will be provided with comprehensive treatment recommendations: health, lifestyle and medication options, including menopause hormone therapy, if needed.
To access the MEDI, start with a MINI Assessment with our Care Coordinators to see if this is right for you.
If you have any questions, please email care@betterbria.com.
