Assessments and written reports are often required for select fertility treatments, such as IVF or “third party reproduction/conception”, the term used when an individual or couple uses donor eggs, sperm, embryos or a gestational carrier to grow their family. These BRIA services include a counselling session and one report. Patients will receive the report to share with their fertility clinic. (Extra time and fees may be necessary at times). Pricing and session type will be confirmed via email in advance of any session.
Please reach out to clarify which service will meet your specific needs.
The MEDI Assessment is a thorough hormone assessment that will address your concerns and symptoms during the menopause transition (“perimenopause”). The MEDI can also assess other hormonal concerns, such as those related to contraception methods that may affect mood or anxiety, or severe premenstrual symptoms.
The MEDI Health 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 related to lifestyle and medication options, including menopause hormone therapy. You will then be offered brief follow-up with the Nurse Practitioner to ensure you are on the right track. We will share the assessment and management plan with your primary care provider.
To access the MEDI, start with a MINI Assessment with our Care Coordinator to see if this is right for you.

Nurse practitioners (NPs) are certified and trained healthcare providers who are authorized to provide a wide range of services to patients. In Ontario, NPs have completed a master’s degree in Advanced Practice Nursing, then they have passed a certification exam and are registered with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO). They also must have extensive clinical practice experience before they can register with the CNO as an NP. Once registered, they can provide a range of healthcare services, including diagnosing and treating common illnesses and injuries, prescribing medications, ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, and providing health education and counselling.
Nurse practitioners in Ontario have an important role in improving access to medical care for patients, particularly in underserved areas of healthcare and remote areas. They are also important members of a healthcare team and help to promote better health outcomes for patients and to reduce the burden on the health care system.
At BRIA, our Nurse Practitioners do our MEDI and ADHD Assessments and also offer other mental health assessments and follow-up services.
An ethical issue can arise when people are making complex choices for themselves, or on behalf of others. In such situations, an individual’s own set of values may conflict, or they may conflict with those of others, leading to uncertainty about how to proceed. Ethical decision-making involves deciding what to do, why to do it, and how to implement a decision.
The BRIA therapists are licensed health care providers– nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists– and are highly trained women’s mental health care practitioners.
