I saw her at Sheldon Chumir in Calgary. I voluntarily sought trauma counselling. She was 15 minutes late. She’s asked me to tell her what I went through - I told her everything. She said “that doesn’t make sense, you are so pretty.” I said “what?!” She continued “you look like you are from the mid west (referring to United States), no one would know what you’d been through - you should be drooling on yourself in a corner.” I honestly didn’t know how to respond to so many problematic and dismissive comments at once - so I just said “well, life doesn’t discriminate.” She then told me that I should get onto an anti-psychotic medication. To which, I asked why. She responded that “people who have been through what you’ve been through always end up psychotic. It’s only a matter of time - and if you don’t want to end up violent, you need to take it.” I told her I saw no evidence in my life that I would need such a heavy drug, as I’m not nor have been a violent person - that I don’t have a record of that or a pattern of behaviour like that. She argued it was preventative. I told her I had an 8 hour neuropsychology exam after my recent brain injury, and at no point did it mention anything about psychosis - just trauma and adhd. She requested the exam - I said she had my permission to read it. I told her I would speak to my doctors boy the medication she was advising before I took a prescription for it. She laughed at that and said I would only have to worry if low blood pressure was a concern. It was I had a blockage in my eye from the brain injury - and had eye strokes. She said next time we would talk about whether that was true or not stood up, pushed my jacket into my chest, took me by the shoulders and escorted me down the hall. I was in this weird compliant shock, so I just went along with that stupefied. At the end of the hall she said I was welcome to come back when I was taking the medication. I told my doctor, my eye surgeon, and my rheumatologist about the medication suggestion. They all said the same thing “excessive, unnecessary, dangerous medication suggestion.” Two of them said “do not continue to see her” My doctor even contacted her to see if she would suggest necessary medication, she refused. He told me never to see her again as she didn’t have my health in mind - and didn’t even know me well enough to prescribe that and could have blinded me. I only went back to tel her I was no longer going to see her - something ab health required me to do to close the file. So I did. That was it. Bullet dodged. Weirdest experience ever.

Dr. Ullyatt was my first psychiatrist when I was just barely 16 years old, I had suicidal ideation, had just experienced a traumatizing family event, and was having about 3 panic attacks a day when I first went to see her and my appointments with her left me feeling worse than prior each time. On top of the fact that their office will abruptly change your appointment dates + ghost you when trying to get back in contact with them, some of the things this doctor has told me had stuck with my teenage mind for a long time. Being afraid and completely unaware of what I was going through, one of the first questions I asked her was "Am I going to feel like this forever?" in to which she responded saying "If I could give you enough medication to make you feel better, you'd be a literal zombie" and, "If I had a magic wand that could take away everyone's problems, I wouldn't have a job."
She eventually diagnosed me with some things that I later found out I did not actually have, but one of the major ones (which I do have) was "Generalized Anxiety Disorder", which is an anxiety disorder without triggers. She then proceeded to insist I needed to find what triggered my anxiety. (Impossible with generalized, and she didn't give me any tools to figure that out anyway)
At a breaking point I did end up in the hospital for a suicide attempt, and when they released me she told my mother the official diagnosis was that I was a "moody teenager"

I’d like to refer to Dr.Ulyatt at this hospital she’s a psychiatrist who will prescribe you brand new medication and then take a two month vacation with no back up resources given I’m unable to stop taking this medication that is making my hair fall out and giving me extreme panic and anxiety attacks she doesn’t respond to her emails and is very unprofessional I expressed my concern and my desire to be taken off this medication and she refused would not authorize it and then took holiday with no way for me to contact any one else who may be able to authorize me to get off this medication she takes symptoms from different traumas and uses them to does her patients to make them docile and easy to deal with a horrible DR with little human compassion she understands my situation and takes advantage of my vulnerable mental state to push my opinions and feelings to the side and steam roll with whatever she feels like that day if I could give this place zero stars I would as well as she also claims she schedules appointments for you and then when the time comes she forgets isn’t available or never scheduled you anything in the first place

She is and has been fantastic to me. She is well versed in her profession and is so good with my complex conditions. I love her and would recommend her to anyone with mental health issues or neurological issues like I have.

This doctor doesn't take suicide seriously. She would rolled her eyes and smirk like it is some kind of joke when I happened to slashing my neck and wrists that night and at the same time, almost being suicided by RNC officer with a gun pointing to my head. I tried overdosing myself as well. She is very uncaring and doesn't have time to listen to my problems but to send me back home again being suicidal. The ER doctors are just as terrible as she is. I would never go back there again knowing that they will make you feel so much worst than you did before.

Dr Ullyatt was my Dr and told me she had the power to erase all the diagnosis from the Waterford hospital if i had no symptoms, yet during that years i had almost daily support from her Assertive community treatment team, of course i would have no symptoms with that much support, She then decides to change my meds, which were working, she has no concept of severe childhood trauma and its link to borderline personality disorder and wont agree with complex traumatic stress disorder, she will say you have a symptom of this disorder and a symptom of another, yet its all trauma, so she misdiagnosis and medicates to make the patient docile and easy to deal with, with no therapy for the core issue of trauma, 5 psychiatrists and no psychotherapist, you wonder why we are so sick, since her decision i live in total isolation, with uncontrollable anxiety, panic, and mood swings and cannot get any help for my complex trauma( trauma on top of trauma on top of trauma.)

Dr. Ullyatt was my psychiatrist for a bit. I came to see her because I needed a med change because my body had gotten used to the ones I was on and were no longer as effective as they needed to be. She looked at my diagnosis' and pharscribed me some new meds, to make a long story short she had gave me meds where the dosages were too high and they made me very angry and agreesive. I had never been given doses higher then I can handle by any doctor or psychiatrist in my experience of getting help for my mental health problems except Dr. Ullyatt. Also it was a commute to go see Dr. Ullyatt and someone I knew was seeing her but via skype so I suggested doing that and she refused to do it even though to see her in person is very hard due to the amount of patients she has. If you are going to help someone and give them different medications you need to see the progression of what is happening to the person you gave those meds to and you can't wait 6 months until you see them to find out. I stopped seeing her and had a very bad experience with her. For anyone who had a good experience with her I'm happy you got the answers you needed and the help you needed.
