Dr. Perpick-Breton helped me successfully switch antidepressants (something I was very scared of doing). I had been on Effexor since the age of 18, I am now 33. I had never actually seen a psychiatrist before seeing Dr. Perpick-Breton. Between moving, traveling and starting working as a nurse, I always just went to walk-in clinics to get my prescriptions refilled. In 15 years of taking antidepressants I had never actually had a thorough assessment done with a psychiatrist. During a hard time this summer I made the decision to see a psychiatrist for a med review (very glad I did!). Dr. Perpick-Breton was knowledgeable, relatable, caring and encouraging. She helped me feel confident that I could do the medication switch without major side effects - she was right. I followed her tapering and cross-over schedule and had anti anxiety medication prescribed incase I started to have any unpleasant symptoms while switching medications. I appreciated the lengthy intake assessment. Some patients may find the paperwork and the time it takes to complete discouraging, but as a nurse, I know this is essential as it gives the Dr. the needed information to properly diagnose and treat the patient. A thorough and in-depth assessment is a sign of a good doctor. I am so thankful that I was able to connect with Dr. Perpick-Breton at a time when I really needed help but didn’t know where to turn. Thank you Dr. Perpick-Breton - you rock my socks!!

My husband and I completed a course of EFT couples therapy with Dr. Perpick. We had some serious issues which were not resolving despite several previous couple therapies. Dr. Perpick was thoughtful and understanding of both our positions, able to help us actually talk to each other in a way we did not know how to do, and able to help us truly "get" ourselves and each other. We have a better relationship now than we ever had, in that we have never felt closer. It was definitely worth investing in our marriage by seeing this doctor.

I began seeing Dr. Perpick after my wife delivered our third child. I became extremely depressed, which I now realize is actually quite common for new fathers, too. The thing was, though, that in addition to the symptoms I recognized as depression, I really felt I was going "soft" in the head. I became forgetful, losing things all the time, could not concentrate or pay attention, couldn't even follow a favorite TV series any more. I was making more and more mistakes at work and this was starting to cause me problems, adding to my distress. My wife was becoming concerned, as was the rest of my family. I feared this might be early Alzheimer's, but could not even say this out loud to anyone. Dr. Perpick immediately told me that cognitive symptoms are commonly part of depression, and even gave me a form to fill out which listed many of them, which made me feel better right away, that maybe there could be another explanation than dementia. Within a month, with her first medication, I was much improved, almost to the point of recovery but there were still some residual problems with my memory and attention. Dr. Perpick did not stop there. She fine-tuned my medication regimen and within the next month, I was as sharp as ever I've been, and in every way back to my old self. With Dr. Perpick's psychotherapy, my wife and I think I am actually doing better than ever. I apologize for the length of this post, but I really want people out there to know that depression is much more than about mood, and that there is hope for them, including for the really scary symptom of feeling like you are losing your mind. I want for Dr. Perpick to help as many people as she can, because she has so much to give.

Dr. Perpick is the most caring doctor I have ever met. She might not always be on time, but this is only because she does not watch the clock. I can’t count the number of times she was give me an extra time. Anyone who has her as a psychiatrist is very likely indeed.

We saw Dr Perpick-Breton for couples' therapy, having found her through the ICEEFT website. We chose her because she is so highly qualified although we had to travel a good 2 hours there and back for the visits. We each have some complex issues individually which made us quite a challenge as a couple, but Dr. Perpick-Breton was up for the task of working with us. Dr. Perpick-Breton was skilled, diligent, persistent, curious, transparent about what she was thinking and doing, always checked in with us to see how we were feeling about the work, and, importantly, really listened and responded to the feedback. We have no regrets whatsoever for the time and effort we put into the therapy. Life feels so much better now.

Dr. Perpick-Breton is extremely competent and very, very thorough. Even before you begin with her, there is an extensive intake which, while it takes work, is well worth the effort even for your own benefit because it gets you thinking about what you really need from the doctor. From the first meeting, which, in my case was online, Dr. Perpick-Breton demonstrates caring and commitment to doing her job to the best of her ability. She has a lovely manner, and can say things that many might not have the courage, confidence, and empathy to say. I really appreciate that about her. She always invites my participation and feedback, making it clear that we are working together towards my recovery, which is empowering. She has encouraged me to involve the people in my life who affect, and are important to, me in the therapy, which has been so helpful to us all. The decision to engage with this doctor has been one of my best.

Dr. Perpick-Breton is treating me for a bipolar disorder that was not diagnosed until I met her. I was spending half my life depressed, and feeling hopeless, waiting for the brief high periods, but ones that would cost me dearly. I was resistant to the changes in meds she suggested at first because I was scared, and I didn't trust psychiatrists any more, but she was patient and persistent. She is knowledgeable and loves her work, and really interested in me as a person. You can see how hard she works to help, that she believes she can help, that she knows what she is doing. This gave me the confidence to do what I needed to do to get better.

I am a professional in my 50s but was feeling at the end of my rope with respect to my ongoing struggles with anxiety, depression, and insomnia. The thought of waiting at least 9 months to see a psychiatrist, which is all my family doctor could offer - understandably, I suppose - made me feel near hopeless. A friend recommended psychiatry online Canada and Dr. Perpick- Breton. I was evaluated within 2 weeks after a very thorough intake process that also gave me confidence in the service. Dr. Perpick-Breton met with me via Skype during my lunch hours, which avoided travel time for me and made it less stressful for me to get the care I needed. She is clearly a skilled and knowledgeable professional, but it is her very warm, caring, and engaging manner, that, in my opinion, puts her off the charts. I was so pleased with this service, and Dr. Perpick-Breton’s care in particular. I wanted to express my appreciation.
