Type One Diabetes

Psychotherapy & Type One Diabetes

Do you have Type One Diabetes? Managing a chronic condition is extremely difficult at times. There’s a lot of pressure and no break. I get it! I was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes at age 9. Therapy can be a great way to care for your mental health as you care for your physical health.

If you are looking for psychotherapy and want someone who also has the lived experience of managing blood sugar levels and A1C, using needles and an insulin pump, attending appointments, calculating carbs, getting proper exercise, and overall just feeling burnt out, I would be happy to talk with you.

Book an appointment or give me a call to access your free 15-minute consultation.

All sessions are available in-person to those in Belleville or Napanee. They are also available online to any Ontario residents.

If you are a health professional looking to refer your patient to this service, please email me at amy@meyerscreekpsychotherapy.ca or call me at 613-920-3851.

Sessions are run for 6 weeks. Each week will have time for open sharing and a guided theme with therapeutic tools and reflections. Topics include diabetes burnout, self-compassion, emotional awareness, and building resilience, among others.

This group is available as requested. Join the waitlist using the Booking Button above to hear about when the next group is being offered – or reach out to me directly!
