Everything we do is thanks to our highly skilled, caring team.

A message from Dr. Steven Zizzo:

As the Medical Director of Winterberry Family Medicine I am proud and  in awe of our skilled, hard working and caring team. To make sure that our team feels seen and appreciated we celebrate #TeamTuesday on social  media each week, thanking one of our team members for their contribution. And, each month we share a “Q+A” with a team member so our patients can get to know them better.

Winterberry is once again nominated as Best Medical Clinic in the Hamilton Readers’ Choice Awards. As I do each year, I dedicate this well-deserved nomination to our team. The award winning care we deliver is due to their efforts and skill. To our team I say thank you for helping us be recognized as one of the best clinics in the city. Together we all make Winterberry the special place it is!

Reader’s Choice nomination

At Winterberry we are proud to be nominated once again for Best Medical Clinic in the Reader’s Choice Awards. We dedicate this nomination to our hardworking, skilled and kind team of healthcare professionals. We could not achieve what we do without each of them and are grateful to have their work recognized through award nominations such as Reader’s Choice.

Team Spotlight

Kelly, Mental Health Counsellor

In this month’s team Q+A we catch up with Kelly and get insight into Adult Mental Health services.

Did you know?

Winterberry is here for your mental health needs.

Everyone experiences periods of positive and negative mental health throughout the duration of their life. Some people live with mental health conditions like anxiety and mood disorders and experience periods of wellness and periods of poor mental health. Other individuals may not be living with a mental health condition, but can still experience periods of wellness mixed with periods of mental wellness.

This month we caught up with Kelly, one of our skilled and caring Mental Health Counsellors and asked her a few questions to help our patients and community members understand her role and how we’re here to help.

QUESTION: How does Winterberry help and support adult patient’s mental health?

KELLY: The adult population holds the majority of individuals we see at Winterberry. By utilizing a person-centred approach, the mental health counsellors seek to meet the clients where they are at in their mental health journey, and provide compassion and empathy for their concerns. Interventions can be used to address mental health concerns, but the power of providing a safe space where the client feels truly heard goes a long way. With the wrap around support of the medical staff at Winterberry, treatment plans can be tailored to each individuals needs and they can receive a number of different supports that help with mental health. If outside referrals are needed, the team works together to expedite this.

QUESTION: How does an adult know when to book an appointment based on concerns around mental health? Can you share some warning signs that additional support is needed?

KELLY: If people are feeling overwhelmed by their daily lives, this can be a good reason to reach out for mental health counselling.
