Pediatric Nurse Practitioner
Pediatric Nurse Practitioner
A Pediatric Nurse Practitioner plays a vital role in the healthcare of children, combining clinical expertise with a holistic approach that includes counseling. Pediatric Nurse Practitioners are currently available at our Coach Hill, SW clinic.
Role of Pediatric Nurse Practitioner
As healthcare providers, pediatric nurse practitioners are specially trained to cater to the unique physical, emotional, and developmental needs of children and their families. Their role as counselors is an integral part of this comprehensive care, emphasizing the importance of mental and emotional well-being in conjunction with physical health.
In their counseling capacity, pediatric nurse practitioners engage with children and adolescents to provide support and guidance on a variety of issues. They address common concerns such as anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, and developmental challenges. By creating a safe and trusting environment, they can encourage open communication, allowing young patients to express their feelings and concerns without fear of judgment.
Common Services Offered by Our Pediatric Nurse Practitioners
Mental Health Assessment
A key aspect of a pediatric nurse practitioner's counseling role involves assessing the mental health of their patients. This includes conducting thorough evaluations that encompass developmental screenings, behavioral assessments, and psychosocial evaluations. Through these assessments, therapists can identify any underlying issues that may be affecting a child’s well-being, and tailor interventions accordingly. When appropriate, pediatric nurse practitioners are able to prescribe medications for children and adolescents.
Education
Education is another crucial component of a pediatric nurse practitioner's counseling role. They often provide parents and caregivers with valuable information about child development, effective parenting strategies, and ways to manage specific health conditions. They empower families by equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to support their child’s emotional and mental health. This may involve teaching coping strategies for dealing with stress, anxiety, or other emotional challenges, as well as guidance on fostering resilience and self-esteem in children.
Counseling
The counseling aspect of a pediatric nurse practitioner’s role extends to working with children who have chronic health conditions or disabilities. These children often face unique challenges that can impact their mental health, and nurse practitioners can provide vital support to help them cope with these challenges. They may offer strategies to manage the emotional and psychological impacts of living with a chronic illness, fostering a sense of empowerment and normalcy in their lives.
Well-being of Children
Pediatric Nurse Practitioners are dedicated to promoting the overall well-being of children. By addressing emotional health, they help children thrive in all aspects of their lives. Their ability to connect with young patients and their families, combined with their clinical expertise, makes them invaluable members of the pediatric healthcare team. Through their counseling efforts, pediatric nurse practitioners not only treat health issues but also nurture resilience, confidence, and a positive outlook on life, laying the foundation for healthier futures for their young patients.

I’ve never been to a chiropractor before but have been experiencing some pretty bad back pain and overall stiffness that finally led me to make an appointment. Dr. Emily Cugnet-Huber is kind, welcoming, professional, and SO knowledgeable. In our initial appointment she gave me such a detailed overview of a treatment plan we would focus on and was incredibly thorough in her consult. I can confidently say that Dr. Emily is someone I can absolutely trust with my care. Looking forward to my next visit!

I’ve been to a handful of chiropractors in Calgary and Dr. Yasemeen is definitely one of the best! Her approach to work on an inquiry to resolve it long term vs a quick adjustment goes a long way. Can’t recommend her enough.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Dr.Josh Luk for my neck and back pain.
Because of my job, I humped my back all day long. I had pain from the neck to the lower back for a long time. I was not sure it could be fixed or feel better until I saw Dr.Josh. He was professional, informative, and considerate. The treatment he gave me reduced my pain so much and made me feel lighter from the pain. To see Dr. Josh was the best thing I did this year! I highly recommend Dr. Josh if you are looking for a great chiropractor!

FAQs on Pediatric Nurse Practitioners
No, you don’t need a referral. However, some insurance companies do require one to reimburse you for services, so double check with your provider about what you need.
EMDR is one of the many approaches that our therapists use, but that does not mean that it is the best approach for you. During each session, the therapist and the individual will assess the plan of action to best fit your needs and goals.
Everybody is different, meaning that some people will benefit from having several sessions close together and others will benefit more from having more time between sessions. The more qualified person to ask is your therapist at your initial session or during an exploratory session. Together, you will be able to determine what best fits your needs.
Each session is 50 minutes long.
You can expect a discussion about your needs and goals followed by a thorough history taking led by your psychologist. Depending on how long the history intake lasts, treatment might not happen until your second session. As excited as we are to start treatment as quickly as possible, it is important to remember that this history taking is a key part of psychological treatments.
We do not offer couple’s counseling at this time.
