BridgeMed Health
About BridgeMed Health

Canadian-owned, psychiatrist-led integrated mental health care for workplace disability.

We were founded on the belief that complex mental health disability cases respond best to coordinated, function-focused care led by a physician. Since June 2023, 595+ plan members have been referred to BridgeMed Health, with 86% achieving return to work or off-benefits outcomes.

We serve plan members across Canada and work with insurance carriers, group benefit providers, and employers. We deliver care in English and French via a secure telemedicine platform.

Our Mission

Bridge the gap between mental health disability and sustainable return to work.

Our clinicians identify preserved abilities and plan accommodations for residual limitations. Our therapists use CBT, ACT, DBT, and Behavioural Activation with return to work as a goal from session one.
