Hello!
Meet Dr. Tia Patychuk, a naturopathic doctor here at LUV Healing.
As a Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Tia aims to make my patients feel supported and empowered to improve their health no matter what step they are at. She is trauma-informed and evidence-based, using both her medical education and the principles of naturopathic medicine like treating the root cause of illness, removing obstacles or barriers to your healing to offer holistic healing and aligning the mind and the body together.
Dr. Tia's goal as a doctor is to create a space that is collaborative, educational, empathetic, and judgment-free.
Dr. Tia is most passionate about seeing and helping patients who are struggling with: -PCOS and other hormonal conditions -ADHD and associated conditions -Mental health conditions -Nutritional deficiencies -Insomnia and sleep problems -Burnout and overwhelm
As someone who is neurodiverse (she was diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood), Dr. Tia understands how difficult it can be to function in a world that wasn’t built for brains that work differently.
Working with neurodiversity, mental health, and trauma, Dr. Tia feels it’s important to meet you where you are at to create healthy changes that feel not only doable for you now but also sustainable in the long term. She uses elements of both Western medicine (pharmaceuticals, lab testing, and IV therapy) and herbal medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, nutrition, and counselling to provide personalized care that suits you and your unique needs.
Another area of passion for Dr. Tia is health care for LGBTQIA2S+ and gender-diverse communities. Dr. Tia strongly believe everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and comfortable to discuss all aspects of their health in a judgment-free space. She will always support human rights and work to be as inclusive as possible for BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, sex workers, disabled people, and other oppressed minorities as well as continue to learn and confront her own biases.
