About CCNM IHC

Philosophy and history

Located at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, the CCNM Integrated Healthcare Centre (CCNM IHC) is a private professional clinic featuring a variety of health-care providers operating their private practices.

What began as an initiative with current faculty to provide space to treat private patients and expand their clinical experience provided us a wonderful opportunity to build a truly integrative approach to health care within our current facilities. The end result is CCNM IHC which has broadened CCNM’s clinical services to allow patients to see a variety of single health-care providers in one location.

While CCNM continues to focus on naturopathic medicine, CCNM IHC is designed to attract other professionals such as massage therapists, chiropractors, counselors and other medical professionals, in order to create a truly integrated health-care experience for patients and practitioners alike.

Professional Services

Professional Services which we offer include practitioners who practice:
    Naturopathic Medicine
    Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary health care that addresses the root cause of illness or disease. Promoting wellness and prevention, naturopathic medicine harnesses science to unleash nature’s healing power. It uses natural techniques and therapies to diagnose and treat both acute and chronic conditions.

    Naturopathic medicine plays an important role in integrative health care. Therapies can be used on their own or in conjunction with conventional medical treatments.

    Psychotherapy
    Psychotherapy is a process focused on helping you heal and learn more constructive ways to deal with the problems or issues within your life. It can also be a supportive process when going through a difficult period or under increased stress, such as starting a new career or going through a divorce. Generally psychotherapy is recommended whenever a person is grappling with a life, relationship or work issue or a specific mental health concern, and these issues or concerns are causing the individual a great deal of pain or upset for longer than a few days.
