Get to know the people who may support your care

Primary sleep clinician
Dr. Chris de Feijter

Dr. Manuel James
DNP
Associate · Nurse Practitioner
Medical expertise within the wider STG Health team. Any medical involvement depends on the clinical question and available service arrangements; it is not automatically included in psychotherapy.

A clear, collaborative approach
Living with insomnia can mean working hard at something that appears effortless for others. Sleep can become linked with worry, frustration or pressure, while daily demands and health concerns make a consistent plan difficult to sustain.
We begin by understanding your sleep pattern and its effect on your life. Rather than assuming one cause or one solution, we consider appropriate sleep methods alongside relevant stress, mental-health and medical factors.
- Understand what may be contributing to your sleep difficulties
- Decide together what to work on and how
- Adapt strategies to work, parenting, school and other demands
- Review what is helping and adjust the plan when things are difficult
- Discuss other care when you need additional support
What this means in an appointment
Sessions are structured and practical. You may review your sleep diary, discuss a difficult week, work on sleep-related worry or plan a manageable change. Between-session resources reinforce the agreed plan.
You should know which professional is responsible for your care, what the service includes and how it fits with any existing providers. Ask about qualifications, funding eligibility, privacy or the boundaries of a particular service before proceeding.
Questions about your care team
Who will I see?
The clinic discusses the appropriate clinician and service based on your needs and availability. The team listing does not mean every professional is involved in every case.
Is medical care included in psychotherapy?
Not automatically. Psychotherapy and medical services have different scopes. When a medical question arises, discuss whether your existing provider or another suitable service should be involved.
Can you work alongside my current providers?
Where appropriate, care can be coordinated with your existing providers. Discuss consent and the information to be shared with your clinician.
Do you offer broader ADHD care?
For adult ADHD services beyond sleep, visit SaskADHD, another STG Health service.
You do not have to work out the next step alone.
Tell us what sleep has been like for you. We’ll review your concerns and help you understand which kind of support may be helpful.
