Our Mission
ABOUT BLOOM
Who We Are
Bloom Institute of Mental Health & Wellness was founded on a simple but urgent belief that Calgarians deserve access to physician-led, evidence-informed care that goes deeper than a standard appointment can offer. We are here to bridge the gap between emerging research and accessible, integrated treatment across mental health, metabolic health, and hormone health.
Bloom was co-founded by Dr. Griselle Leon and Maria Wu, united by a shared commitment to expanding what health care in Calgary can look like. Dr. Leon brings her background as a family physician with deep interests in mental health, women's health, and preventive medicine. Our clinical vision is further shaped by Dr. Keith Courtney, a psychiatrist with extensive training and experience, whose expertise guides our psychedelic-assisted therapy program. Together, our team is committed to building a clinic that holds both rigorous clinical standards and genuine human warmth.
At Bloom, we believe the pillars of health are interconnected. Mental well-being cannot be separated from metabolic function, hormonal balance, and the quality of care someone receives. This is why we've built a clinic that addresses all of these under one roof.
For those for whom conventional mental health care has not been enough, we also offer psychedelic-assisted therapy within a regulated, physician-supervised framework in Alberta. Our program is grounded in emerging evidence and delivered with the clinical oversight, preparation, and integration this work requires.
Many of our services are multidisciplinary by design, supported by a team of physicians, therapists, and allied health professionals who believe that healing is relational. Where it serves you, that team works together.
We are building a new standard for specialty care in Calgary, focused on the foundational pillars of health: mental, metabolic, and hormonal well-being. Better care is possible and building Bloom Institute is our answer to that.
This is only the beginning.
