Outside of work she prioritizes spending time with her partner, friends and family; as well as staying active and spending time outdoors, enjoying work outs at the gym, pilates, biking, skiing and hiking.

Dr. Morgan Marcoux is a psychiatrist specializing in work‑focused assessment, early RTW planning, and performance‑oriented care. He delivers decision‑ready reports and coordinates tightly with Pure's multidisciplinary team to translate recommendations into results. Clinically, he focuses on mental performance, resilience, and sleep/recovery, drawing on experience with elite sport, including the Winnipeg Jets and Project 11. Patients can expect compassionate, practical care; employers can expect clear guidance that supports safe, sustainable return to work.

Mental Performance

Dr. Marcoux strongly believes in the importance of assessing our mental operations as it directly impacts how we think, feel, and act. It's not just about being "smart" or having high cognitive abilities; it's about how effectively we can focus, make decisions, manage stress, stay motivated, and adapt to challenges. Ultimately, mental performance isn't just about individual achievement—it's also about being able to contribute to your community, team, and relationships in a meaningful way. When we prioritize and nurture our mental performance, we can handle life’s challenges more effectively, improve our relationships, and enhance our overall sense of fulfillment.

Sleep

As sleep is one of the most powerful regulators of psychological health, Dr. Marcoux pursued additional training in sleep interventions and has particular interest in helping improve individuals' quality of sleep, restoration and wakefulness. Dr. Marcoux is able to offer comprehensive sleep assessments and tailored sleep interventions to those who suffer from sleep disruption/fatigue related to their medical condition(s).
