Psychotherapy to support clients through fertility challenges, loss, pregnancy, and postpartum, and the early years of parenting

Who we are

We are a team of well-trained and experienced mental health professionals including registered psychologists, registered social workers, and registered psychotherapists. In addition to our training in general mental health, each therapist has specific passion, training, and experience in perinatal mental. We focus on supporting clients though trying to conceive, coping with loss (including miscarriage, stillbirth, and termination for medical reasons) pregnancy mental health, postpartum mental health, and the early years of parenting.

What we do

We help with a range of perinatal and general mental health issues. We are trained in a number of different evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) , Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and more.

It can be overwhelming to figure out which therapist to work with. We suggest contacting us with some info about what you are looking for, and we will be happy to recommend which therapists may be the best fit. Looking through therapist bios is another great way to narrow down who may be most appropriate to best help.
