Postpartum & Perinatal Therapy

Online support for new and expecting parents across Ontario.

Becoming a parent is a huge change, and it doesn't always feel the way people said it would. Many parents quietly struggle during pregnancy or in the months after birth. You might notice:

  • Constant worry about the baby, or racing thoughts you can't switch off
  • Feeling low, flat, tearful or disconnected
  • Irritability or anger that doesn't feel like you
  • Trouble sleeping even when you get the chance
  • Feeling overwhelmed, guilty or like you're not doing it right
  • Strain in your relationship as roles shift

You don't need a diagnosis or a crisis to reach out. If something feels off, that's reason enough to talk.

How we help

We offer a warm, judgement-free space to sort through what you're feeling and find steadier ground. Sessions are tailored to you and draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness and solution-focused approaches. Together we can work on:

  • Calming anxious thoughts and the urge to check, plan or control
  • Lifting low mood and reconnecting with yourself
  • Processing a difficult pregnancy or birth experience
  • Adjusting to your new identity and routines
  • Communicating with your partner about the changes at home
  • Practical coping tools you can use in the middle of a hard day

Therapy that fits around a newborn

Getting to an office with a baby (or while pregnant and exhausted) is hard. Our sessions are fully virtual, so you can join from home anywhere in Ontario: no commute, parking or childcare to arrange, on a secure, private video platform, scheduled around feeds and naps.

Common questions

Is this only for after the baby arrives?
No. We support people during pregnancy as well as after birth.

Can my partner join a session?
Partners are welcome, and we also offer couples therapy if things at home feel strained.

What does the free consult involve?
A 15-minute call to talk about what's going on and whether we're a good fit. No obligation.

Is virtual therapy as effective as in person?
For many people, yes, and it removes the barriers of travel and childcare that make in-person care hard with a new baby.

How much does it cost?
See our Services & Fees page.

When you're ready, we're here. Book a free 15-minute consultation.
