Postpartum Counselling

Becoming a new parent or adding another child to your family is one of the most rewarding yet challenging life transitions. After the arrival of your baby, many women experience shifts in their relationships, changes in their sense of identity, and sometimes, feelings of isolation or the realization that motherhood isn't what they expected.

 

Postpartum counselling provides support and guidance as you navigate the many changes that come with expanding your family. With the help of a skilled therapist, you can explore your emotional needs, improve your mood and coping strategies, address feelings of guilt and shame, and strengthen your relationships. Most importantly, you’ll be supported in growing into your new role as a parent in a way that feels authentic and comfortable to you.

It’s important to note that many new parents—about 1 in 7 women and 1 in 10 men—will experience a postpartum mood or anxiety disorder within the first year after birth. While many parents recognize that something isn’t quite right, the symptoms of postpartum depression or anxiety can leave them feeling confused, ashamed, and isolated.
