Do you offer postpartum therapy in Thornhill?

Yes, we provide specialized postpartum therapy and perinatal counselling in Thornhill for new and expecting mothers. Our therapists support women navigating postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, and the identity shifts of new motherhood. We offer both in-person sessions at our Thornhill clinic and secure online therapy across Ontario.

What's the difference between postpartum therapy and general women's counselling?

Postpartum therapy specifically addresses the emotional, psychological, and identity challenges that arise during pregnancy and after childbirth, including postpartum anxiety, postpartum depression, and matrescence (the transition to motherhood). General women's counselling covers a broader range of concerns including anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, and identity exploration.

Do you offer virtual postpartum counselling sessions?

Yes, we offer both in-person postpartum therapy at our Thornhill clinic and secure online therapy options for women throughout Thornhill, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and across Ontario. Virtual sessions provide flexibility and convenience, which can be especially helpful for new mothers, while maintaining the same quality of care.

How long does postpartum therapy typically take?

The duration varies based on your goals and needs. Some women find relief within 8-12 sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support, especially when addressing complex postpartum anxiety or depression. We'll work together to determine the best approach for your situation and adjust as needed.

Is postpartum therapy covered by insurance?

Many workplace benefits plans cover therapy sessions with Registered Social Workers and Registered Psychotherapists, including postpartum therapy and perinatal counselling. We provide detailed receipts for insurance claims. Contact your benefits provider to confirm your specific coverage.
