Perinatal Support
No one told you how hard it would be. You thought becoming a parent would be beautiful, and it is, but it doesn’t always feel that way. The ways it can be hard are many, and can include infertility, pregnancy loss, health concerns, challenges with labour and delivery, difficulties adjusting to parenthood, perinatal mental health difficulties such as postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety, and struggles figuring out how to balance it all and be the parent you want to be. There are so many changes and so much pressure, it’s no wonder so many new parents struggle. In our sessions we’ll work together to find ways to cope with the hard parts and strengthen the good parts on your perinatal journey.
Parenting Support
Being a parent is such a difficult job. As a mom of two, I have first-hand experience with both the highs and the lows of parenting. While we know there is no manual, we often still seek out information in hopes that we will find the answers. The abundance of information that can so easily be accessed online often leaves us feeling even more confused and overwhelmed than when we started. Parenting is hard because we are all unique, and no one way of experiencing parenting is right. Parent support involves sessions with one or both parents to determine the goals, what might be getting in the way of achieving these goals, and finding a path that feels like a fit for you and your family. All plans build on your strengths, skills, values, and hopes, and are tailored to your unique family needs.
Anxiety, Depression, and Stress Support
It is normal to feel overwhelmed at times. We live in a fast-paced, stressful world, and sometimes the stress becomes too much. We can find ourselves becoming increasingly anxious or depressed. If you are feeling overwhelmed with the challenges you are experiencing, it may help to engage in individual counselling to explore the problem and to develop a plan to cope and move forward. Depending on the complexity of the problem and your hopes and goals, counselling can be completed in a few sessions, or may be a longer journey.
