About our approach
Perinatal mental health support in Edmonton
The perinatal period — from pregnancy through the first year after birth — is one of the most emotionally complex seasons of a woman's life. In Alberta, as many as 1 in 5 new mothers experience postpartum depression or anxiety, yet many women suffer in silence, unsure where to turn or whether what they're feeling is "normal."
Our counselling is designed specifically for this season. Whether you're navigating prenatal anxiety, struggling with postpartum depression, processing a difficult birth, or simply feeling overwhelmed by new parenthood, we provide compassionate, evidence-informed support tailored to your experience. Virtual sessions are available across Alberta, so geography is never a barrier to getting help.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is prenatal and postpartum counselling?
+
Prenatal and postpartum counselling is specialized mental health support for women and families during pregnancy and the period after birth. It addresses emotional challenges such as anxiety, depression, birth trauma, identity shifts, and relationship changes. In Edmonton and across Alberta, it is available both in-person and virtually.
Do you offer postpartum depression counselling in Edmonton?
+
Yes. We provide counselling specifically for postpartum depression (PPD) and postpartum anxiety for mothers in Edmonton and throughout Alberta. Sessions are available virtually, so you can access support from home — which is especially helpful in those early weeks with a newborn.
When should I start prenatal or postpartum counselling?
+
There is no wrong time. Some women begin during pregnancy to prepare emotionally, while others seek help weeks or months after birth. Postpartum depression and anxiety can emerge at any point in the first year — and sometimes beyond. It is never too late to reach out for support.
Is online perinatal counselling available across Alberta?

Can my partner join postpartum counselling sessions?
+
Yes — couples and family sessions are available. The transition to parenthood affects the whole family unit, and involving a partner can be a meaningful part of the healing and adjustment process.
Is what I share in counselling kept confidential?
+
Absolutely. Everything shared in sessions is strictly confidential, in accordance with professional and legal standards in Alberta. Exceptions are limited to situations involving serious risk of harm, which will always be discussed openly with you.
