Specialized Support For Moms
wanting-to-be, soon-to-be or new moms
The transition into becoming a parent can be exciting. Still, it can also be overwhelming, filled with grief, and nerve-wracking, which may lead you to feel alone, exhausted and isolated, often processing incredibly challenging feelings. We want to help you develop strategies you can use to cope with these changes, build resilience, and heal.
What To Expect
We provide a wide range of counselling services to treat life’s challenges that may impact your mental health. We give a trauma-aware, safe place to work through these challenges in a mutually respectful environment because when we feel well, we do well for ourselves and the world around us.
Coming from Experience
We are moms; we have our own lived experience and sought therapy to find our way.
We are highly trained and specialized in Postpartum and trauma
We prioritize your mental wellbeing and offer a judgment free space.
What We Specalize With
As a mom, you put everyone else’s needs first. Here at Mind Shift Therapy, we prioritize you and your mental health.
You deserve care from someone who GETS it, and that’s us.

How do I pick the right therapist for me?Research tells us that the relationship between the client and the therapist is one of the most critical factors impacting the change process. So, when you choose someone to begin this kind of work with, it is best to go with what feels right to you. We offer no-cost consultations (15 minutes by phone) to see if we are a good fit for you.
-
Is therapy right for me?There are many reasons why people reach out for therapy. Sometimes, it deals with long-standing psychological issues, trauma, relationship issues or symptoms of anxiety or depression. Other times, it is in response to changes in one’s life, such as family planning, childbirth, traumatic experiences, divorce or work transition. Working alongside a therapist can help provide insight, support, and new strategies for all life challenges. Therapy suits anyone interested in healing, feeling better, creating greater self-awareness, and working toward change.
-
How long do I need to be in therapy?How long you will be in therapy depends on your needs. The research suggests that most therapy clients feel improvement in 12 – 15 sessions. Some clients feel better enough that they graduate within that time. Others enjoy therapy and want to continue as their lives change and evolve. Our goal is to help you meet your goals as soon as possible. As long as counselling continues to be helpful, we’ll support you.
-
What can I expect from my first session?In your first session, we will begin by reviewing some policies and procedures. Then, we will discuss the issues that have brought you to therapy. We will listen and ask questions to gain a preliminary understanding of your concerns and your goals. If possible, by the end of the first session, we will have developed a plan to support you best as we move towards your goals.
