Postpartum Depression
EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
The symptoms of postpartum depression highlight the complex relationship between the emotional scars from the past and the difficulties of becoming a new mother. Motherhood, with its roots in the intricate mechanics of attachment, can intensify the effects of previous traumas by bringing on emotions of inadequacy, overwhelm, and loneliness. Like a shadow cast over the joy of childbirth, postpartum depression envelops mothers in a fog of sadness and despair, echoing the unmet emotional needs and the scars of past hurts. Therapy becomes a lifeline amidst the turbulence, offering a space to navigate the complexities of motherhood, process the echoes of past traumas, and cultivate resilience in the face of profound change. By nurturing compassionate connections and fostering self-compassion, mothers can navigate the terrain of postpartum depression with greater grace, finding solace in shared humanity and forging a path towards healing and renewed maternal bonds.

Elena Serra
Therapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist (RP-Q)
Pregnancy, delivery, and new parenthood can be traumatic. Postpartum depression is when baby blues don't seem to go away after a few weeks. This is understandable - you are undergoing enormous changes to your body, identity, career, family dynamics, and routine. I would like to work with you to find fulfillment and peace in your new chapter.

After giving birth everything changes, again! We may be saying goodbye to our childless life or struggling to adapt to a bigger family-life. There can be a lot of grief to process, heightened emotions, shame, guilt and helplessness that often accompany these times. I will provide you a safe and comforting space where you can process any grief and emotions and work with you to recover and start your new family chapter in a fulfilling way.
