Steph Paolucci
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, Registered Yoga Teacher
Having a baby is a life-changing event, and though it is associated with a happy life event, it can be highly stressful, affecting one's mood tremendously. Postpartum depression occurs after someone gives birth and does not necessarily only affect the birthing person. It consists of feelings of extreme sadness and despair. One thing to note is that you're not alone in this! It is a mood disorder that affects up to 15% of the population. The good news is that through support and the development of coping strategies, such as mindfulness and relaxation, depression can be beaten! I can help you process your experience and alleviate any pain you may be feeling. Through growing understanding and awareness of self, I can help you take back control of your life and feel better on a holistic basis.

LifeCycle Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, MPE, RP
Perinatal mood disorders may also be referred to as Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD). Perinatal mood disorders are related to mood symptoms that occur during pregnancy or up to one year postpartum. The most common types of mood disorders are depression, dysthymia, anxiety, and postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder. There can also be Bipolar Disorder, Postpartum Psychosis, or substance-induced mood disorders that may appear.
Forms of psychotherapy that have been found to be helpful and effective in helping treat perinatal mood disorders include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and other forms of supportive psychotherapy. These forms of therapy can help focus on emotions and thought patterns, but also behavioral aspects. These approaches can help increase and rediscover the bond between parent and child, and also between partners.
Book an appointment today! Perinatal mood disorders can cause avoidance behaviors, create harmful thought and behavioral cycles and negatively impact your mental health.

Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Although it is normal to have what is colloquially known as the “baby blues” following the birth of a child, this tends to naturally go away not too long after. PPD can start during the pregnancy to one year after the birth of a child, where the sufferer will show the typical effects of depression which affects their mood; the way they feel about themselves, how they relate to others, and how they interact with the rest of the world. Ultimately, PPD affects people from many different walks of life, regardless of the ease or difficulty of the pregnancy, whether they are a first-time parent or have other children, whether they are married or not, and regardless of socioeconomic status, education, and cultural background.

Postpartum depression or anxiety is marked by feelings of sadness or agitation that last longer than two weeks. It can also look like difficulty sleeping despite being tired, or sleeping a lot but not feeling rested. If this is something you need help with we will discuss your thoughts and feelings and I'll help you find ways to fit coping strategies like exercising, eating well and rest into your busy life with a newborn. We can discuss ways to deal with difficult situations so that you feel better and more in control.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America outside of East Asia, with a majority Chinese population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, Apple, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
