Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
Everyone told you this would be the happiest time of your life, which makes the sadness, rage, numbness, or frightening thoughts feel impossible to say out loud. You're not failing, and you're not alone: what you're experiencing is common, treatable, and nothing to be ashamed of. Here you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space to tell the truth about how motherhood actually feels, tend to your own needs without guilt, and find your footing. The goal isn't just to get through the day, it's to genuinely reconnect with yourself, build support that sustains you, and make room for both the hard and the tender parts of this season. Together we'll work toward feeling more grounded, more supported, and more connected to yourself and your baby.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected since giving birth? Many new parents struggle with sadness, anxiety, or emptiness in ways that can feel confusing or isolating, especially when society tells us we “should” feel joy. You may find yourself carrying heavy emotions while trying to care for your baby and yourself.
These feelings are not a sign of failure—they are natural responses to the intense changes and demands of parenthood. What matters is how you respond when these emotions arise. Together, we can explore your experiences, support your emotional well-being, and help you find ways to feel more grounded, connected, and lighter over time. You are feeling this for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

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.

Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
The postpartum period is a delicate time. The reality of parenthood is oftentimes different from what we tend to see in media and many parents face challenges with anxiety and depression shortly after the arrival of their baby. During this time, therapy can provide you with a safe space where you can learn that what you are experiencing is valid and that you are not alone in the struggles you are facing. As a therapist, I will you meet you with compassion, check in with you often, help you to process what you are feeling, and support you in developing tools to feel more empowered and confident in this new chapter. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

Clare Pentelow
Therapist, MSW, RSW
The transition into parenthood is one of the most significant identity shifts a person can experience. When that transition is marked by the heavy fog of postpartum depression, it can feel incredibly isolating. You might struggle with a sense of hopelessness, a loss of your "former self," or deep guilt that you aren’t feeling the "instant joy" society expects. In our sessions, we create a gentle, non-judgmental space to unpack the profound impact this season has had on your mental health and your sense of self.
Using an IFS (Internal Family Systems) lens, we’ll get to know the parts of you that feel overwhelmed, resentful, or "numb" as a way of coping with the immense pressure of new parenthood. By weaving in psychodynamic and relational insights, we explore how your own history of being cared for might be surfacing in this new chapter. My goal is to help you move toward radical self-compassion, unburdening the "perfect parent" expectations and helping you reconnect with your own vitality and your baby in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
