Solasta Counselling
Psychologist
Postpartum depression and anxiety are more common than many people realize, and they are not a reflection of how much you love your child. We offer therapy that supports new and expecting parents with compassion, practical tools, and a deep understanding of the emotional shifts that come with this major life change. You deserve care too.

Parenting is hard at the best of times, but can be even more difficult when welcoming a child is not going as you had hoped or expected. Post partum depression is challenging but we will work together to support you through this time and get through the 'fog' of depression and back to being the parent and person you want to be.

Angela Popovici
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, B.Sc Psych, MACP
I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for new parents navigating postpartum depression and the emotional challenges of the perinatal period. I understand that this time can feel overwhelming, isolating, and filled with self-doubt, and believes that support, understanding, and practical strategies are key to healing.
Using an integrative approach I help clients explore and process difficult emotions, identify coping strategies, and build confidence in their parenting and personal well-being. My approach emphasizes self-compassion, validation, and gradual, achievable steps toward emotional balance.
I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment to navigate postpartum challenges, regain energy and perspective, and foster a stronger sense of connection and resilience—one caring step at a time.

Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
When working with clients experiencing postpartum depression, I offer a compassionate, supportive space to process the complex emotions that often accompany this period — from sadness, guilt, and overwhelm to loss of identity and connection. Together, we work to reduce shame, rebuild a sense of self, and strengthen both emotional and practical supports. My approach integrates gentle exploration, psychoeducation, and evidence-based strategies to help clients regulate mood, restore balance, and reconnect with themselves and their baby. Above all, my goal is to ensure they feel seen, understood, and not alone in their healing.
