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.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you are experiencing postpartum depression, you may feel sadness, irritability, anxiety, or emotional numbness during a season that others expect to be joyful. You might feel disconnected from your baby, overwhelmed by responsibility, or ashamed that you are not feeling the way you thought you would. Exhaustion, hormonal changes, and the pressure to “hold it together” can intensify what you are already carrying.
At Selah Counselling, we approach postpartum depression with compassion and clinical care. This is not a failure as a mother. It is a treatable condition influenced by biological, emotional, and relational factors. Together, we focus on stabilizing your nervous system, restoring sleep rhythm and daily structure where possible, and gently processing the emotional weight of this transition. When needed, we collaborate with medical providers to ensure comprehensive support. Our goal is to help you regain steadiness, strengthen bonding, and experience this season with greater confidence and hope.

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.
