Ryta Marie Peschka
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Parenting therapy can provide a supportive space to develop approaches that work for your child(ren) and family. It can be a space for parents and caregivers to explore the expectations they hold for themselves and their children, and to further question whether these ideals limit or serve them. By developing insight into your child’s needs and your own capacities, you can learn to respond to challenges with parenting approaches grounded in authenticity and connection.

Maor Bernshtein, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Being a dad can bring joy, while new responsibilities, identity shifts, and expectations may also feel overwhelming. Many fathers experience stress, anxiety, exhaustion, relationship strain, or uncertainty about how to support their child’s development. Parenting therapy can help you understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, express your needs more clearly, and feel more confident in your role as a parent. With support, fatherhood can bring stronger relationships, greater self-awareness, and a healthier home environment for you, your partner, and your children.

Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I support parents by exploring how their own early experiences, attachment patterns, and unconscious expectations may shape their parenting. Through a psychodynamic lens, we look beneath behavior to understand emotional triggers, inherited beliefs, and the internal pressures of caregiving. Our work creates space for greater self-compassion, attunement, and the capacity to parent with intention rather than reactivity.
