Reproductive & Perinatal Therapy
Glow Mental Health offers prenatal and postpartum therapy in Kitchener-Waterloo, as well as virtual perinatal therapy across Ontario. Whether you are navigating pregnancy, adjusting to new parenthood, or processing a challenging birth experience, therapy can help you feel supported, grounded, and less alone.
Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period can be some of the most emotionally intense transitions in a person’s life. While these stages are often portrayed as joyful, they can also bring anxiety, grief, identity shifts, relationship changes, and deep vulnerability. At Glow Mental Health, perinatal therapy is a space where all of those experiences are welcome.
This work is deeply meaningful to me. As a therapist who has also experienced pregnancy and the postpartum period, I approach perinatal therapy with both professional care and a genuine understanding of how tender, complex, and transformative this chapter of life can be. My role is not to lead you with assumptions, but to walk alongside you with steadiness, compassion, and respect for your unique experience.
In addition to pregnancy and postpartum support, we offer counselling for individuals and couples who are:
Trying to conceive (TTC)
Going through fertility treatments or IVF
Coping with pregnancy loss or miscarriage
Experiencing complicated emotions around infertility
Struggling with anxiety, grief, or uncertainty related to reproductive journeys
Perinatal mental health is not just about treating symptoms. It’s about supporting you through one of the most transformative seasons of life. Therapy can help you:
Manage prenatal and postpartum anxiety or depression
Process birth trauma or medical trauma (We specialize in EMDR for birth/medical trauma)
Navigate identity changes and role transitions
Strengthen your relationship with your partner
Develop emotional resilience and self-compassion
Create a sense of safety and stability during uncertainty
Many people feel pressure to “be grateful” or “stay positive” during this time. In therapy, you don’t have to perform strength. You are allowed to be honest, overwhelmed, hopeful, scared, and everything in between.
Our approach is trauma-informed, gentle, and deeply respectful of your story. We recognize that pregnancy and parenthood can activate past experiences, attachment wounds, and nervous system responses. Sessions are paced carefully, with attention to emotional safety, regulation, and support.
Perinatal therapy is for you if:
You feel anxious or disconnected during pregnancy
You’re struggling after birth and don’t feel like yourself
You’re grieving a loss or unmet expectations
Fertility challenges are taking an emotional toll
You want support that honors both your emotional and physical experiences
You deserve care that sees the whole of you, not just the stage you’re in.
Whether you are early in your fertility journey, pregnant, newly postpartum, or years into parenthood still carrying unprocessed experiences, support is available. Glow Mental Health is here to walk alongside you with compassion, clarity, and steadiness.
