Perinatal Therapy in Ontario (Virtual / Online Counselling for Pregnancy & Postpartum)

What Is Perinatal Therapy?

Perinatal therapy provides emotional and mental health support during pregnancy, postpartum, fertility challenges, birth recovery, and early parenthood. It’s a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your feelings, understand your experience, and get support that meets the unique demands of this season.

At Ivy Counselling and Wellness, we specialize in virtual perinatal counselling across Ontario, helping individuals navigate the emotional, hormonal, and identity shifts that often come with becoming a parent.

Who Perinatal Therapy Is For

You may benefit from perinatal or postpartum therapy if you’re experiencing:

  • Anxiety during pregnancy

  • Postpartum anxiety or intrusive thoughts

  • Overwhelm, burnout, or emotional exhaustion

  • Depression or low mood

  • Changes in identity or sense of self

  • Difficulty adjusting to new routines

  • Birth trauma or difficult delivery experience

  • Relationship strain during pregnancy or postpartum

  • Fear, guilt, or pressure to “do things right”

  • Challenges bonding with baby

  • Unexpected emotions you don’t feel comfortable sharing elsewhere

You don’t have to wait until things feel “bad enough.” Many people start virtual therapy simply for support, guidance, or reassurance during a major life change.
