Are you navigating the tender seasons of family building, pregnancy, postpartum, or early parenthood? You might feel overwhelmed, unlike yourself, or wonder if you’re experiencing postpartum anxiety or depression.

As your therapist, I provide a genuine, compassion…
Tania Renaud Fournier

Choosing the right person to accompany us in a personal development process is not always easy, let’s face it. It’s a strange relationship, requiring you to be vulnerable with someone you don’t know.

Stephanie Myles
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Most of us will encounter a difficulty at some point in our lives that we cannot overcome alone. It may come as a sudden, life changing event that transforms the way we see our lives into a Before and After. In any case, we all endure some type of pain from which we must heal. Healing does not always mean going back to what we were; rather, it can involve becoming something new.

I appreciate you taking the step towards looking after yourself. It takes immense courage whether you are seeking support for the first time or returning to therapy.
