My name is Chelsea Smyth and I am the founder of Village Therapy. The pressure and expectations on mothers are at an all-time high, yet the traditional support system of the village no longer exists. I founded Village Therapy to help women navigate motherhood and to help them in building their village, so that they can shift from surviving to thriving. Whether you are pregnant, postpartum, or have experienced infertility or pregnancy loss, I want to help you on your journey to feeling well again. Village Therapy makes accessing counselling easy, by offering all of our sessions by telephone or live video chat.

Whether the issue is infertility , addiction, relationship or family problems we will work through it together.
Life can be challenging and although we may be able to cope with the majority of difficulties that come our way sometimes an issue arises that feels too difficult to manage on our own. This may be a problem within ourselves, our relationships or a situation which is seemingly beyond our control. Let me support you in tapping into your natural strengths and resiliency to overcome the problem that is facing you today. We can work together to find the solution that will work the best for you.

With a specialization in clinical sex therapy and sex addiction, I work with people on challenges surrounding sexual intimacy, increasing sexual desire and function, sexual compulsivity, exploring sexual lifestyles, infertility support, and gender identity.
In relationships when great sex (or any intimacy at all) is a distant memory, communication becomes stuck, and a feeling of closeness is longed for again, these become signs that a different approach is needed to end the frustration and renew aliveness. The desire for intimacy, to feel connected, and to matter are key aspects of who we are as human beings.

In particular, I'm drawn to helping those experiencing infertility or pregnancy loss.
It can be really hard to prioritize yourself, especially if you are a parent or caregiver. Caregivers need care, too, but many things can get in the way of this: lack of supports (systemic and personal), an individualistic culture, guilt and shame, lack of modelling (i.e. "how do I even do that?"), unresolved trauma & attachment issues, burnout & time poverty. I use traditional talk therapy and Sensorimotor (body-focused) Psychotherapy, Art Therapy & EMDR to help you slow down and attend to yourself. I believe that a joyful, creative life where you honour your own needs and deeply care for others at the same time is possible.

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist currently taking new clients. Therapy is a collaborative process that focuses on healing and increasing mental wellness. Change your unwanted behaviours into tools that will help you heal using cognitive behavioural therapy. Find your inner voice and express your experiences to those people around you with narrative therapy. For experiences that defy words, art therapy helps you to communicate those experiences, and to externalize your negative feelings and behaviours, so that you can explore and assess them safely.

I am a Registered Psychologist and love to work with people to clear away distress. We are always learning how to protect ourselves while making connections with others. Sometimes, what worked for us in the past is no longer helpful and we need to adjust. Our mind, heart, and body work together to try to bring healing and balance but it is easy to get stuck. The psychological sciences have made incredible strides into understanding how and why we achieve psychological health and wellness; I synthesize that information to bring practical therapeutic techniques to become healthy and happy again. I am a PaRx Prescriber.

I specialize in understanding the difficulties, stressors, and experiences involved in the perinatal and postpartum period of new parenthood. The process of fertility, loss, pregnancy and postpartum can be isolating. Those times also bring considerable physical, mental, and personal relationship changes, impacting every part of life. Navigating relationships, self-esteem, stress, burnout, depression, anxiety, and trauma is not unique to new parenthood. I also have a focus on young adults and professionals in the medical field, who frequently face intense and exhausting challenges

I specialize in Women's Mental Health and love working with moms. Stress and anxiety are at an all time high and moms are telling me they're exhausted and overwhelmed with the mental load. They've been isolated in navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy, the birth of children and post-partum. They're parenting with few supports and often have kids who are struggling too. They've had to deal with difficult dynamics at work and in their personal lives, are coping with a multitude of losses and are dealing with past or present traumas. Reach out if you can relate and we'll work together to help make life more manageable right now.

My passion in helping disconnected couples and families find their way back to each other. My work assists couples who seek that connection and experience of being seen, heard and deeply understood by their partner. I pay particular attention to those interactions where couples get stuck, and guide them to create more trust and safety in those moments where the "signals get scrambled'. My family therapy focus is informed by an attachment based, developmental approach. This is a parent coaching model that empowers parents/caregivers by grounding them in the science of attachment while providing "in the moment" strategies.

Infertility Counsellors

How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?

Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.

How does therapy for infertility issues work?

The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.

What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?

Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.

How long does therapy for infertility issues take?

There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
