Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Edmonton, AB

Hello! My name is Cristina. My fascination with the human brain and my passion for helping people have led me to pursue my education and a career in the mental health field - and I love it! Over the years, I’ve gained invaluable experience working with children and adults with neurodevelopmental disorders including Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and intellectual disabilities. I specialize in the areas of trauma- and stressor- related disorders, anxiety disorders, and depressive disorders. I have recently pursued my passion for perinatal mental health to support those who are experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

Welcome! I'm a Registered Psychologist in Edmonton seeing children, teenagers, and adults across Alberta. I am experienced working with a variety of mental health concerns including trauma/Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, body-focused repetitive behaviors (including skin picking and hair pulling), self-harm, eating concerns, and behavioral issues. I am also passionate about perinatal mental health ( pregnancy and postpartum ), providing parenting support, and working with birth traumas. I am LGBTQIA2S+ allied.

I am passionate about the work that I do and feel that it is a privilege to be in this role. I believe in walking alongside my clients and respect that this is their journey and that they are the experts of their own lives. I feel that everyone is unique and thus my counselling approach flexes to meet your individual needs by blending techniques. I believe that it is essential to create a warm, inviting and engaging space for you. One that creates a sense of safety and security as you work through the challenges that brought you to me.

Perhaps you are hoping to gain greater clarity into your life, have a desire to be more compassionate with yourself, or need a moment to slow down and focus on your healing, growth, and transformation. I can help you get a clearer picture of what is going on, assist you in navigating life challenges, and facilitate the learning of new strategies to become more calm, confident, and resilient. I am a registered psychologist who genuinely cares about your well-being, is relatable and easy to talk to, and am passionate about working towards your goals. I create an atmosphere where clients feel safe, respected, and deeply understood.

I am here to listen and here to help you find the solutions you need to 'thrive', not just 'survive'. I value the creation of a comfortable, secure, 'worry-free' environment where people can feel safe in working through their problems without the fear of judgement or being forced to work through issues they are not ready to address yet. I provide assistance that is tailored to your needs, gathering comprehensive information about your difficulties and considering a wide range of treatment techniques. The choice of effective treatment arises out of an honest and open collaboration between you and me.

Being a mom is incredibly hard, dealing with postpartum mental health makes in a thousand times harder. Whether you've had had your first child, or your 5th, postpartum mental illness can occur. I am here to help you get back to enjoying being a mom. My role is to provide a safe, nonjudgemental space where you can explore ways to create positive life changes. I work with new parents, mood disorders and postpartum struggles. With over 20 years of experience working as a social worker in the area, I feel confident that I can provide support in your area of concern. Together we will discover the most powerful version of you!

I work with individuals, couples and groups who are impacted by grief, loss, depression, anxiety and trauma/PTSD. I strive to work collaboratively with individuals to uncover their strengths, express their feelings and work to adjust to challenging circumstances. I have additional training in reproductive mental health specializing in: infertility, IUI's, IVF, 3rd party reproduction consultations, and surrogacy. I also work with individuals that have experienced miscarriage , a baby born still, any medical trauma/any type of birth trauma, PPA/PPD and NICU experiences.

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist and have been supporting children, teens and adults in a few positions over 12 years. With this experience, I have grown a love of supporting clients that have experienced perinatal grief and mood disorders and parenting struggles/transitions, in addition to other concerns such as grief, relationship issues, and depression, anxiety and stress. My clients can expect empathy with a dose of practicality, humour and honesty. My passion is attachment-focused parenting. I understand that parenting is the most important/difficult job out there, it is my honour to help.

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.

Are you struggling with adjusting to parenthood? Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, worried, angry or depressed? You are not alone. Did you know that 1 in 5 mothers (including mothers who birthed, adopted or whose babies were born through surrogacy) and 1 in 10 non-birthing parents experience postpartum depression? This often negatively affects sleep, appetite, thoughts, mood and relationships. You can feel better! Together, we can work to identify the challenges you are experiencing and develop goals and strategies to improve your mental health.

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.

I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. I practice in Clinical/Counselling Psychology and am Co-Owner of YMM Collaborative Practice. My main area of practice and speciality is perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, maternal and parental mental health concerns, reproductive mental health and sex therapy.

Motherhood can be both exhausting & magical. Sometimes it is portrayed in a way on social media that looks vastly different from your reality. Are you feeling overwhelmed with worry & "what-if" questions in pregnancy ? Do you need to process your birth experience? Are you struggling to feel like yourself in postpartum ? Do you feel like your relationship has changed since becoming a parent? Are you burnout from the many demands of motherhood? I support women in every stage of parenthood from fertility, loss, pregnancy , postpartum , and parenting. You are not alone in these struggles & you don't have to face them alone either.

You deserve to feel like yourself again. You may feel lost and not know where to begin. Other times you may know what you “should” be doing to get better but feel like you get in your own way. Either way, support is available. I enjoy working with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, chronic health concerns, OCD, burnout, and perfectionism. I also have special passion for working with women who are pregnant or are adjusting to life with a baby (including postpartum anxiety and depression). In addition, I have specialized training and experience with first responder populations.

I have a few spots available for new clients. I have the privilege of working with couples and adults of diverse backgrounds and experiencing a wide array of struggles. Many of my couples want to re-build their sense of friendship, regain trust, and feel deeply connected, heard, and understood. My individual clients come in with a variety of challenges, from everyday stressors, depression, anxiety, grief, loss, and processing trauma. I believe my client is their own best expert, and we will collaborate to create goals and a treatment plan that helps you live life fully. I currently work 10-4 Mon and Tues, and 10-5 Thurs and Fri.
