Are you dealing with a recent trauma or trauma in childhood that you believe may be holding you back, getting easily triggered by things you feel should not be so hard to deal with. Do you feel sad or constantly anxious and worried, or feeling that life is pulling you down and you are not sure how to get back on track? Trauma/s, old beliefs and habitual patterns may be keeping you from finding enjoyment in your life. These things are challenging to deal with on your own sometimes, but by building awareness and strong inner resources and using body centered therapy techniques, you can live life with more peace and enjoyment.

I am passionate about my work with perinatal mental health, fertility challenges, adjustment and overall wellness.
You deserve to live your best, most authentic and fulfilling life! I get that, unfortunately, this isn’t always your current reality. I truly believe that we are all doing the best that we can with what is available to us in this very moment. Sometimes, that will look different, based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our environment, support, nervous system health, past experiences, and limiting beliefs. Life transitions can be particularly challenging, such as the fertility journey and, if fortunate enough, becoming a parent. It can feel hard, but it doesn’t have to be. We were never meant to do this alone!

I work with mothers who may be struggling with postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, birth & reproductive trauma, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, mom rage, ADHD, transitioning into motherhood, handling the mental load, loss of identity, healing childhood trauma and cycle-breaking, and anything mom-related!
If you're a mother in search of support because you're feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, overstimulated, angry, or like you're purely just surviving - you are most certainly not alone. A safe space to talk about these unique challenges of motherhood with someone who understands can be so validating and healing.
I'm Ang - I'm a therapist and a mother of 4 year old twins and a 10 year old. I drink way too much coffee, I have a potty mouth, I have ADHD, and I am in the trenches of motherhood right along with you. It truly takes a village, and I'd be honoured to be a part of yours.

Hi, I'm Jenna, owner and Counselling Therapist at Mountain View Counselling. I work with infants, young children, and their families during times when parenting feels especially challenging. Whether your child is experiencing big emotions, anxiety, behavioural difficulties, or your family is adjusting to a major life change, you don't have to navigate it alone.

What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
