Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in B4A

Now Accepting New Clients! The transition to parenthood can be hard, whether it’s struggling with becoming pregnant, grief over miscarriage, stillbirth or infant loss, depression or anxiety during and/or after pregnancy, or learning how to adjust to your new life with baby. Many parents when faced with these challenges feel overwhelmed and sad that things didn’t go as they had planned or expected.

Feeling stuck? Have you noticed a decline in your mood? Are negative thoughts (the "what ifs") becoming more difficult to ignore? Are you struggling with managing a difficult relationship and setting boundaries? Maybe you feel that being a new parent is not what you expected? Are you anticipating to, or going through a period of uncertainty or a life transition? Life is too short to surrender to overwhelming thoughts and feelings. With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I can appreciate the need for time and a safe space to process, problem solve and learn strategies and skills to help you become your best self.

Hello, I'm Allison, and I am thrilled to extend a warm welcome to Nest Therapy, where compassionate care meets over two decades of clinical therapy expertise. My specializations include: birth trauma, pregnancy and postpartum anxiety/depression, adjustment to being a new parent, parenting young children, fertility challenges, grief related to stillbirth or pregnancy loss.

Currently accepting new clients in person and virtually. Welcome! I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing a range of mental health challenges. I am first and foremost client-centred and collaborative in my approach, which means we work together on how to best support your mental health. Some modalities I tend to draw upon are play therapy, sand tray therapy, expressive arts, narrative therapy, and DBT. However, therapy is for you, and if something doesn’t resonate, we will shift gears until we find something that does. Therapy is a journey we walk together.

Sometimes things in life feel too big and too hard to face alone. Perhaps you're experiencing depression, anxiety, or grief. You might need help navigating codependency, tricky relationship dynamics, challenges with substance use, compulsive behavior, or postpartum support. Maybe you want to explore your gender/sexual identity. Counselling can help you better cope with your struggles, work through mental health challenges, face addiction, and find clarity, hope, and healing. Our time together is judgment-free in a space cultivated with safety, trust, and empathy. I strive to be an anti-oppressive, sex and kink-positive practitioner.

You’re exhausted and grumpy. You thought having a kid would make your family complete, but now all you and your partner talk about are diapers and schedules, and who is (or isn’t) taking care of the kids. It’s hard to hold onto the joy everyone tells us our kids should bring. You worry that things will never get better, and that you and your partner will just grow further and further apart. Even worse, you’re starting to resent your partner, your kid, and everyone else that makes it look so easy to have the perfect little family. It’s so lonely feeling like the only one who is struggling with life and family these days.

On the outside, you look like you have it all together, but truth is, on the inside you're a mess. You used to pride yourself on being able to balance a successful career, kids and a healthy relationship. But now, you feel burnt out and anxious; your worries are always rolling around in your mind. Lately, you've been more irritable and frustrated toward your kids and spouse, which makes you feel terrible. Worse yet, you've completely forgotten about yourself. It feels like you are drowning under the weight of your problems and you are desperate to get free. You never imagined yourself seeing a therapist, but you know you need help.

None of us deserve to face life feeling alone. You deserve a safe space where you can feel heard; a place to work through whatever comes your way; and a place to gain tools that you can use to live every day to the fullest. Perhaps you have a child who is learning to work through their emotions, or you are a young person having a hard time at school or at home. Maybe you are a parent looking to find ways to connect with your child(ren) differently than you are now or you're an adult who is about to go through a big life transition and want a listening ear.

Like many women in today's world, do you struggle to maintain meaningful connections and stay motivated in the face of overwhelming feelings of loneliness and the difficulty of navigating life, particularly after entering motherhood? Do you find yourself unable to fully engage in your daily life, whether it's at work or in your relationships, due to persistent feelings of depression? Are you weighed down by the relentless pressure to meet others' expectations? Looking for a sense of fulfillment and purpose, wondering if there is more to life than this endless struggle?

I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Dalhousie University and my Master of Psychology degree from Adler Graduate Professional School.

I'm a Social Worker and a Counselling Therapist which allows me to customize therapy in a holistic way that considers you personally and also social influences such as work, relationships, and family. I primarily assist individuals and couples going through life's various transitions such as a recent move or job loss, relationship changes, loss of loved ones, estranged family, terminal illness, step and blended family adjustment, and divorce recovery.

For many people, walking into a therapist’s office can be extremely difficult and anxiety provoking.

Taking new clients looking resolve trauma. My approach to therapy is rooted in the view that people have an inherent capacity for healthiness. I will work with you to uncover that wellbeing again so that you can live the life you deserve with more vitality and authenticity whether you suffer from chronic illness, the burden of a traumatic injury or complex trauma, a diagnosis of PTSD, anxiety, depression, unprocessed grief, or the malaise that comes from being over-stressed and not coping as well as you'd like.

My clients are generally people who are managing a chronic medical condition, are struggling with a life altering diagnosis, who may be finding a life transition challenging(menopause, retirement) and have feelings of anxiety or sadness as a result. I provide counselling to help make difficult decisions.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stressed, lost or stuck in a way of living that no longer feels good. Perhaps you are experiencing a loss or major life change and are struggling to cope. You may be leaving an unhealthy relationship and have a lot of difficult choices to make and feelings to process. Crescent Counselling Therapy provides a safe space and compassionate care to help you examine the problems you are experiencing. I can help you remember and use your strengths and amazing qualities so you can work towards creating the life you want.
