Perinatal Mental Health

Pregnancy and new parenthood are often described as joyful, but for many, this time also brings unexpected emotional struggles. You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, numb, or disconnected. You may be grieving, doubting yourself, or struggling with changes in identity and relationships.

At Four Wings Psychology, we provide specialized therapy for perinatal mental health in Nepean and online across Ontario. Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, or supporting a partner through this transition, we’re here to help you feel seen, supported, and strong.

Perinatal therapy provides a safe, supportive space to explore your experience, regulate difficult emotions, and reconnect with your inner strengths.

At Four Wings Psychology, our approach is warm, validating, and trauma-informed. Your therapist may use:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – to work with anxiety, guilt, and intrusive thoughts
• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) – to process emotional overwhelm and strengthen attachment
• Mindfulness and grounding – to reduce emotional reactivity and help you feel more present

We tailor therapy to your unique needs: whether you're pregnant with your first child, grieving a loss, or navigating postpartum with a toddler in tow.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not like yourself during or after pregnancy, therapy can help. There is no shame in asking for support: it’s a courageous act of care for both you and your child.
