Hey mama, I’m Angela! 

​

I’m a Licensed Counselling Therapist-Candidate with the College of Counselling Therapists of New Brunswick. I graduated Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University in 2018. After a 7 year background supporting women in a domestic violence outreach role, I started my maternal mental practice when I was a few months postpartum with my twins. I absolutely love what I do, and have such a passion for helping women navigate motherhood.

I consider myself an integrative therapist, going with the flow of what my client needs in any given session, using a number of different frameworks and strategies as they become useful. I am fully perinatal mental health trained, and an EMDRIA approved EMDR trained therapist.

I pride myself on being authentic and relatable with my clients. I've yet to meet a client I didn't have something in common with, and I will take every opportunity to bond over our mutual interests and life experience. I won't hesitate to share some of myself with you when I think it will benefit you to know that I relate and understand. The relationship built between you and your therapist is responsible for about 80% of your success in therapy - the rest doesn't matter if I don't show up authentically.

Hi there, I’m Valérie, a registered psychologist, an EMDR certified therapist, and a survivor of my own difficult postpartum journey (see blog post for my personal story). I have a specialized private practice in perinatal mental health where I provide counselling services to individuals and couples experiencing challenges during the important stages of family building and parenthood. Specifically, I provide services and support for those affected by infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, termination of pregnancy, prenatal diagnosis and stays within NICU, birth trauma, anxiety and/or mood disorders during pregnancy, and postpartum depression and/or anxiety. 

I am passionate about helping others gain the skills and confidence to take control of their mental health so they can live a life that’s full of joy and fulfillment. I strongly believe every person deserves a safe space, individualized care, and a warm connection to a therapist who can help. That’s where I come in. I invite you to visit my website to learn about me, my professional background, my qualifications and see if I could be a good fit for you. I am here to help you be more present and less overwhelmed in your motherhood journey.

I look forward to working with you, and seeing what we can do together.

Val

My name is Heidi Langford, BA Psych, RSW, MSW. I have an extensive background providing mental health support to individuals and families. This includes experience and training related to addictions, trauma, and various mental health issues. More recently I completed a Master of Social work with special focus on the topic of postpartum distress and maternal mental health. I currently work part-time in public service providing individual and family based mental health counselling. I also have a private practice called Three Stones Counselling, which is focused on interventions that support individuals and families through life transitions inclusive of perinatal issues, employment changes, and other developmental issues faced by families. My work is informed by various approaches including cognitive behavioural models which breakdown thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and provide skills to gain more clarity and calm while navigating intense emotions. I am passionate about supporting women to explore their feelings about motherhood and developing more empowering narratives about ourselves in this transition. When women and their families come to me for support they can expect a non-judgemental space to explore themselves and leave with solutions that they can feel good about. 

Hey there, my name is Alina and I am the face of Saorsa Wellness!  A little about my background... I completed my Bachelor of Social Work in 2014 and started my career working in the education sector in a student and family support role.  In 2020, I moved to a rural community and started working as a Clinical Counsellor with a local family services branch.  This opportunity opened the doors to start working with many perinatal clients through our ongoing counselling services and the Rapid Access Counselling program with Counselling Connect - this is where I found my passion within this work. I started to recognize the limited services for the perinatal population while working with clients, as well as navigating my own difficult postpartum journey when my son was born in 2022.In 2024, I completed the certification process to become Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Certified (CC-PMH).  Moving forward, I have more plans to complete further perinatal specific certifications in the coming years!  My private practice has been going since 2020, with the primary focus on women's wellness.  This is now shifting to perinatal wellness and support.  Primary focus areas being perinatal anxiety, perinatal depression, mom rage, navigating mom and parental guilt, default parenting and Internal Family Systems (IFS) language/tools (note: I am not fully certified in IFS - we utilize language and tools within my scope of practice).

Education and relevant certifications:

•Bachelor of Social Work (BSW, RSW)

•Canadian Certified Perinatal Mental Health (CC-PMH)

•Internal Family Systems for Perinatal Populations

•Trauma Counselling Certificate

My name is Rebecca, I'm married to an amazing guy and have a spicy little toddler who keeps me on my feet. 

I’m all about the good stuff—regular massages, bath bombs, delicious food, and soaking up the sun. I also love finding fun ways to move, like pickleball and Pilates. 

 Professionally, I’m a licensed therapist through ACCT, certified by the Vancouver College of Professional Counselling, with a focus on supporting women through difficult life circumstances, from postpartum challenges to relationship issues, anxiety, and sexual abuse recovery. 

I’m passionate about helping my clients work through stress, heal from trauma, and rebuild their confidence. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused approaches, but I always tailor my methods to fit each unique client. 

With certifications in Autism Awareness and Inclusive Practices, as well as Compassionate Crisis Response, I strive to create a supportive environment for healing and growth.

My name is Amy Dyck. I obtained a Bachelor of Social Work degree in 2008 and I am a Registered Social Worker with the Saskatchewan Association of Social Work. I proudly provide individual counselling services at Embark Counselling Inc in a welcoming, inclusive and safe space.

Perinatal mental health has resonated deeply with me for the past 10 years. My passion is rooted in my turbulent perinatal journey and reproductive challenges. I have two children who continually remind me of the value in prioritising mental health and seeking support when needed. 

I have extensive experience in providing services in the human service field. This has included direct involvement with youth, individuals, caregivers, mothers and families who have faced significant trauma, loss, mental health and familial stressors. 

I strongly believe in fostering a non-judgemental, trauma-informed, inclusive and safe environment for clients. This allows individuals to actively participate in their unique journey toward healing, vulnerability, resilience, acceptance and understanding of their experiences. My approach utilises several therapeutic modalities, which integrate solution-focused, strength-based and family systems theory. These approaches can be utilised to empower women to navigate challenges in mental health, loss, reproductive challenges and traumatic experiences during their journey. 

I have recently attended foundational training on the applications of Internal Family Systems within the perinatal populations. I continue to prioritize ongoing professional development in the realm of infertility, reproductive trauma and perinatal mental health. 

I am passionate about helping people feel empowered along their life journey. I provide compassionate support and guidance to help individuals navigate challenges and aid in self-discovery and personal development. I provide a non-judgmental and inclusive setting for all. 

I have training in the use of Expressive Arts therapy in the postpartum period. I also have training in Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. My areas of focus are on women’s issues, relationship issues, stress, anxiety, and pre/postnatal counselling.
