Ontario parents: if cost has been the reason you’ve put off therapy, this is for you. 🤍

We have appointments available this week through the MARSHA Care Perinatal Therapy Clinic.

Our suggested rate is $75/session — but it is truly Pay What You Can. There is no minimum.
For people without income or benefits who simply cannot afford therapy right now, sessions can also be completely free, with some spaces supported through Flora’s Walk funding.

Meet Lisa, Rylie + Alison — three graduate-level student therapists working under my direct clinical supervision.

They support people navigating things like: anxiety, overwhelm, emotional regulation, parenting stress, postpartum mental health, identity changes, grief, trauma, relationships and major life transitions.

And Alison also offers EMDR and is accepting new clients this month only.

Pregnant? Postpartum? Parenting a child under 6?

Moms, dads and partners are welcome.
📍 In-person options in Barrie
💻 Virtual therapy anywhere in Ontario

You do not need to know exactly what kind of therapy you need before you reach out.

Sometimes your part of the story is simply:
“I know I need some help.”
That’s enough. We can help with the next step.

How are you hanging in with all the first day feels?

Being a parent is hard! Make sure you take time for yourself this week to be able to respond to your kids needs vs reacting to their behaviors 😉

I get it.

Breathe.....

Maybe you don't need another person telling you to “just say no.”

Maybe you need somewhere to practice what comes after.

Reclaiming Your Boundaries is a six-week group with Karah + Alison for women who are tired of saying yes at their own expense.

Sept 24–Oct 29 | Barrie | $150
Registration is now open. 🤍

The boundary isn't the hard part. Sometimes it's what happens after. 🤍

Sometimes I know exactly where the boundary needs to be.

The hard part is tolerating how someone else might feel about it. 🤍

Turns out, “I can handle it” and “I should have to handle it” are two very different things.

Maybe you thought you'd be better at this by now.

More patient.
Less overwhelmed.
More grateful.
Less affected by all of it.

Maybe you look around and wonder why everyone else seems to be handling motherhood better than you are.

They're not.

Motherhood can be beautiful and still be hard.
You can love your kids fiercely and still miss parts of yourself.
You can be a really good mom and still need help carrying what's become too heavy.

Your capacity isn't a measure of how much you love your family.

And needing support isn't evidence that you're failing.

You deserve care while you're caring for everyone else, too. 🤍

You can be getting through the day and still need support.

You don't have to wait for things to get worse. And you don't have to know exactly what you need before reaching out.

Sometimes, you just know this chapter feels heavier than you want to carry alone.

We're here when you're ready. 🤍
