Our Postpartum Therapy Services Support

Postpartum Depression

Postpartum depression can leave new mothers feeling unlike themselves. This might show up as numbness, tearful, disconnected, or feeling overwhelmed by guilt and sadness.

If you're finding it hard to bond with your baby, enjoy things you once did, or even get through the day, you’re not alone.

At Pursue You Psychotherapy, we offer secure, virtual therapy for postpartum depression to mothers in Stoney Creek, Hamilton, and across Ontario. Our online sessions provide a safe, non-judgmental space to talk through what you’re experiencing and begin healing.

You’ll learn practical tools to manage mood changes, reconnect with yourself, and move through motherhood with more ease and support.

Postpartum Anxiety

Postpartum anxiety is more than just “new mom nerves.” It can show up as constant worry, racing thoughts, panic, or a fear that something terrible will happen to your baby.

You may feel hyper-vigilant, have trouble sleeping even when the baby sleeps, or struggle with intrusive thoughts that feel distressing and out of control.

Our experienced therapists provide online postpartum anxiety therapy tailored to the unique challenges new mothers face. Through virtual sessions, we help mothers across Ontario build coping strategies, reduce anxious thinking, and restore a sense of calm and confidence so you can feel more present and grounded during this important time.

Therapy for First-Time Mothers

Becoming a mother for the first time can be both beautiful and deeply overwhelming. Between the sleepless nights, identity shifts, hormonal changes, and pressure to “do it all,” many new moms silently struggle with emotional overload and self-doubt.

At Pursue You Psychotherapy, we offer online therapy for first-time moms in Stoney Creek and throughout Ontario, creating space to talk openly about the challenges of early motherhood.

Whether you’re adjusting to this new role, grieving the life you had before, or just need support navigating the day-to-day, our virtual therapy sessions are designed to help you feel heard, supported, and more connected to yourself.

Grieving the Life You Had Before Baby

Many new mothers feel a quiet sense of grief after giving birth-not because they don’t love their baby, but because their life has changed in ways they didn’t expect.

You may miss your independence, your routine, your relationship dynamics, or simply the version of yourself that existed before motherhood.

In therapy, we help normalize this grief and guide you through the emotional transition into your new identity.

Our online postpartum support creates space for reflection, self-compassion, and growth, so you can honour what you’ve lost while embracing what’s new.

Navigating Relationship Changes After Baby

Bringing a baby into the world can deeply shift your relationship with your partner. You may feel emotionally distant, overwhelmed by new responsibilities, or disconnected from the intimacy and teamwork you once shared.

Resentment, communication struggles, and feeling unseen are all common-yet rarely talked about-experiences for new parents.

At Pursue You Psychotherapy, we support individuals navigating relationship changes in the postpartum period. Through online therapy, we help you explore your needs, improve communication, and make space for both partnership and parenthood.

Whether you’re feeling alone in your relationship or simply want to reconnect, we’re here to help you strengthen your bond while adjusting to this new chapter.

Managing Overwhelm and Mental Load

The mental load of motherhood is real and exhausting. From remembering feeding schedules and medical appointments to managing household tasks and emotional caregiving, it can feel like you’re running on fumes.

At Pursue You Psychotherapy, we help mothers untangle the constant mental “to-do list” and develop strategies to reduce stress and reclaim mental space.

Through virtual therapy, you’ll gain clarity, emotional support, and sustainable ways to cope with daily demands-so you don’t have to carry it all alone.
