Where Perinatal SupportTakes Root

Individual sessions provide a safe space to explore experiences related to conceiving, pregnancy, parenthood, and beyond, such as mood changes, anxiety, identity shifts, relationship difficulties, birth trauma, fertility challenges, miscarriage or pregnancy loss.
-
Couples and family counselling can help improve communication, manage stress, and address key issues such as anxiety, role transitions, and divergent expectations.

Ensuring all parties are prepared emotionally and psychologically for the family building journey when a third-party is involved.

Together with Have Baby Must Sleep, Rooted’s sister company, we offer the More Than Sleep package, a unique offering that provides comprehensive mental health and sleep support.

What makes Rooted different?
At Rooted Perinatal Therapy, we take a collaborative approach to therapy. We work alongside our clients to create meaningful goals, learn new skills, explore different perspectives, and navigate life’s challenges. We also believe healing happens in connection. That’s why we value building community, strengthening support systems, and helping clients feel less alone throughout their perinatal journey.
