Perhaps you are on your third little one and can't believe how hard things are, after all you were a seasoned mama, why would this one be so different? 

After your second miscarriage, the news of yet another baby shower has you wanting to shut off from the world. Why can't it be your turn?

Maybe you're looking at your sweet baby, the one you always wanted, wondering why in the world you ever chose this life, things are so different, so hard now.

We want you to know you are not alone.

Village Therapy was founded by a mama, for mamas, because conception, pregnancy, and parenting aren't easy and it really does take a village.

We are specialists in maternal mental health and provide telephone and video therapy sessions.

 

Wherever you are on your journey, we are here to help you through. Village Therapy provides "on-the-go" counselling, by way of telephone or live video chat,  to women and their partners to address mental health concerns during any stage of the perinatal period; from preconception to parenting.
