Recommendations for Couples Therapist (Postpartum Support Needed)

Hi everyone,

My husband and I recently welcomed our second baby, and we’ve been going through a lot of relationship challenges. I’m currently 5 months postpartum, so I recognize that some of these issues may be tied to postpartum depression, anxiety, lack of support, and the overall adjustment to life with two young kids.

Although I’m on maternity leave, I know my employer offers free resources and services. I was also given a list of family support services at the hospital where I gave birth. That said, I’ll be honest—I’m feeling really overwhelmed and don’t know where to start.

In the past, I used my previous employer’s employee assistance program for anxiety counselling, but I found the system difficult to navigate and not well suited for medium- to long-term therapy or coaching.

Right now, I’m looking for a therapist or clinic that offers high-quality, personalized support for individuals and couples—ideally with experience supporting young families like ours. I know there are a lot of options out there, but I’d really appreciate recommendations to help narrow things down.

I’m located in the east end near Orléans. We don’t currently have any daycare in place, but I’m open to virtual sessions. I’d prefer a French-speaking therapist if possible. We also have insurance that can help cover the cost.

Thank you so much in advance for any recommendations or advice.
