Postpartum Counselling in Winnipeg: Finding Support After Baby Arrives
Bringing home a new baby is often described as one of the happiest times in life, but for many, it can also be one of the most overwhelming.
If you’re struggling after giving birth, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to push through it in silence. At Cedar Mountain Counselling, we offer specialized postpartum counselling in Winnipeg to help parents navigate the emotional, mental, and relational changes that come with life after baby.
What Does Postpartum Mental Health Really Look Like?
Postpartum doesn’t always look like the glossy photos you see online. It can feel like:
Crying more than you expected
Feeling angry, anxious, or numb
Struggling to bond with your baby
Constant worry or intrusive thoughts
Resentment toward your partner or others
Feeling lost or disconnected from yourself
Whether you’re experiencing postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, rage, or simply feeling off, your experience is valid and treatable.
How Can Postpartum Counselling Help?
Therapy creates a space where you can talk openly, without judgment, about what you're going through.
In sessions, we can help you:
Understand what’s happening in your mind and body
Learn regulation tools to manage stress and overwhelm
Process any birth trauma, NICU experiences, or feeding struggles
Rebuild your identity and relationships after baby
Move from surviving to feeling like yourself again
You don’t have to wait until things get worse to ask for help. Early support can make a meaningful difference.
What to Look for in a Postpartum Therapist
Finding the right support can make a big difference. Here are a few things to look for in a postpartum therapist:

A trauma-informed, compassionate approach
Experience with postpartum depression, anxiety, rage, or birth trauma
Inclusive, 2SLGBTQI+ affirming and culturally sensitive care
Flexible options for virtual or in-person sessions
