This looks different depending on where you are in your journey, so we tailor the specialized therapy experience to where you are, right now. Our therapists have extensive experience and training in trauma, EMDR therapy, and perinatal mental health, as well as the lived experience of being parents themselves.
Better for their kids, their partners, and themselves.
We support the folks who want better.
We help adults, parents, and parents-to-be heal from trauma and navigate the emotional challenges that can arise during pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. Our specialized support includes birth trauma, pregnancy and postpartum anxiety, postpartum rage, pregnancy loss, infertility, intrusive thoughts, and parenting triggers.
We also work with adults healing from childhood trauma that continues to impact their relationships, parenting, and family life, as well as dads looking for specialized therapy.

You're tired of understanding your patterns and ready to change them.
You want to heal the wounds that you don't want to pass on.
You want therapy that includes the body, not just the mind.
You want lasting change, not temporary coping strategies.
You want to feel more connected—to yourself, your partner, and your children.
Why Choose Us?
Many of our clients have read the books, listened to the podcasts, and understand why they feel the way they do. But they still find themselves snapping at their kids, shutting down during conflict, feeling overwhelmed by motherhood, or repeating the same patterns they promised themselves they'd never repeat.
Our work helps create change that you don’t just understand but that you actually feel in your everyday life.
We go beyond insight.
Our specialized focus on trauma, perinatal mental health, and parenthood helps clients navigate how their past experiences show up in pregnancy, postpartum, relationships, and parenting. We understand the unique challenges each season can bring.
We also recognize that the transition to parenthood can activate old wounds in unexpected ways. Through trauma and EMDR therapy, we help clients process experiences that continue to shape how they feel, connect, and parent.
We understand trauma and parenthood.
Verity Counselling is rooted in both specialized training in trauma, EMDR therapy, and perinatal mental health, as well as lived experience. We know what it's like to recognize our own childhood wounds showing up in the moments that matter most—in our relationships, in our parenting, and in how we relate to ourselves. We know what it feels like to want something different for our families, while wondering how to get there.
That desire for something different is at the heart of why Verity exists. We believe healing is about more than reducing symptoms or learning coping strategies. It's about creating the kind of change that allows you to show up more fully in your life, your relationships, and your parenting.
