A virtual clinic offering trauma-informed counselling for moms across Canada.
We are here to listen and validate your experiences. Our mission goes beyond just support; we empower you to overcome struggles and embrace the best version of yourself.
Our team is childbirth, trauma and polyvagal (nervous system) informed. We are striving to close the gap between the childbearing continuum and perinatal mental health. We understand that your experience of becoming a mother, impacts the experience of being a mother.
Our team is mentored by the Founder of ASK Therapy, Jennifer Summerfeldt, who is the author of Healing After Birth: Navigating Your Emotions After A Difficult Childbirth and holds a Masters in Counselling Psychology. Her work is informed by 20+ years of combined lived experience as a mother, student of direct-entry midwifery, childbirth educator and advocate, as well as, psychological studies within the theoretical frameworks of behavioural and peak performance, polyvagal, trauma, attachment, and transpersonal psychology.

Healing After Birth Program
An 8-week trauma-informed course for mothers seeking recovery and renewal after a challenging birth experience.
It focuses on establishing safety and emotional regulation as primary phase of healing, followed by a down and under phase to work with stuck emotions and stressful thoughts, and closes with an up and out phase so you can move into your new role as a mother with more grace and confidence.
