Reaching out for support is a challenge, and you are so worth it.
Birth Trauma.
Birth trauma is anything that exceeds the nervous system's ability to cope before, during and after childbirth experience. At RPTC, we understand that this experience is subjective, meaning that each person will view their birth trauma differently and that what causes it is a long list of issues. We support those navigating this experience with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Compassion Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy.
Fertility.
Fertility is a layered and complex area to manage for so many of our clients. We understand that it is an individual journey for each person seeking support from us at RPTC. From IVF, to IUI, to adoption or surrogacy. We know people take many paths to create the family they dream of. We support those with Fertility challenges by offering help through EMDR, Compassion-Focused, Narrative Therapy, Attachment Therapy and Somatic. We also recognize that both people on this journey need a community around them and provide support to partners. Stay tuned for our upcoming workshop on “How Partners Can Support Each Other.” Individual and Couples Therapy sessions are available to help you navigate.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss.
No parent should ever have to endure pain like this. The grief that comes with losing a pregnancy and infant is like no other, and so too is the process to work through it. We know that this, for many, is a life-long journey and one that is never fully healed but instead managed. RPTC understands just how critical it is to meet people where they are on this journey, that grief comes in waves and that it is not a linear process. We can help you process through EMDR, Advanced EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Attachment Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy. We offer Individual and Couples Therapy. Stay tuned for our group therapy sessions on “Supporting Couples through Perinatal Loss.”
Paternal Mental Health.
One of the most underrepresented communities is Dads and partners struggling with their mental health while parenting. There is a great deal of stigma that we are fully aware of RPTC and hope to break down around the needs of Dads and the intensity of the emotions they keep hidden. We help Dads and partners struggling with Anxiety, Depression, Birth Trauma, Anger management, Grief and Loss, and other concerns they run up against while navigating the undeniable challenges of learning how to parent.
Our services.
Endometriosis.
There are many ways in which women’s pain is minimized and ignored, and Endometriosis is one of those areas. Endometriosis, as a medical condition, is still greatly misunderstood. We know that the experiences of those suffering from this are unique and vast, and we want to ensure there is space for it all to be heard and held at our centre.
IUD Trauma.
IUD insertion, IUD experiences, IUD pain…we do not talk about this enough. Our understanding from the limited research and from those who feel safe enough to express their trauma is that the lack of pain management is a massive issue for those seeking this as a form of contraception or to support health issues due to menstruation. We know how silenced this area is, and we want you to know you can take up space here. We support those with IUD trauma with Somatic therapy elements, EMDR and Compassion-Focused Therapy. Teela also offers workshops and presentations to providers on trauma-informed care connected to IUD insertion.
Our services.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
PCOS is another concern in the reproductive that is misunderstood and, at times, ignored. Often, the experience of those with PCOS involves feeling judged and shamed, as if their condition is a choice. We know that not only was it not a choice, but just how upsetting and difficult it is to manage an issue that is not heard by others.
Perinatal Mental Health.
We are here for the parent. So often, new parents find themselves with very little support and surrounded by people who want to focus on the baby. Their needs often feel left behind. PMADS (Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders) impacts so many new parents, and we want to ensure those who have been or are at risk of it will find the right support. The proper assessment and treatment plan is critical, you can feel so much better.
Our services.
Perimenopause.
Perimenopause means "around menopause" and refers to the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause, marking the end of the reproductive years. It can happen as early as mid 30’s and typically lasts until around the age of 45. It can last 5-10 years before menopause starts. It is an essential aspect of a woman’s life, yet is stigmatized and often misunderstood. People often share the shame and anxiety that accompanies this time of their life and how isolatinng it can feel. Being in perimenopause comes with a slew of symptoms that are often confusing and hard to manage such as; sleep issues, mood swings, irregular periods, anxiety, rage, irritability, changes in physical appearance, depression, difficulty concentrating and more. You don’t have to go through this time of your life alone, we got you!
