About me

Are You struggling with postpartum anxiety, birth trauma, grief, or the pressure to be the “perfect” parent? You are not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out alone either. Hi, I am Aqsa Javaid, a therapist-in-training supporting new and expecting parents through the messy, beautiful, and often overwhelming chapters of early parenthood. If you are navigating postpartum anxiety, birth trauma, grief after loss, or lying awake at 2 a.m. with an ADHD brain that just won’t slow down, you are not alone. I am here to help you feel grounded, understood, and more like yourself again. My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally attuned. I believe that parents are the true experts on their babies and their lives, I simply walk beside you, helping you make sense of it all. In our sessions, we blend mind-body grounding, gentle CBT strategies, and storytelling that makes space for your full truth, without the pressure of “fixing” everything. I offer sliding-scale rates, flexible evening and weekend sessions, and virtual therapy across Ontario to fit your family’s rhythm. Healing starts with safety, honesty, and even a little laughter. Let’s grow those together.

Service introduction

I offer compassionate, evidence‑based counselling for parents at every stage of the journey, from fertility hopes and pregnancy jitters to postpartum mood shifts and the daily juggle of raising little ones. Whether you are processing birth trauma, grieving a loss, wrestling with anxiety, depression, or perfectionism, or simply craving a space to untangle the new‑parent identity, sessions blend mind‑body grounding, CBT tools, gentle narrative work, and culturally sensitive support. We can also address relationship strain, co‑parenting communication, and the impact of ADHD or burnout on family life. Care is tailored to your pace, available online across Ontario or in a cozy Vaughan office, with sliding‑scale fees to keep help accessible.
