Find a Postpartum depression Therapist in Alberta

Postpartum depression is a period of emotional distress that can occur after childbirth. It may involve sadness, irritability, guilt, anxiety, or feelings of detachment. These experiences are common and not a reflection of failure or weakness. At ShiftGrit, we help you understand why these changes happen — biologically, emotionally, and cognitively — and guide you in retraining thought and emotional patterns for more stability, energy, and calm.

Our structured therapy model focuses on education, emotional regulation, and gentle reconditioning. Using Pattern Theory™, we identify limiting beliefs such as “I’m not a good enough parent” or “I should be coping better.” These beliefs, combined with hormonal and lifestyle shifts, can sustain distress. Through Reconditioning, we help the brain and body unlearn automatic guilt or fear responses — allowing new patterns of calm, confidence, and connection to form naturally.
