Carrie Battiste
SaveCarrie is a Registered Social Worker with over 10 years of experience. She is passionate about supporting mothers and parents during any stage of the perinatal period, from creating a birth plan for the baby’s delivery to providing treatment for anxiety, depression, grief and loss, difficulty bonding with the baby and stress in the couple relationship. Becoming a mother can feel isolating, overwhelming, lonely and overstimulating, and new mothers often struggle with feelings of guilt, shame, anger and a loss of self or identity. Carrie provides a safe space for processing these feelings and supports mothers to develop practical tools for coping and to build confidence for meeting their child’s needs.

Carrie also provides support navigating unhealthy relationships, including problems with violence, controlling behaviour and toxicity. Clients are invited to explore interpersonal struggles and to develop insight into what fosters a healthy, lasting relationship. Are you pushing away or attracting healthy relationships? Carrie helps cultivate insight into your ‘inner working model’ or ‘default settings’ that may be keeping you stuck in unhelpful and dysfunctional communication patterns. Carrie offers the Adult Attachment Interview as a therapeutic tool for growing insight into your interpersonal relationships, attachment style and patterns.
In a counselling session with Carrie, you can expect a trauma-informed, relational and attachment-based lens that prioritizes safety, connection and client-led progress. She provides pyschoeducation about neuroscience to learn about your baby’s brain development and your own body’s neurobiology and stress response systems. It is common for trauma from the past to resurface after giving birth, and Carrie is there to make sense out of these changes while meeting each person where they’re at. Carrie helps you to break hurtful cycles of care and to cultivate your ability to set boundaries with others when needed. EMDR is also an option for those who are ready to dive deeper in their journey of healing.
Carrie welcomes all people to participate in therapy and has worked with fathers, 2SLGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. Carrie recognizes that not all parents are cisgender, heterosexual or Canadian-born and she welcomes people from all identities, cultures and backgrounds to explore their parenting and mental health journey without judgement. Carrie approaches therapy through a social justice lens that validates experiences of discrimination, injustice, and systemic and institutional oppression. Carrie recognizes her own biases and invites client feedback when she can do better.

When we are anxious or stressed, it's hard to think clearly, express ourselves, or feel connected to others. In this workshop, we’ll explore various ways the body responds to stress, as well as the practice of “Vagal Toning”. You'll walk away with simple tools to help you manage stress, regulate emotions, and build stronger connections with the people around you.
