Lindsay Clara

I have specialized training in perinatal mental health and am deeply committed to supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most tender and transformative moments. My work focuses on grief and bereavement after pregnancy loss, fertility and infertility struggles, the challenges of parenthood, and life transitions.

In my practice, I hold space for those experiencing depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, grief, self-esteem challenges, and the emotional complexities that can arise throughout the journey of parenthood. My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that healing happens through connection and understanding.

I practice from an eclectic approach, using multi-modal therapies, including mindfulness-based cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), self-compassion, solution-focused brief therapy, narrative therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

My personal experiences deeply inform my approach to therapy, bringing both passion and empathy to every session. Having navigated challenges with fertility and pursuing IVF, I witnessed firsthand the gaps in mental health support and advocacy, particularly around infertility, pregnancy loss, and following the transition to parenthood. These experiences inspired me to become the therapist I once needed; someone who not only understands the clinical aspects of mental health but also provides compassionate, authentic, and validating care.
