Meet Alyssa
I’m Alyssa Trittler, MSW, RSW, PMH-C, a Registered Social Worker and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Counselor whose practice is dedicated to supporting women across the reproductive and motherhood journey — from trying to conceive, through pregnancy and postpartum, and into the many transitions that continue to unfold in motherhood.
Over the years, I have intentionally shaped my education and clinical training around the needs of the perinatal community. I have specialized training in perinatal mental health counselling, fertility and reproductive mental health, birth and reproductive trauma, and pregnancy and postpartum grief and loss. I am also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), somatic and embodiment-based practices, mindfulness, and nervous-system regulation.
Some of the work I feel especially connected to is supporting women experiencing infertility, fertility treatment, miscarriage, pregnancy and infant loss, pregnancy after loss, and the complex grief that can accompany reproductive experiences. I also work closely with women navigating postpartum anxiety, depression, overwhelm, identity shifts, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, relationship changes, and the often complicated process of finding themselves again after becoming a mother.
In addition to my psychotherapy training, I am a trained birth and postpartum doula through DONA and have completed the Bringing Baby Home Educator Training through the Gottman Institute. I also have additional education in infant and family sleep, which allows me to support families experiencing sleep-related stress within the broader context of mental health, attachment, family functioning, nervous-system regulation, and sustainable routines.
My approach is relational, compassionate, trauma-informed, and deeply human. I believe therapy should be a place where women can bring the parts of motherhood and reproductive life that are often difficult to say out loud — the grief, uncertainty, anger, fear, resentment, disconnection, longing, identity changes, and questions about who they are becoming.
My work is guided by a simple belief: there should be a seat for every woman and mother who needs one.
Whether someone is trying to become a mother, grieving the loss of a pregnancy or baby, adjusting to life postpartum, navigating changes within their relationship, or simply trying to find themselves within motherhood, I want them to know there is space for their experience here. They do not need to have the right words, a clear diagnosis, or a perfectly defined reason for reaching out.
There is a seat for them.
I provide both individual and couples counselling and welcome referrals for women and families navigating fertility and infertility, pregnancy, reproductive and birth trauma, pregnancy and infant loss, pregnancy after loss, postpartum mental health concerns, relationship transitions, identity changes, and the broader emotional experience of motherhood.
