You don't have to do this alone

My goal is to accompany you toward greater self-understanding, compassion, and acceptance.

Meet Petra

Hello! My name is Petra Eperjesi (she/her). I am a therapist who specializes in compassionate care for the perinatal and postpartum experience. I have three young sons, including a set of twins, and I have a deep understanding of perinatal anxiety and depression, and the impact of trauma in those difficult first years of parenthood.

Have you ever felt like somehow you're doing it all wrong?

Often, when we’re struggling, we can get caught believing everything is our fault, that we are weak, or that we are somehow failing.

 

My goal is to accompany you toward greater self-understanding, compassion, and acceptance.

 

You don’t have to do this alone. 

My Approach

I bring warmth, compassion, and a sense of humour to therapy.

 

I draw from a variety of modalities including mindfulness-based cognitive behaviour therapy, narrative therapy, brief solution focused therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and others, depending on the preferences and goals of the person I’m supporting. 

Areas of Focus:

  • Perinatal mental health 

  • Postpartum depression, anxiety, and anger

  • Traumatic pregnancy and/or delivery 

  • NICU experiences 

  • Early Parenting support (ages 0-10) 

  • Multiple pregnancy and parenting multiples 

  • Perfectionism 

  • Self-esteem and self-worth 

Services

Services

Individual Psychotherapy for adults via virtual appointments.

 

The fee is $150 for a 50 minute session. Payment can be made via e-transfer or at the time of appointment.

Coverage

While psychotherapy services are not covered through OHIP, they are covered by many third-party insurance plans.

 

Following each session, you will receive an official receipt to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. It may be useful to check with your insurance provider prior to the first appointment to determine if coverage for counselling services are included in your plan. 

 

Psychotherapy receipts that have not been reimbursed by health insurance plans can be used to receive deductions on your taxes.

Cancellation Policy

If you will be unable to attend your scheduled session, please call or email Petra at least 24 hours in advance. Appointments cancelled the day of the scheduled session and missed appointments will result in the charge of the regular fee.

 

Exceptions may be made in cases of emergency.
