Chanel Wainscott
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), PMH-C
I'm a psychotherapist (qualifying) and perinatal mental health specialist with seven years of experience working in various mental health settings throughout Grey Bruce, Ontario.
A common experience amongst all who I've crossed paths with professionally is caregiver burnout. I've witnessed the courage, fear, and ups and downs experienced in a society where our "village" is scarce.
My passion for perinatal mental health was born from my first experience with postpartum mood and anxiety. I have never felt as scared as I have, yet so courageous, going through it. I was dead set on learning all that I could about perinatal mental health. I decided to get certified in perinatal psychotherapy through Postpartum Support International.
The sense of clarity and validation I've gained from persevering through my journey with the guide of therapy is a feeling I can only hope other parents will be able to experience.
