Kristine Aanderson was the first psychologist in Western Canada certified in the treatment of pregnancy and post-partum mental health by Postpartum Support International.
She has over a decade of experience working with parents in all stages of their journey, from fertility, to pregnancy, loss, and postpartum.
She has specialized experience and training in OCD/Scary Thoughts in pregnancy and postpartum, Severe Morning Sickness/HG, ADHD in motherhood, pregnancy loss/neonatal loss, TFMR, birth trauma, NICU/ICN stays, and working with the LGBTQ2S+ community.
Kristine provides a non-judgemental space to provide support and strategies.
Almost 60% of mothers with ADHD will struggle after having children
Have you tried to make things better and it doesn't work?
Commonly used tools to manage mental health symptoms can be unhelpful or unrealistic in motherhood and tools built for neurotypical people often don't work when you have ADHD.
Specialized tools are needed for both motherhood and ADHD to address the problems and find a way forward.
Let me help you to identify your strengths, learn strategies that work, and grow in a non-judgemental, neurodivergence-affirming environment - that's how you achieve your goals.
My office has entirely self-contained air exchange and has a high-performance air filter, meaning that in-person sessions have minimal exposure from ventilation.
All clients must be prepared wear a KN95 mask (or equivalent) which is available at most DollarStores or for purchase at my office at cost (between $2-$5).
You will be required to wear a mask to an in person appointment if you have any symptoms if illness, if you have been exposed to others with illnesses or if I have an in person client within one hour after your appointment who may be immune compromised or have other health risk factors.
Please only come to the waiting area (inside the main door) 5 minutes before the start of your session.
