meet your therapist
Hi, I’m Sam Welsh (she/her)
Registered Clinical Counsellor | Perinatal Couples & Relationship Therapist — grounded, attuned, and deeply relational.
I’m a couples therapist with a focus on the perinatal period — the time during pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood when so much is changing, so fast.
This work is where all of my skills come together. The emotional intensity of this season — the love, the rupture, the exhaustion, the unexpected joy — makes it one of the most powerful windows for growth in a relationship. It’s also one of the most vulnerable.
Holding space for who you are, and who you’re becoming — as individuals and as a couple.
In sessions, I offer a grounded, empathetic space where both partners feel seen and heard. We talk about what’s difficult, yes — but we also take time to name what’s good, strong, and working between you. That part often surprises people.
This isn’t surface-level work. It’s honest, tender, and practical. Whether you’re navigating resentment, disconnection, identity shifts, intimacy, or simply trying to stay close when everything’s changing — you don’t have to figure it out alone.
a little more about me…
Outside the therapy room, I’m raising two spirited boys and two equally chaotic dogs. My life, perhaps like yours, is full of noise, love, mess, and motion — which gives me a deep respect for what it takes to stay connected in the midst of it all. I bring that lived understanding to my work, along with steadiness and warmth.
