Lisha Cash, MSW, RSW: 
Social Worker, Psychotherapist 


Lisha is a counsellor and psychotherapist in Toronto. She completed her Master of Social Work at the University of Toronto, with a specialization in children and families. Lisha has a special interest in working with women as they navigate life and role transitions, specifically in the areas of pregnancy, motherhood, co-parenting, fertility, and loss. 

Lisha’s approach focuses on building a therapeutic relationship that encompasses trust and respect, while creating an environment that is safe for clients to explore the most sensitive areas of their lives. Working together with her clients, Lisha helps to identify their strengths and abilities, while helping empower clients to harness these in order to overcome obstacles in their lives. 

Each person is unique, therefore, Lisha utilizes a trauma-informed, eclectic approach to counselling, drawing from various theoretical orientations based on the client’s needs and presenting issues. These may include, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness-based practice, and Solution-Focused frameworks. Lisha has received perinatal mood and anxiety disorders training by Postpartum Support International, which focused on the components of care surrounding pre and postnatal depression and anxiety, with advanced training in psychotherapy.

Lisha’s passion for this work was further ignited when she became a mama herself in 2018.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Our cozy and confidential counselling room
Your Initial Therapy Session
​

At your first appointment, we will focus on creating a comfortable and safe space for you to share and talk about what has brought you to therapy. First sessions can move slowly, as we build trust and begin our therapeutic relationship together.

​I will support you if you are not sure where to start or what to talk about – this is common in therapy. We will begin to get a sense of what therapy will look like for you as we move through the session. Ideally, you will leave the first session with either increased clarity about what you have been feeling or with a specific strategy to practice in your daily life. 
Your On-going Therapy Work
Therapy work is highly individual. Sessions tend to unfold naturally, as we move toward your goals/needs. Some things we may work on include: connecting to and naming emotions, processing emotions in healthy ways, building trust with yourself, learning how to create boundaries or navigate certain relationships in your life, learning how to feel greater intimacy in your relationships, understanding the impact of different experiences you’ve had, identifying the role of anxiety and/or depression in your life, understanding and feeling grief or anger, supporting you to feel more understanding (and thus more control) of your mind and body. 
 
My approach is relationship-focused, gentle, and creative. I use evidence-based modalities to help us in the work:
  • Emotion-Focused Therapy
  • Narrative Therapy
  • Relational Therapy
  • Somatic Psychology
  • CBT and DBT tools
  • Mindfulness

Not feeling as connected to your pregnancy as you thought you would? Feeling guilty that you are not as excited as you feel you should be? Feeling sad or anxious about your pregnancy?

Come join us for warm tea and soothing guided conversation with psychotherapist and mama, Lisha Cash, as we explore all of these normal and common thoughts. Learn, share and connect with other mamas-to-be, as you acknowledge some of the complicated, pleasant, or sometimes unpleasant emotions that can surface in pregnancy.

In this workshop we will be utilizing movement, mindfulness and breath, in combination with psychotherapeutic work to build feelings of connection and bonding to your pregnancy.

Within the group, we will be exploring the ways in which one may feel disconnected to their pregnancy and the various reasons behind it, such as:
  • Fears and anxiety
  • Changing identity
  • Relationship with our partner
  • Social support
  • Relationship with our own parents
  • Work/life balance, and more.

The guided conversation component will be followed by restorative prenatal yoga led by Yoga Mamas’ Founder Jamie Kalynuik, that will centre on building awareness and connection to your physical body. We will build intention into the movement and breath work allowing you to connect to your emotions, and your babe, while focusing on self-love & self-care. This time is for you to bond with your pregnancy and celebrate your journey so far, in a self-loving and accepting way.

This event is open to all mamas-to-be in stage of their pregnancy.
