Jaime Robson, MSW, RSW: 
Social Worker, Registered Psychotherapist 


With a deep curiosity for the human condition, Jaime practices Integrative Therapy combining elements drawn from various methods (including EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness, and the Tri-Phasic Trauma Practice Model) to create a tailored approach for each individual and situation.

Jaime's own fertility journey inspired her passion for working with women and families. She brings a strengths-based, solution-focused approach to care, an awareness that healing is a collaborative endeavour, and an understanding that the therapeutic relationship is as meaningful as the therapy itself.
​ 

Modalities: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, the Tri-Phasic Trauma Practice Model, and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga.

Areas of care: Trauma (PTSD); Reproductive Health and Fertility; Maternal Wellness (Prenatal, Postpartum); Grief; Anxiety and Depression; Gender-Based Violence; Religious Oppression; Communication and Voice; Personal Growth..
Jaime is a PhD candidate and a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. She is also a member of EMDR Canada, and the Ontario Association of Social Workers.

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.

​Susan Haller MSW RSW, Psychotherapist

Hi, my name is Susan and I am one of the psychotherapists at Yoga Mamas. I am a graduate of the University of Waterloo in Applied Health Sciences and of Wilfrid Laurier University with a Master of Social Work. In addition I have recently completed certificates in Perinatal Mental Health and Birth and Reproductive Trauma through Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Trainings.
I am a trained clinician with over 20 years of experience, registered with my professional college (OCSWSSW) and my services are covered by most insurance providers. I have developed a passion for women’s health and wellness through my work in hospitals, community, primary care and private practice. As well, am the mother of 5 adult children and grandmother of 6 which gives me both lived experience and keeps me up to date on the joys and challenges of present day parenthood.

Perhaps you are struggling with infertility, or questioning whether or not you would like to become a parent. Maybe you have suffered losses in the process of trying to start a family. You might be a new parent and struggling with hormonal shifts, lack of sleep, challenges with feeding and wondering how to divide household labour between you and your partner. Perhaps
your partner relationship is strained with the welcome of your new baby, or one of your children is having difficulty adjusting to a new sibling. Maybe you are experiencing difficulties setting boundaries with extended family members, or finding it difficult to ask for what you need from others. You might be dealing with a role transition from being a full time professional to a full time parent, or are worried about your parenting skills. Maybe you have been managing mood challenges successfully, but the birth of a child has impacted your ability to do so because of the intense demands of parenting. Perhaps the pandemic has increased your sense of isolation or
your health anxiety and you are navigating back to some sort of normalcy. Or maybe you are simply exhausted!

These are some of the issues I am hearing about and would be happy to help you navigate, along with anything else you would like to discuss. As well, I would highly recommend the books Baby Bomb by Kara Hoppe and Stan Tatkin and Impossible Parenting by Olivia Scobie. Both are available in audiobook format for busy parents, and in print form in the Yoga Mamas gift
shop. 
I invite you to make a virtual appointment for a free 20 minute consultation to see if we would be a good fit. Looking forward to chatting with you!

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Book your counselling appointment via our website 24/7, or by contacting our client service team. Once your appointment is scheduled, you will receive an automated confirmation email. If your appointment is in virtual, prior to your appointment you will receive your online appointment link. Simply click the link, review the privacy policy and meet with your counsellor at the scheduled time.

Your Initial Therapy Session
During your first counselling appointment, we will focus on creating a comfortable and safe experience 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.

We 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. 
 
The approach is relationship-focused, gentle, and creative. We use evidence-based modalities to help us in the work:
  • Emotion-Focused Therapy
  • Narrative Therapy
  • Relational Therapy
  • Somatic Psychology
  • CBT and DBT tools
  • Mindfulness
Prioritizing Your Self Care: Why You Should Make A Counselling Appointment
​​Fertility
With fertility clients we talk about all of the things that come with a fertility journey including worries and fears, hopes and expectations and the emotions associated with the current health climate impacting fertility treatments.

Pregnancy
Some of things we talk about with prenatal mamas include worries and fears, common themes around birthing and labour and what that process might look like with special consideration focused on recent changes to birthing support. Transitions from work life to mom life, relationships with a partner, and anything that can feel overwhelming on your journey in pregnancy. 

Postpartum
Some of things we talk about with postpartum mamas include new life as a mom, adjusting from work life to maternity leave, fears and anxiety, intrusive thoughts, external circumstances impacting your overall well-being as well as anything going on in relationships and new dynamics.

A Note About yoga Mamas' Cancellation Policies

Please note that we do not offer refunds. Each event/course/training/wellness appt has it's own specific cancellation policy which is listed on each registration page. Please take the time to read these in full prior to registering.  Each event/appointment that we run is in partnership with a practitioner who is focusing their independent career in pre and postnatal health. This is their beautiful livelihood. This is why we have these policies in place. Thank you very much for your understanding. Jamie Kalynuik, Founder of Yoga Mamas
