— Why we exist

Becoming a dad changes everything. 
It's profound and beautiful. 
But it's also really hard.

Whether it’s your first child or your fourth, a new baby can turn everyday life upside down. Sleep disappears. Routines and relationships change. You try to support your partner, keep up with work, learn what your baby needs, and still find time for the gym, your hobbies, or whatever helps you feel like yourself through all of it.

You might feel exhausted but overstimulated, quicker to react, more defensive than usual, or simply like you’re not handling things as well as you hoped. It’s a major life transition. It’s not supposed to be easy. And it can be surprisingly difficult to find support built specifically around the experience of being a dad.

Dad Therapy is a psychotherapy practice built specifically for fathers. Every therapist on our team is also a dad — so when you sit down, you're not explaining what it's like. We already know, because we've been there.

We're opening our doors in 2028, in-person in Ottawa and online. Until then, if you need support right now, please use one of the resources below.
