You don’t have to go through the darker months alone. 💛
Reach out to book a session with our mental health team!
Finding the right fit can be challenging, that’s why all of our therapists offer free 15-minute consultations to learn more about you and share their therapeutic styles.

We often hear people say, “I’ll wait till it gets worse” or “it’s not too bad yet.” Starting therapy can be one of the hardest steps, but it’s also one of the most meaningful.
If you know you’re typically impacted by the weather and Vancouver’s rainy months, come chat with one of our therapists. Not sure where to start? Email us at info@cayahealthcentre.com, and we’ll help you find the right fit. 🌧️🤍

Massage therapy has been shown to have positive effects on pregnant people, including a reduction in depression symptoms during pregnancy and postpartum (Field et al., 2009). In a literature review conducted in 2010, women who received massage therapy reported decreased levels of depression, anxiety, leg pain, and back pain. (Field, 2010).
Looking for pain or stress relief? Book to see one of our massage therapists today!

It is important to note that pre or postpartum massage may not be suitable for everyone. We encourage you to discuss the potential benefits and considerations with your healthcare provider to determine if it is the right approach for you!

We also have a pregnancy pillow! ☁️

Note that the above studies focused on the experience of cis-women who are pregnant. At CAYA, we welcome pregnant people of all genders. We acknowledge that there is limited research on the experience of perinatal massage for trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse people.

Have you heard of Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD)?

For some, sexual side effects from antidepressants like SSRIs and SNRIs don’t go away after stopping the medication. This can impact libido, arousal, and overall well-being—yet many people struggle to get a diagnosis or support.

If this sounds familiar, you aren’t alone. Seeking information, talking to a healthcare provider, and exploring supportive therapies can help.
