I’m Emily, founder of Maternal Health Niagara. With 20 years of experience and lived perinatal insight, I created Niagara’s first perinatal mental health clinic—supporting individuals, couples, and families through the perinatal period and beyond.
The journey into and through parenthood can be deeply transformative, complex, and life-changing — encompassing experiences such as fertility challenges, pregnancy, perinatal loss, birth, and the postpartum period.
Since opening in St. Catharines in 2017, Maternal Health Niagara has provided trauma-focused mental health therapy for individuals, couples, and families across Niagara and virtually throughout Ontario. While our work is strongly rooted in perinatal and maternal mental health, we also support clients navigating anxiety, relationships, grief, identity, trauma, and major life transitions across the lifespan.
Our approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in connection, safety, and trust. We believe therapy should honour your unique experiences while creating space for healing, self-understanding, and meaningful growth.
We are committed to meeting you where you are and helping connect you with a clinician who aligns with your needs, preferences, and goals.
Thank you for inviting us to be part of your circle of support.
Warmly,
Emily Pollak, MSW, RSW
Founder

We believe meaningful care begins with the right therapeutic fit, and we are committed to helping clients find support that feels aligned with their needs and goals. We value ongoing check-ins and welcome feedback throughout your care journey.

We honour the privilege of being part of your care journey and recognize the vulnerability that comes with seeking support. Our approach is grounded in compassion, connection, and trauma-focused care.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. We take an integrative approach tailored to your unique experiences, needs, and goals.

We value therapeutic connection, ongoing collaboration, and open feedback throughout your care journey.
Maternal Health Niagara

At Maternal Health Niagara, we acknowledge that we gather on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples on Turtle Island.
We are grateful for the enduring presence, knowledge, and strength of Indigenous communities, and for the ways they continue to foster connection, healing, and care. We honour the importance of community and recognize that we are all connected.
Our team is committed to social justice and to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our work. We practice with cultural humility and are guided by anti-racist and anti-oppressive frameworks.
We acknowledge the harm that systems, including the field of social work, have caused Indigenous communities, and the ongoing impacts of systemic and intergenerational trauma. We are committed to ongoing learning, reflection, and accountability in how we show up in our work.
