Perinatal Counseling

We believe that mental and emotional health is equally as important as physical health in the perinatal period. That is why we are so pleased to work alongside Adrienne Carruthers, RM, MSW.

As a Registered Midwife and Registered Social Worker with special focus and training in perinatal mental health, Adrienne Carruthers offers a unique counseling perspective.

If you are pregnant or up to 6 weeks postpartum you may qualify for MSP-covered counselling.

  • REGISTERED MIDWIFE, REGISTERED SOCIAL WORKER (MSW) (she/her)

    Hi! My name is Adrienne and I’m thrilled to be a part of the Rosehips team. I’m an intentional solo-parent and have one young kiddo. I moved to the traditional territories of the Lekwungen peoples after graduation from midwifery school, and I couldn’t be happier to call this place home. I have been a Registered Midwife since 2013, and a Registered Social Worker since September 2023. Through these two professional lenses I hope to help you make sense of the challenges of pregnancy and postpartum by offering additional mental health support.

    Through my social work education I have been taught about the benefits of unconditional positive regard on therapeutic relationships, and strive to impart that in our work together. My counseling style is informed by narrative therapy, as well as the theories of polyvagal somatic embodiment, and attachment.

    With a referral from your primary care provider in pregnancy, I offer MSP-covered 1:1 relational counselling to help you along your reproductive journey and up to 6 weeks postpartum.
