It's ok to feel overwhelmed. You have been through a lot.

If you are reading this, then chances are you have struggled with infertility and are now wondering if you should join Dr. Sen’s newborn group.  I have two words for you; Do it!  I lived through 6 years of infertility issues and Dr. Sen was with my husband and I from the start!  I don’t think I could have managed getting through the mountain of obstacles we would endure during this time without the support and help from Dr. Sen

I’m Dr. Julia Sen. I am a Registered Clinical and Counselling Psychologist in Ontario with over 20 years of experience in individual, group, and couples counselling..

I believe that psychotherapy is based on providing a warm, safe, and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable expressing their emotions and needs..

When my children were 3 and 6 years old, I started to feel exhausted and lost. Until then, I had done all that was “expected” of me. I got married, completed my PhD, became a licensed Psychologist, found a niche, and started a practice.

I had my children during my PhD, which included fertility treatments, and I continued to live life living up to other’s expectations and I wasn’t feeling very alive. To be perfectly honest, I was feeling like life was just a thing to get through, even though I had the blessing of a family, friends, and a great career.

As a psychologist I am very privileged and grateful that being curious about relationships, events, and the self are part of my career. So I spent a great deal of time exploring and understanding patterns and the impacts of those patterns. 

Through my curiosity, experience, and love of solving puzzles I expanded my own growth and created various transformation programs to creatively unlock our innate wisdom so we can navigate life with greater ease and flow. 

With a special interest in parenting, fertility, and inner child work, I believe anything is possible – that’s why they call me The Possibility Psychologist™.

I am so excited to help you awaken the possibility within yourself.

I had my children during my PhD, which included fertility treatments, and I parented as I thought I should. But something always felt off to me. 

I watched as my children became little “obeyers,” trying to keep us pleased. At first, it seemed great that they were learning to “listen,” but soon after, I realized their unique sensitivities and curious personalities were starting to fade. 

I decided to change how I parented. I challenged expectations and norms and I witnessed incredible changes and growth in my children that I never imagined!

I have been a patient of Dr. Julia Sen’s since 2013. The weight of a very long struggle with infertility strained many parts of my life and before I knew it I was sitting in front of the only person who would be able to pull me from my downward emotional spiral. Through our work together Julia made me realize that I had both the power and the tools to deal with the obstacles that had landed me in her office on that blessed day. A few years into our sessions I did become a mother, but I realized that my healing had just begun and that Dr. Sen would be one of the most instrumental people on my journey

"After our first session, I knew right then and there, I’d made the right choice. I felt supported by Dr. Sen and these new moms. They understood what I was feeling because they were in it too. We were there for each other. I felt safe to share my greatest fears, and what I thought were my biggest mistakes as a new mom. These ladies never judged. They listened and “held my hand” virtually. Dr. Sen guided us on this extraordinary journey and held a safe space for all of us.  With Dr. Sen's guidance and support, I learned how to take care of myself, set boundaries and how to care for my baby in the most healthiest way possible. I cannot recommend this program enough. It is the best investment I made for myself, my baby (who is now a toddler!) and my family."
