"Being part of Dr. Sen’s newborn group has helped me so much and I truly look forward to each and every session.  Dr. Sen and the other mamas create a comfortable, non-judgmental space where we can talk about anything.  There are even things we talk about that we have never spoken of to anyone else before. We talk each other through issues and Dr. Sen, provides us with guidance and practices that can help us in our everyday lives while raising a baby."

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 created various transformation programs to creatively unlock our innate wisdom and navigate life with greater ease and flow.

"As a first time mom I’ve experienced many challenges - from lack of sleep, mom guilt, finding “me” time (and what to do during that time!) to sadness and resentment. Julia’s newborn group gave me the tools to find moments to refuel during the day, to see that I am not alone in my feelings/struggles, and to know that I am doing my best. The support I have received has been very important to me coming into my new role as “mom” - something I somehow failed to consider while pregnant. This group is helping me to learn how to nurture all of my different roles in order to be my best self. I am so grateful for this experience and cannot recommend it enough!"

"If you are reading this, then chances are you... are now wondering if you should join Dr. Sen’s newborn group.  I have two words for you: Do it!"

- Renewed Parent Newborn Sessions™ Graduate

"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."
