Erica Djossa is the CEO and founder of Momwell, and a registered psychotherapist specializing in maternal mental health with over a decade of experience. As a mother of three rambunctious young boys, Erica understands first-hand the challenges of motherhood. Perfectionism, pressure, and loss of identity fueled her battle with postpartum depression, and she realized how difficult it is to seek care. She founded Momwell to set a standard of care for providers and ensure mom-centred specialized mental health support at any stage of motherhood.

Erica is also a regular media contributor. She has been featured in Time Magazine, USA Today, The Toronto Star, Cityline, Breakfast Television, Scary Mommy, Medium, PopSugar, and Romper. Her graphics have been shared by celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Ashley Graham, Nia Long, Hilaria Baldwin, Christy Turlington, and Adrienne Bosh. Erica is passionate about inclusive, accessible maternal mental healthcare, advocacy for women, and redefining the expectations of motherhood. She believes that moms everywhere should be able to define the role for themselves, retain their identities in motherhood, and break away from patterns of gender norms, unrealistic pressures, and socialized expectations.
