Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., Registered Psychotherapist
If you are struggling with overwhelming feelings of sadness that impact day to day functioning, you may be suffering from depression.
Beyond feelings of sadness, other symptoms might include being in an irritable mood, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt, low self-esteem, difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite, loss of energy, and/or difficulties concentrating.
These symptoms impair a person, preventing them from living their lives at school, work, or at home.
At its worst, depression leads to thoughts about ending one’s life.

FREE consultations! When we are feeling depressed it can feel as nothing will help, not even therapy. Depression can take the joy and colour out of life and paint a vision of a future for us where nothing seems to matter and no hope seems to be coming. Our minds can focus on the problems that we are experiencing in the present moment and tell us that these problems are fixed, unchangeable, and overwhelming. No amount of 'trying harder' seems to work; neither does the suggestion others might give us to 'snap out of it.' If only it were so easy. While depression can feel unmoveable; psychotherapy is an evidence-based way to tackle feelings of depression. This is true regardless of whether you are experiencing passing negative mood states that you want to improve or going through a full-blown depression episode. Psychotherapy helps. Approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can give us new ways to approach the exhaustion, tiredness, and hopelessness that often come along with depression. It's not about trying harder; it's about working differently, learning new ways to work with the thoughts, feelings, and automatic behaviours that come along with depression that set up a vicious cycle bringing us in further negative mood states. If you are struggling with depression, I can help. I will provide you with a non-judgmental, understanding, and caring space to explore what's going on for you. We'll also set goals for our work together and using evidence-based approaches and strategies start to move towards a future where depression continues to fade into the background and your life, dreams, goals, and future seem real and hopeful again. I offer a free no obligation phone consultation and would be happy to work with you.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
Anger turned inward, often results in depression. Yes there are bio chemical causes for depression, but in my 25 year plus experience, depression is almost never simply a brain chemistry issue. And as a holistic psychotherapist, I find that people who have mild to medium depression can often overcome it with a combination of talk therapy, unpacking family of origin messaging, unpacking low self value as well as inner exploring of believes.. All this, in addition to bringing in natural amino acid supplementation. This combination has been immensely effective in neutralizing the beast that depression can be.
Note: If a client has suicidal ideation, a person does need to have a medical person on their team to navigate possible allopathic medication to create the very important brain balance they need to be able to unpack some difficult therapeutic content.

Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Depression is a mental disorder that is an improperly used term in pop media as it is normal for us to feel down from time to time. A person experiencing depression is experiencing more than just sadness, they are feeling a severe kind of despair that occurs over a significant period, and thus affects every aspect of their life.

EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Depression expose a poignant narrative of emotional disconnection and unresolved wounds. Trauma experiences and attachment bond breakdowns, which have their roots in early relationships, can leave behind lasting effects that affect how people view themselves and the world as adults. Like a heavy shroud, depression envelops individuals in a fog of despair and hopelessness, echoing the ache of unmet emotional needs and the scars of past hurts. Therapy becomes a sanctuary for exploration, offering a safe space to navigate the labyrinth of emotions and unearth the roots of despair. By addressing attachment wounds and processing traumatic experiences, individuals can begin to rewrite their narratives, cultivating resilience and rediscovering a sense of connection and purpose amidst the darkness.
