Dennis Keefe
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A.
My approach to depression is usually to start with the basics. Is the client getting enough sleep, sunlight, proper nutrition, exercise/movement, social contact? I also like to use CBT, particularly behavioural activation, to see if we can start to implement small behaviours that help lift the client a bit. This is then accompanied by deeper discussions about what the client's experience is. Have they lost a sense of control or meaning in their lives? How can we increase motivation and agency?

Brianna Hogan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Depression can be crippling -- affecting all areas of life. Some liken it to laying in a dark pit, and others describe feeling as though they are the walking dead. While it can feel all consuming, depression does not have to steal the rest of your life. You are not alone. With me you have a partner and ally with years of experience, committed to walking through this journey with you on your path towards freedom.

Emma Heutschi
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed. Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychotherapist
It is normal to feel sad at times, but when persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness and worthlessness consume you, you may be experiencing depression. This may include loss of pleasure and interest in activities you used to enjoy, changes in sleep and weight, and difficulty concentrating. As your therapist, I can help you to identify unhelpful thought patterns and resulting behaviours and replace them with more helpful patterns to improve your mood.

Gwen Schauerte
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, M.Ed.
Depression symptoms can be varied and include impacts on sleep, energy level, mood and motivation. One may feel little energy to even address the problem. Working together on small attainable goals is just one approach to address depression. Mild and moderate levels of depression are highly treatable; let me help.

Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
While working with depressed people my job is to emphasize security, structure, and learning.
My approach is to provide support and appreciation for your efforts as opposed to supporting more than frustration.
If you are a depressed person you are probably frustrating yourself enough as it is, am I right?
And it feels permanent! Well, it isn't.
During therapy you will first learn how to accept support from your surroundings.
Then you will learn to create a system of self-support with support.
Our work will centre around a primary task of creating a safe environment, a safe relational field, in which your self-healing powers can be activated.
Psychotherapy, on its own or with combination with antidepressants, is now known to be an effective treatment for depression" (Roubal, 2007).
The problem is you aren't going to solve anything laying in bed!
Come lay on my couch, with your unshowered self and let's be depressed together.
You don't have to do depressed alone.
Call me.

Sarah Elizabeth McMillan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
Mental health support for physical illness, pain and uncertainty. We know that anxiety, depression and chronic stress often occur in tandem with or as a result of physical illness but these can be overlooked or we may fear addressing these mental health challenges directly. Feelings of sadness, despair and hopelessness are common reactions and can be hard to deal with on your own. Other signs to take note of are low mood, loss of interest in activities you once found pleasure in, increased fatigue and changes in sleep. You do not have to go through this alone.

Depression is a form of Submit response that you are body can activate when it believes that it can't reasonably fight or flight its way out of the current situation. It can also be activated as a result of internalized or frozen anger from the past, or frozen and unresolved grief. My approach to depression is to use attachment-focused trauma modalities to gently lift you out of the Submit response, mobilize energy, improve embodiment of anger if needed, feel and release grief associated with deficit trauma from childhood, as needed.
