Seven Vistas - Professional Life Coach and Counsellor
Counsellor/Therapist, PCC, RPC-C, NLP Master Practitioner
Low energy, no ambition, procrastination, immobilization and so much more attaches to this friend we call depression. Yes, friend indeed. I know it feels like it is there to harm us, keep us down, but it is just a messenger. So what is it saying? How do we figure out what it is saying, telling us, warning of about? Well, we can...just takes support and trained ears.

Lisa Willow
Counsellor/Therapist, BSW, MSW, ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider
Depression often accompanies ADHD. A life time of experiencing struggles with self regulation, masking symptoms, feeling hopeless and without proper support can lead to depression. I use CBT and DBT to help support individuals reframe negative thoughts, while coaching encouraging behaviour change to facilitate motivation, in order to help you meet your goals.

Dustin Hogan - Men's Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Depression is more than just feeling sad or down. You can't just "suck it up" or "tough out" when it comes to depression. Unfortunately, depression is incredibly common in men, and part of the reason for this is how society views depression in men.
Depression affects the way you think, feel and act, and depression can cause you to lose interest in activities you previously found enjoyable.
Even though depression can feel permanent, with the right tools and strategies, your life can significantly improve with treatment.

Shannon MacGregor
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC, MTC, CLC
Depression is a low mood that lasts for a long time, and affects your everyday life. It starts as sadness. If prolonged, it then feels like you’re shutting down and becoming less capable of coping. Eventually, you’ll feel numb and empty, and possibly suicidal. Effective treatment can be a mix of psychotherapy, medication, and lifestyle changes.

Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
While everyone feels down from time to time, the experience of clinical depression is something else entirely. Clinical depression can include many physical symptoms, like changes in energy, exhaustion, sleep problems, and body pains, as well as overwhelming negative thoughts that can make it difficult to think that you will ever feel better. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, we will slowly work on identifying these negative thoughts and slowly help you start doing the things that are important to you in your life, which breaks the cycle of depression.

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Depression can be a sign of many repressed emotions - it takes so much energy to keep our emotions quiet and stored that we lose our life energy. Exploring our depression in a safe, non-judgemental space can transform it.
