Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Getting to the root of one's depression, why it occurs, and how it presents itself is imperative in understanding how one can remedy it. By working with clients to explore and comprehensively understand their depression, we will be able to better manage, mitigate, or eliminate the cognitions, behaviours, and feelings tied to our depression. How we became depressed is only the first step in one's work on depression; figuring out how to create change, support, and maintain change is the bulk of it.

We also incorporate mindfulness practices to enhance present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, helping to alleviate symptoms of depression.
Our relational approach fosters a therapeutic alliance based on empathy, understanding, and trust. This approach not only helps in alleviating the symptoms but also focuses on building resilience and empowering you to lead a fulfilling life. We work collaboratively to identify and reinforce your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and foster a sense of hope and optimism.
