Whitney Reinhart
Registered Psychotherapist, MA., RP.
Depression can often make us feel stuck in feelings of hopelessness, despair, and shame. When we live in these painful feelings, we can disconnect from ourselves and others. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to express yourself and the painful thoughts and feelings that you have been experiencing. Together we will build an understanding of how your past influences your current emotional and mental state, and use this understanding to process your pain and foster positive feelings about yourself, others, and the world.

Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Depression is a result of non-processed grief, which itself comes from a sense of loss. It is the mechanism through which the mind tries to “take it easy” and focus on the loss. However, in today’s society, we do our best to avoid it or even deny it. Sometimes, we take the easy way of medication so that we do not face this darkness inside. A successfully therapy accompanies the client through this journey of introspection and creates supportive environment in which the client faces the loss. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

MindfulWe Holistic Psychotherapy & Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, IMD (candidate)
Depression can be a storm of varying degrees. The longer we stay in the storm, the harder it is to get out of it. The longer it continues, the more we feel that it will never end. As much as people say "this will pass" and as true and factual as it may be, it can be hard to believe it in those moments of depression. Depression is a fog that can and will lift, with your active effort. There are several proven strategies that have helped people move into the light. I would be honored to help you remove your current lens thats fogged up and see a new way, a way of your choice.
