Leigh Berry
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, RHN
Helping women surface from the fog of depression. Depression can literally can feel like you have been existing in a fog or bad dream for weeks on end. You may be experiencing low energy and motivation to do much of anything, continuous low mood, increased sensitivity and tearfulness, irritability, or thinking you are unworthy or not good enough. Together, we will work to uncover the root causes behind your thoughts, feelings and symptoms to provide you with concrete, practical tools you can use to support difficult emotions. From working together you can develop awareness and insight into thought and behaviour patterns, while learning to relate more amicably to the emotions gripping and pushing you around. When we do this, we can focus more on what matters in our life.

Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Depression can make you feel hopeless and powerless, especially when it goes unnoticed or is dismissed as just having the 'blues.' Acknowledging the condition and its impact on our quality of life is the first step to regaining control for the present and hope in a brighter future.

Melanie Fuller
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Each person has their own description of what depression is like for them. Often, people express feelings, thoughts, and bodily experiences of 'stuckness', 'lack of motivation', the sense of 'hopelessness' (to name only a few). In psychotherapy, I will collaborate with you to form a treatment plan which addresses the fundamental challenges of clinical depression.

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.

EMDR Therapy Toronto - Heal Anxiety, PTSD, Childhood Trauma - Ayan Mukherjee
Registered Psychotherapist, Certified EMDR Therapist & Consultant
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.

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?
