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).

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.

Ryta Marie Peschka
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Can we transform emotional pain into personal growth and find hope? I can help you become aware of how certain negative automatic thoughts, beliefs and expectations contribute to feelings of anxiety and sadness. Often these automatic negative thought patterns are developed as a result of a past painful and difficult experience. They determine how we deal with loss, change, conflict and social interactions. Supporting you in identifying and understanding these thought patterns, can help resolve problems in maintaining relationships and establish a stronger sense of self-worth. Schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit for therapy.

Philippa Klein
Counsellor/Therapist, PSW, MSW
It has been an isolating and particularly stressful era. If you struggle with low mood and depression, it has been an extremely isolating time. A first step to tackling depression is to reach out and talk. The advantage to remote therapy is that you simply have to open your device and start this process.

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?
