Life can feel overwhelming with lots of ups and downs. Depression can feel like a bottomless pit, I offer a foot-hold or hand out of the pit of depression – often a big part of this may be rediscovering or integrating self care.

It is normal to feel sad at times, but when persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness and worthlessness consume you, you may be experiencing depression. This may include loss of pleasure and interest in activities you used to enjoy, changes in sleep and weight, and difficulty concentrating. As your therapist, I can help you to identify unhelpful thought patterns and resulting behaviours and replace them with more helpful patterns to improve your mood.

Depression is more than just a passing mood; it's a pervasive experience that can profoundly impact one's life, affecting emotions, thoughts, and daily functioning. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we address depression with an integrative, relational, and trauma-informed approach, recognizing its complex and multifaceted nature.
Our therapy sessions aim to provide a deep understanding of your unique experience with depression.

In treating depression, we utilize a combination of therapeutic techniques tailored to each individual's needs. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) plays a significant role in addressing negative thought patterns and behaviors that fuel depression. 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.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
Anger turned inward, often results in depression. Yes there are bio chemical causes for depression, but in my 25 year plus experience, depression is almost never simply a brain chemistry issue. And as a holistic psychotherapist, I find that people who have mild to medium depression can often overcome it with a combination of talk therapy, unpacking family of origin messaging, unpacking low self value as well as inner exploring of believes.. All this, in addition to bringing in natural amino acid supplementation. This combination has been immensely effective in neutralizing the beast that depression can be.
Note: If a client has suicidal ideation, a person does need to have a medical person on their team to navigate possible allopathic medication to create the very important brain balance they need to be able to unpack some difficult therapeutic content.

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.
