I'll help you identify how you're currently coping and explore new ways of engaging with your emotions. You'll experience a new way of interacting with the world that can help to alleviate negative feelings and amplify the joy you feel in life.

Liz Dean
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Depression is a deep hopelessness that colours and crowds out other things that are important to us. I can help you untangle your depression so you can see it clearly and understand how it impacts your self view, as I find the worst part of depression is that it is often misinterpreted by the self and others as a lack of effort or care and can lead to low self-esteem and self-blame. Anxiety can feel like a constant battle through negative thoughts, feelings or body sensations that crowd out other things that are important to us. I can help you untangle your anxiety so you can understand and see it and how it impacts your self view as I find the worst part of anxiety is that it is often misinterpreted by the self and others as a lack of effort or care and can lead to low self-esteem and self-blame. My goal is to help you hold all of this and help you find a new path forward.

Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
Depression is more significant than just sadness. It lasts longer, and because it can affect people’s lives in many different ways, from their energy levels, ability to focus or work, their ability to eat and sleep, their anxiousness, irritability, emotionality, and their relationships, it can feel more frightening. Talk therapy has been shown to be highly effective for helping people to overcome depression, it helps people find ways to cope with everyday stressors. Talk therapy helps us to gain a new perspective on our problems, find our voice and begin to ask for what we need.

Gui Mansilla
Registered Psychotherapist, Lawyer (Arg) M.Div (USA) Reg. Psychotherapist (CA) Coach (Ca)
Embark on a transformative journey to break free from the grips of depression with my client-centred approach that acknowledges both the chemical and behavioural dimensions of this relentless mental health challenge. In my over two decades of experience, encompassing more than 17,000 hours of direct client contact, I have dedicated myself to unravelling the complexities of depression.
I firmly believe that the roots of depression often lie in the soil of childhood neglect and trauma, making it imperative to identify its origins for effective healing. Guiding my clients to develop insight is just the beginning; we then traverse the path of acquiring new skills to address the unmet needs at the core of their struggle.
As clients learn to meet these needs, the shackles of depression gradually loosen, and the joy of living is rekindled. I infuse the therapeutic process with friendliness and entertainment, fostering an environment that promotes faster and more positive results.
If this resonates with you, I extend an invitation to a consultation. It would be an honour to explore the possibility of collaborating on your personal journey of healing and growth. Together, let's navigate the terrain of depression and rediscover the vibrant life that awaits beyond its shadow.

Jayson L. Mystkowski
Psychologist, Ph.D., ABPP
Courtesy of PsychCentral: "CBT works by helping you change any unhelpful thought processes that may be contributing to your depression. Through various techniques, CBT aims to do the following:
Identify and challenge negative thoughts: CBT teaches you to spot and challenge automatic negative thoughts linked to depression, like feeling helpless, hopeless, or worthless.
Restructure cognitive patterns: A therapist will work with you to reframe your interpretation of life events, altering any core beliefs that contribute to depressive symptoms.
Develop coping strategies: CBT teaches effective coping skills and problem-solving techniques to handle challenging situations.
Behavioral activation: Your CBT therapist will encourage you to do enjoyable things to fight against feeling withdrawn and inactive, common feelings in depression.
Relapse prevention: CBT not only treats current symptoms but also focuses on preventing future relapses by teaching strategies to maintain healthier thoughts and behavior patterns..."

Emotions, moods, including depression are natural responses to life events. When emotions, like profound sadness are happening. I work with you to understand when and how these emotions are activated. I will guide you in a process that will allow you to get unstuck from an emotion that is dominating and actions to move forward with your Self more in charge, with a return to observing your emotions as information rather than what feels like a chronic and confusing state.

Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Depression can be a sign of many repressed emotions - it takes so much energy to keep our emotions quiet and stored that we lose our life energy. Exploring our depression in a safe, non-judgemental space can transform it.

Lexi Gayne Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Living with depression often means feeling like a spectator in your own life, longing for the sense of lightness you see in everyone else. It is a heavy, isolating numbness that forces you to wear an exhausting mask just to get through the day. When everything feels like it's moving in slow motion and simply taking a shower feels like a monumental task, the future can seem impossibly out of reach. I want you to know that there is a gentle path back to yourself. In our work together, we will safely explore the roots of this heaviness without judgment. Healing often feels like a fog is slowly lifting, or like the lights are gradually being turned back on. It is about remembering what it feels like to genuinely want things for yourself, finding the energy to reconnect with those you love, and looking at tomorrow with a spark of curiosity instead of dread. You deserve to rediscover the quiet, profound joy of being an active participant in your own life.

Michelle Iulianella Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, BEd, MBA, MA, RCC
Depression shows up differently for everyone. It can show up as pervasive and persistent low mood, anger, sadness, hopelessness, helplessness and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities that once sparked happiness. It can also show up for people as feelings of worthlessness, shame and guilt, as well as trouble concentrating and making decisions. Depression can manifest in the body as fatigue, too much or too little sleep and marked changes in appetite. Reoccurring suicidal ideation and self-annihilation fantasies can also be common when one is experiencing clinical or situational depression. A complex interplay of factors can contribute to the development of depression, including brain chemistry, life stressors and genetic predisposition. Michelle knows that it is essential to seek help when experiencing depression; she works with clients who are experiencing chronic depression and situational depression as the result of life stressors.
