Melissa MacNeill
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC, Certified EFIT, EFCT, and EFFT Therapist, MACP
Depression is a natural response to feelings of loneliness and hopelessness. If you're feeling disconnected from others, or lacking confidence in your abilities to accomplish your desires, depression naturally follows. 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. I'll work with you to help you develop the confidence to reengage with life and the people you love.

Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
Depression is one of the most prevalent and wide-ranging mental health experiences our therapists work with at Nightingale Counselling, spanning everything from mild feelings of sluggishness and disconnection to severe, life-disrupting episodes that affect every aspect of daily functioning. One of the most common questions our counsellors hear is "Is this depression?" and part of our work is helping clients gain clarity about what they are experiencing, because understanding the nature of depression is itself an important step toward healing. Our approach to depression counselling combines practical stabilization strategies to help clients regain day-to-day footing with deeper therapeutic exploration of the root causes and triggers, building lasting resilience rather than simply managing symptoms.

Dana Millar Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MaCP, CCC
Everyone has mental health, and everyone falls somewhere on the mental health continuum between emotional well-being to not managing well, to crisis. If you are having trouble getting out of bed in the morning, not finding any enjoyment in the things that used to bring you pleasure, lacking energy, or feeling empty you might be moving the wrong way on the scale. In therapy, we can explore both short term and long term strategies so you can start to feel better and experience more resiliency for when times get tough.

Manisha Grewal
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I specialize in supporting you through depression with a compassionate, integrative approach. Together, we’ll use cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge negative thought patterns, acceptance and commitment approaches to reconnect with your core values, and mindfulness-based practices to cultivate gentle awareness of your emotions. Parts work helps us understand and soothe the inner critics that deepen despair, while emotion-focused methods guide you in processing underlying feelings. When meaningful, I also draw on spiritual/existential approaches to help you rediscover purpose and hope. My goal is to equip you with practical tools and heartfelt support so you can move from surviving to thriving.

Maria Yaglovski
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)
Depression is a common mental disorder. It is characterized by persistent sadness and a lack of interest or pleasure in previously rewarding or enjoyable activities. Depression can be challenging to manage on your own. In our therapy sessions, we work closely together to identify some of the negative beliefs and behaviors, explore relationships and experiences, and find better ways to cope and create new and healthy patterns. I help you develop new tools and techniques to continue supporting yourself even after therapy is completed.

Shaunna Grams, Grams Counselling Services Inc.
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
A key component with depression is disconnection: disconnection from flexible thoughts/emotions, disconnection from functional quality of life, and disconnection from self and other relationship. Oftentimes, we are the best ones at being critical and hard on ourselves. Learn ways to dial down your inner critic and explore other, often neglected, parts of your self. Using cognitive and behavioral strategies, you can tailor action plans that best fit your style of life.

Tracey MacKenzie
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CCC #7392
Depression comes in many shapes and forms -- situational, any kind of loss, seasonal, chronic, etc. And while depression takes many things from us, the biggest is the loss of the HOPE that things can be different. Guess what -- they CAN. My aim is to help you find that hope again and then start working our way back to strength, resiliency, contentment, and even happiness. It won't be overnight but it will happen. So let's start!

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
In my online work with clients across BC and Canada, I often see depression manifest as a heavy, protective numbness where the nervous system has entered a functional freeze state to endure overwhelming systemic weight. I will sit with you virtually in that quiet, heavy space without any pressure to immediately "fix" it or force artificial positivity. By working relationally and experientially, we can slowly welcome back your natural vitality and self-knowing at a pace that feels entirely secure to your body.

Depression
Dustin Hogan - Men's Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Depression is more than just feeling sad or down. You can't just "suck it up" or "tough out" when it comes to depression. Unfortunately, depression is incredibly common in men, and part of the reason for this is how society views depression in men.
Depression affects the way you think, feel and act, and depression can cause you to lose interest in activities you previously found enjoyable.
Even though depression can feel permanent, with the right tools and strategies, your life can significantly improve with treatment.

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.

Victoria is British Columbia's capital city and a major retirement destination, giving it an older demographic profile than most Canadian cities — one that generates consistent demand for therapists working with aging, loss, caregiver stress, and the psychological dimensions of life transitions in later years. The city's government-worker culture, combined with the University of Victoria and Royal Roads University, creates a well-educated population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and willing to engage in longer-term work. Island Health provides public mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Oak Bay, Saanich, and the Inner Harbour area. Victoria's separation from Metro Vancouver by water means specialist therapist access can be limited in some areas, with telehealth filling an important gap for clients seeking a specific type of match.
