Charlie Young
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC #22791
Depression is not always sadness — it can be numbness, withdrawal, irritability, fatigue, appetite changes, or physical symptoms, and often everything simply takes more effort than it used to, and has for a while. You might be functioning in some areas and running on empty in others, or notice that the way you talk to yourself has become critical. We start exactly where you are, and I aim to listen to what you need in each moment. I'm a queer and trans RCC providing virtual therapy across BC, specializing in gender-affirming care, hormone readiness assessments, and identity exploration, though any topic is welcome — and I'll use your name and pronouns from our first contact. Often our environments don't support us the way we need them to, and I help name that context rather than treating it as a problem arising within you. During the free 15-minute consult we'll talk about what brings you to counselling and how I can help.

Karen Baker
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CTP Dipl
Depression can be the quiet result of years spent putting others' needs ahead of your own, or believing your feelings didn't matter as much as someone else's. I work with clients to gently uncover these patterns, process what's underneath them, and reconnect with a fuller, more authentic sense of self.

It’s a complicated place to be once a person enters a cycle of depression, especially when they consider the kind of emotional energy they think they’ll need to get out of that cycle. It can often leave them feeling hopeless. I can help you find ways to regain a feeling of hope about your life.

Donna Wigmore Counselling Services
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, CT
I believe that our culture has had some very depressing impacts on many of us. In many ways, our culture is sick. While clinical depression is hard enough on its own, there are the heavy impacts of living with relationship stress, social injustices and discrimination, the climate crisis ad the stress of modern living. We all experience life differently, and need a unique approach to our well being, yet quite often we may find that depression begins when we take on false beliefs about ourself or the world. We can gently investigate this to untangle things and create space for you to be able to live with peace.

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.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
Depression isn’t laziness or weakness—it’s a signal from parts of you that feel exhausted, hopeless, or unseen.
If you're feeling numb, unmotivated, or like you’re moving through life in a fog, I see you. Depression often arises when parts of us carry heavy emotional burdens or feel like they’ve been carrying the weight of the world for too long. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic tools like TRE, I help you gently connect with these parts—not to fix or force change, but to understand, unburden, and heal. There is a way back to energy, purpose, and joy. You don’t have to do it alone.

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..."

Depression is a common yet serious mental health condition that profoundly affects how someone feels, thinks, and navigates daily life. It often shows up as a lingering sadness, a loss of interest in activities that once brought joy, and an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. If you or someone you know is experiencing depression, it’s important to understand that these feelings are valid and can be incredibly challenging to manage.
Many individuals also face physical symptoms such as fatigue, changes in appetite, and difficulty focusing, which can further complicate their experiences. Depression not only impacts personal well-being but can also strain relationships and hinder work performance, making everyday life feel even more daunting.
While the causes of depression can differ from person to person—often stemming from a mix of genetic, biochemical, environmental, and psychological factors—what's crucial to remember is that you are not alone. Recovery is possible, and there are effective treatment options available. Therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes can all play a role in managing symptoms and fostering healing.
Reaching out for help is a courageous step, whether it’s connecting with a mental health professional or leaning on supportive friends and family. Embracing support is vital, and taking that first step towards healing is something to be proud of. Remember, you deserve compassion and understanding as you navigate this journey.
