Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I support clients with depression by exploring its emotional and relational roots. Through a psychodynamic lens, we look at how early experiences, self-critical patterns, and unexpressed feelings may shape the way depression shows up. Together, we work to understand what the depression may be protecting or expressing, creating space for relief, reconnection, and renewed self-understanding.

Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
Depression is more than sadness. It's the heaviness that makes small tasks feel impossible, the numbness that drains colour from things you used to love, the inner voice insisting nothing will change. But depression tells a convincing story, not a true one. You'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here to be honest about how hard things are without being rushed toward silver linings, and to gently rebuild from where you actually are. The goal isn't just to manage symptoms, it's to genuinely understand what's underneath them, replace what's depleting you with habits that nourish you, and reconnect with what brings you meaning. Together we'll work toward feeling more present, more hopeful, and more like yourself again.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel heavy, numb, or overwhelmed by even small tasks? Many people living with depression have learned to push through, hide their feelings, or tell themselves they shouldn’t feel this way. Sadness, emptiness, fatigue, or hopelessness may have gone unspoken or been misunderstood, making it harder to feel connected to yourself or others.
These experiences aren’t a personal failure—they’re meaningful signals that something needs care and attention. What matters is how we support you when they show up. Together, we can gently explore what you’ve been carrying, understand how depression has been affecting you, and find ways to help you feel more supported, more present, and a little lighter over time. You feel this way for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Depression Therapy: Uncovering What’s Been Silenced
Depression often speaks the language of what’s been suppressed—unmet needs, unspoken emotions, and parts of the self that haven’t felt safe to be seen. It’s not just a low mood or lack of motivation; it’s a signal that something deeper is asking to be acknowledged.
My approach centers on awareness, reflection, and integration. Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, mindfulness, and psychosomatic insight, we explore the emotional and subconscious layers beneath the surface. This work invites:
• Recognition of the feelings and needs that have been pushed down or overlooked
• Practical tools to navigate emotional heaviness and inner criticism
• Space to understand relational dynamics and internalized beliefs
• Mind-body practices that support presence, regulation, and reconnection
This process isn’t about fixing—it’s about listening. It’s about meeting what’s been silenced with compassion and curiosity, and allowing that awareness to guide meaningful change.

Jonathan Snowball, Anxiety and Depression Psychotherapist in Ontario
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA, MDiv
Depression can affect anyone and is treatable. As a mood disorder, it can alter a person’s feelings and interactions with the people and things around them.
Using approaches such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT), we can develop coping strategies together. We can work on learning positive skills that quieten negative inner commentary. As well we can look into ways of communicating better, speaking up for one’s self and addressing situations that worsen depression symptoms.

Steph Paolucci
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, Registered Yoga Teacher
Depression can be caused by multiple factors and has varying symptoms, making it a disorder that is not so straightforward. Therefore, increasing your awareness of the processes that make your depressive state linger would be necessary. This means identifying the thoughts, behaviours, emotions, situations, history etc., that have led to depression becoming a part of your life. Once there is an awareness and understanding of depression, techniques and coping mechanisms can be developed to help you improve your mood, increase your motivation and get back your interest in pleasurable activities. The techniques range from CBT strategies to mindfulness work or somatic work. The exact methods will depend on your strengths and what will suit your lifestyle, but the overall goal is to help you find ways to feel good again.

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.

Depression
Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Depression can feel like a never-ending dark tunnel in which hope, purpose, joy, and motivation to live life can seem impossible. Depression can also lead us to feel disconnected from the very things that make life worth living and it can also make reaching out for help challenging. Should you decide to reach out for help, I will work with you to safely explore how depression has been affecting you and identify some of the factors that may have led you to feel depressed. I will also support you in developing tools to cope with depression so that you can experience a greater sense of connection and purpose within your life. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
