Our therapy sessions aim to provide a deep understanding of your unique experience with depression.

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.
