Depression
Claire Benade
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Feeling down influences many aspects of our lives including our relationships, work, and ability to enjoy the things we once used to. I will work with you on strategies for coping as well as looking at the larger family dynamics (if relevant) to ensure the best support for everyone. I will help support you as we work through the thoughts and feelings you are having. Focusing on therapeutic relationship and building trust allows me to help support you while using a solution-focused lens.

Licensed Professional Counsellor, B.Ed, MACP, MPCC
Stress is part of life, but depression does not need to be. How you respond to stress is the result of the story you have told yourself about life and success. If you've gotten stuck in your story then change can seem difficult, or even impossible. That is, wherever there is struggle there is a story that is stuck in a repeat loop. Depression is a story about the past stuck in a repeat loop.
If you’re having trouble getting ahead of your depression, know that relief is possible, and success can be inevitable. It is not that you can’t handle what life presents, it is that you need to learn how to not only create relief, effectively and efficiently, but learn how to create, sustain, and maintain happiness and peace. The goal is not less depression. The goal is to thrive. There is a therapeutic focus on creating happiness and peace, as well a relieving depression.
If you have been feeling as though you can no longer stay on top of the depression, know that change, relief, healing and happiness are possible.
Often these are the symptoms of depression:
Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self?
Do these thoughts often enter your mind?
I am worthless and can’t do anything about it.
I feel guilty for just wanting to eat, sleep and be alone.
I hate who I am these days.
I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others.
I feel gut-wrenching pain, but no one understands.
My life and the world around me are dark. I hate it, but I can’t change it.
If you have had any variation of these thoughts and don’t feel like your usual self, chances are you may be suffering from depression.
Many of my clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not own them and that there are many options available to once again have hope for their lives.
If you are hoping to finally lighten this load and feel like yourself again, contact me today

Depression is as much about one's loss of vitality as it is about sadness and hopelessness. When working with depressed clients I encourage them to improve their lifestyle behaviours like, a balanced diet, regular exercise and strong social supports as well as I introduce them to cognitive and emotional enhancement and skill building exercises and practices.

Carl Conradi
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, MSc, MBA
In my experience, trying to describe depression to a person who has never experienced it is like explaining water to a fish, or air to a bird. When we feel well, we move through the world - are indeed, are positively pulled through the world - with a sense of optimistic expectation that is so innate that it's almost unnoticeable. But when we feel depressed, we feel that the invisible cords that normally connect us to other people, things, and activities have all be cut. How do we navigate life during these moments of isolation and meaninglessness?

Depression is often a result of not addressing needs of the soul. It can also serve a protective function. I have extensive experience working with youth and adults with depression.

Trudi Jane Wyatt
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RP, CT, CCC, CCTP
Have you been feeling more sad lately (or sad for a long time), or having some negative evaluations about yourself or others or the world/universe in general, or feeling unmotivated to get up and do things? These are some things people experience when they might be labelled or referred to as “depressed” and are common and very understandable experiences such as when life seems very dreary or difficult, and such as when there has been so much social isolation.
If this sounds like you, know that you are not alone in your struggle, and that for these experiences, there are people and strategies that can help improve your mood. Many clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not own them and that there are options available to once again have hope for a life with more joy and fulfillment.
If you are hoping to feel more like like yourself again — or to finally feel like yourself — I would be happy to meet with you and help you start to develop a plan in that direction.
