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.

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 more significant than just sadness. It lasts longer, and because it can affect people’s lives in many different ways, from their energy levels, ability to focus or work, their ability to eat and sleep, their anxiousness, irritability, emotionality, and their relationships, it can feel more frightening. Talk therapy has been shown to be highly effective for helping people to overcome depression, it helps people find ways to cope with everyday stressors. Talk therapy helps us to gain a new perspective on our problems, find our voice and begin to ask for what we need.

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.
