Depression
Daniel Keith McMath
Counsellor/Therapist, | Coach | PCC, MPCC
Stress isn't always a sign that you're carrying too much. Sometimes it's a sign you've been carrying things that were never yours to carry. Responsibilities, expectations, pressure, or constantly taking care of everyone else can slowly leave you disconnected from yourself. Together we'll explore what's creating that weight so you can begin living with greater clarity, healthier boundaries, and a steadier sense of yourself.

Getting to deeper feelings or needs can guide one to gaining clarity or meaning for the future. People experience depression in different ways. If you think you may be experiencing symptoms of depression, please feel free to contact me for a free 20-minute consultation today.

Depression
Tracey MacKenzie
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CCC #7392
Depression comes in many shapes and forms -- situational, any kind of loss, seasonal, chronic, etc. And while depression takes many things from us, the biggest is the loss of the HOPE that things can be different. Guess what -- they CAN. My aim is to help you find that hope again and then start working our way back to strength, resiliency, contentment, and even happiness. It won't be overnight but it will happen. So let's start!

Abbotsford is a Fraser Valley city bordering Washington state with a character shaped by its strong Mennonite and evangelical Christian heritage, a large Punjabi Sikh community that has made it home to one of Canada's most prominent South Asian populations outside the Vancouver core, and a rapidly growing suburban economy that has attracted families priced out of Metro Vancouver. University of the Fraser Valley offers psychology and counselling programs that contribute to the local mental health workforce, and Fraser Health provides public mental health services to the region. Mental health stigma has historically been significant in some of Abbotsford's religious and cultural communities, and faith-integrated therapy and culturally competent care—particularly for South Asian clients—are important considerations in the local landscape. Common therapy concerns include intergenerational family conflict, cultural identity, anxiety, economic stress, and the adjustment challenges of a community navigating the tension between traditional roots and rapid modern growth.
