Suzanne St. John Smith
Counsellor/Therapist, M.A., M.A. (Psych.) FEA, C.C.C Relationship and Family Therapist; Life Coach
It’s a complicated place to be once a person enters a cycle of depression, especially when they consider the kind of emotional energy they think they’ll need to get out of that cycle. It can often leave them feeling hopeless. I can help you find ways to regain a feeling of hope about your life.

Anna Vaisser Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, MEd, RCC
Depression can feel like a heaviness that slows you down, disconnects you from yourself, and makes even simple tasks feel overwhelming. In therapy, I help you understand this experience through both a cognitive and somatic lens—how your thoughts, emotions, and body responses interact, and how they can be gently shifted. Using mindfulness‑based practices, somatic awareness, parts work, CBT, and humanistic and narrative approaches, we work together to increase self‑regulation, soften the internal shutdown, and reconnect you with a sense of vitality and meaning. My aim is to help you feel more present, more supported inside yourself, and more connected to your vitality.

Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
While everyone feels down from time to time, the experience of clinical depression is something else entirely. Clinical depression can include many physical symptoms, like changes in energy, exhaustion, sleep problems, and body pains, as well as overwhelming negative thoughts that can make it difficult to think that you will ever feel better. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, we will slowly work on identifying these negative thoughts and slowly help you start doing the things that are important to you in your life, which breaks the cycle of depression.

Depression can make even basic tasks feel heavy, isolating, or impossible to begin. I help clients explore what may be contributing to their depression, reconnect with their needs and values, and take manageable steps toward relief, meaning, and self-compassion.

Dena Marie Counselling & EMDR Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, RCC
I support clients experiencing depression by using EMDR to gently process underlying experiences, patterns, or memories that may contribute to low mood, lack of motivation, or feelings of hopelessness. This approach helps reduce the emotional intensity of these experiences, allowing you to feel more grounded, energized, and able to engage with life in a balanced and meaningful way.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
Depression can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, numb, hopeless, or like you're simply going through the motions of daily life. Together, we'll explore the underlying causes of your depression, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop practical strategies to help you reconnect with hope, meaning, and the activities that once brought you joy. Healing is possible, and my goal is to help you move beyond surviving so you can begin feeling like yourself again.

Charlie Young
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC #22791
Depression is not always sadness — it can be numbness, withdrawal, irritability, fatigue, appetite changes, or physical symptoms, and often everything simply takes more effort than it used to, and has for a while. You might be functioning in some areas and running on empty in others, or notice that the way you talk to yourself has become critical. We start exactly where you are, and I aim to listen to what you need in each moment. I'm a queer and trans RCC providing virtual therapy across BC, specializing in gender-affirming care, hormone readiness assessments, and identity exploration, though any topic is welcome — and I'll use your name and pronouns from our first contact. Often our environments don't support us the way we need them to, and I help name that context rather than treating it as a problem arising within you. During the free 15-minute consult we'll talk about what brings you to counselling and how I can help.

Karen Baker
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CTP Dipl
Depression can be the quiet result of years spent putting others' needs ahead of your own, or believing your feelings didn't matter as much as someone else's. I work with clients to gently uncover these patterns, process what's underneath them, and reconnect with a fuller, more authentic sense of self.

Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Depression is often more than just feeling down—it can be the weight of long-held beliefs, unprocessed grief, or the body’s way of shutting down in the face of overwhelming emotion or unmet needs. Rather than labeling depression as a disorder to be fixed, I work with clients to gently uncover the deeper emotional truths it may be holding. Using experiential therapies and memory reconsolidation, we explore the early patterns and experiences that shaped how you learned to survive. As we bring compassion and understanding to those places, many clients begin to feel more connected to themselves, more alive, and more able to access hope, energy, and joy—not by forcing positivity, but by healing what’s been holding them back.
