Depression
Jasmine Gill Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC
Depression often shows up as a heaviness or disconnection, and can act as a block to deeper core emotions. In therapy, I aim to create a safe, attuned space to explore what lies beneath the sadness - helping you understand the unmet needs or unprocessed feelings that may be present.
Through this work, we gently uncover the protective parts and underlying emotions that have been held inside, allowing the critical inner voice to soften and creating space for reconnection to yourself, your strengths, and a more vital, engaged way of being in the world.

Depression
Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
Depression is one of the most prevalent and wide-ranging mental health experiences our therapists work with at Nightingale Counselling, spanning everything from mild feelings of sluggishness and disconnection to severe, life-disrupting episodes that affect every aspect of daily functioning. One of the most common questions our counsellors hear is "Is this depression?" and part of our work is helping clients gain clarity about what they are experiencing, because understanding the nature of depression is itself an important step toward healing. Our approach to depression counselling combines practical stabilization strategies to help clients regain day-to-day footing with deeper therapeutic exploration of the root causes and triggers, building lasting resilience rather than simply managing symptoms.

Depression can feel heavy, isolating, and exhausting, often affecting motivation, self-worth, and daily functioning. I support individuals in exploring the emotional roots of depression, building coping strategies, and reconnecting with a sense of meaning and stability. Through a trauma-informed and client-centred approach, we work toward improving emotional balance, strengthening inner resilience, and supporting gradual, sustainable change.

Depression
Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
It doesn't always look like sadness. Sometimes it looks like going through the motions, feeling flat, always irritable, or wondering why nothing seems to land the way it used to. Depression has a way of making everything feel heavier and further away, including the idea that things could be different. I work with people to understand what's underneath it and find a way back to themselves.

Depression
Candace Plattor
Drug and Alcohol Counsellor, M.A. in Counselling Psychology from Adler University
When families are in addictive situations with someone they love, they are generally feeling depressed and helpless. And when an addict thinks about letting go of an addictive behaviour, they feel depressed and hopeless. This is all addressed in the therapy with Love With Boundaries Addiction Family Counselling.

Richmond, British Columbia is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities outside of Asia — with Chinese Canadians comprising a significant majority of the population and Mandarin and Cantonese widely spoken — creating a therapy community where demand for Chinese-language and culturally competent therapists far exceeds available supply. The city's proximity to Vancouver International Airport and its role as a gateway community for recent immigrants from Hong Kong, mainland China, and Taiwan shapes a therapy landscape particularly attuned to immigration stress, cross-cultural family dynamics, and the identity challenges of first-generation residents. Richmond Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community that is increasingly building capacity in Chinese-language care. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains a significant barrier, and many therapists in Richmond invest considerable clinical energy in normalizing therapy as part of their work.
