Depression
Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
In my online work with clients across BC and Canada, I often see depression manifest as a heavy, protective numbness where the nervous system has entered a functional freeze state to endure overwhelming systemic weight. I will sit with you virtually in that quiet, heavy space without any pressure to immediately "fix" it or force artificial positivity. By working relationally and experientially, we can slowly welcome back your natural vitality and self-knowing at a pace that feels entirely secure to your body.

Depression
Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
Depression isn’t laziness or weakness—it’s a signal from parts of you that feel exhausted, hopeless, or unseen.
If you're feeling numb, unmotivated, or like you’re moving through life in a fog, I see you. Depression often arises when parts of us carry heavy emotional burdens or feel like they’ve been carrying the weight of the world for too long. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic tools like TRE, I help you gently connect with these parts—not to fix or force change, but to understand, unburden, and heal. There is a way back to energy, purpose, and joy. You don’t have to do it alone.

Depression
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Depression can often feel like being trapped inside a 'bubble'—a protective part of your system that pulls you into a state of withdrawal because the world has become too overwhelming to navigate. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in mental health and addiction, I view this lack of motivation not as a flaw, but as a survival strategy that is trying to shield you from further pain.
My approach is gentle and focused on helping you safely reconnect with yourself. We move beyond simply 'fixing' your mood to understanding why this protective bubble formed in the first place. By healing the underlying wounds and helping your system feel secure again, we work together to gradually dissolve that barrier, allowing you to move back into a life of clarity, energy, and genuine connection.

Depression
David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Depression can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected, stuck, or numb, even when you’re trying your best to keep going. Sometimes it looks like sadness, but other times it feels more like emptiness, irritability, low motivation, isolation, or struggling to recognize yourself the way you used to.
I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about what you’ve been carrying without feeling pressured to pretend things are okay. Together, we can explore the thoughts, experiences, and patterns that may be weighing on you as we work toward greater clarity, self-understanding, and emotional balance at a pace that feels manageable for you.

I provide a steady, supportive space to understand the roots of your sadness, shift patterns that keep you stuck, and reconnect you with a sense of meaning and possibility. Together, we’ll work with both practical tools for relief and deeper insight that helps you feel more grounded, hopeful, and engaged in your life again.

Depression
Liz Dean
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Depression is a deep hopelessness that colours and crowds out other things that are important to us. I can help you untangle your depression so you can see it clearly and understand how it impacts your self view, as I find the worst part of depression is that it is often misinterpreted by the self and others as a lack of effort or care and can lead to low self-esteem and self-blame. Anxiety can feel like a constant battle through negative thoughts, feelings or body sensations that crowd out other things that are important to us. I can help you untangle your anxiety so you can understand and see it and how it impacts your self view as I find the worst part of anxiety is that it is often misinterpreted by the self and others as a lack of effort or care and can lead to low self-esteem and self-blame. My goal is to help you hold all of this and help you find a new path forward.

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
Lisa Willow
Counsellor/Therapist, BSW, MSW, ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider
Depression often accompanies ADHD. A life time of experiencing struggles with self regulation, masking symptoms, feeling hopeless and without proper support can lead to depression. I use CBT and DBT to help support individuals reframe negative thoughts, while coaching encouraging behaviour change to facilitate motivation, in order to help you meet your goals.

Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Depression isn't just sadness, and it isn't a character flaw. It can look like flatness, exhaustion, disconnection, or going through the motions for so long you've stopped noticing. I work with clients who are tired of being told to think more positively, and who want to understand what's underneath rather than just push through it. We move at your pace, and we don't pretend it's simple.

Depression
Fiona Matalon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Depression can be a sign of many repressed emotions - it takes so much energy to keep our emotions quiet and stored that we lose our life energy. Exploring our depression in a safe, non-judgemental space can transform it.

Vancouver's extreme housing affordability crisis has become a defining mental health issue, with therapists frequently addressing financial stress, housing precarity, and the grief of displacement from a city many can no longer afford to stay in. The city's large East Asian community — particularly its Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and South Asian populations — drives demand for culturally fluent therapists who can navigate family dynamics, immigration stress, and the intersection of cultural expectations with individual wellbeing. BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services provides institutional support, while Vancouver's large private therapy community is concentrated in Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Commercial Drive, and the West End. BC's expanded telehealth access makes it easier to connect with therapists across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
