Depression
Shelley Klammer
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, REACE, FOT, CHyp
Are you a high-functioning, self-reliant woman who cycles through periods of emotional pain that you keep hidden from others? Perfectly hidden depression is a term for appearing successful, cheerful, and emotionally stable on the outside while privately experiencing severe emotional pain. Coined by psychologist Dr. Margaret Rutherford, perfectly hidden depression hides behind anxious perfectionism that is trying to compensate for unhealed shame and a fear of emotional vulnerability. I specialize in working with women who have perfectionist tendencies and currently feel a disconnection from their authentic selves.

Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, RP, RCC, CCC
I work with individuals when their life is feeling numb - you're not feeling the joyful moments fully and everything else feels like one dull moment. Life feels stuck and you feel stuck.

Dena Marie Counselling & EMDR Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, RCC
Struggling to get out of bed, feeling numb or disconnected, going through the motions without really being present — depression can make even small things feel heavy. Using EMDR, I help you gently process the underlying experiences, patterns, or memories contributing to low mood, lack of motivation, or hopelessness, so their emotional weight starts to lift rather than just being managed day to day. Over time, this helps you feel more grounded, energized, and able to engage with life in a way that feels balanced and meaningful again.

Depression
Online Therapy in Ontario & BC
Registered Psychotherapist
Depression can affect anyone and is treatable. As a mood disorder, it can alter a person’s feelings and interactions with the people and things around them.
Using approaches such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT), we can develop coping strategies together. We can work on learning positive skills that quieten negative inner commentary. As well we can look into ways of communicating better, speaking up for one’s self and addressing situations that worsen depression symptoms.

Together, we can work toward helping you reconnect with yourself, build on your strengths, and find a greater sense of hope and possibility.

Depression
Linda Szeto
Therapist, RCC, CCC
Depression can leave you feeling sad, stuck, exhausted, disconnected, or like life has become harder to manage. You might be struggling with past experiences, current circumstances, worries about the future, or a sense that things aren't going to change. My approach draws on EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and somatic approaches to help you work through difficult experiences and emotions that may be contributing to how you're feeling. The goal is to feel less weighed down, feel more hopeful, and find more room to move forward.

Depression
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.

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.

I help clients who are experiencing depression move through the heaviness, numbness, and disconnection that can make everyday life feel difficult. Together, we explore the underlying patterns and experiences contributing to how you feel—not just the symptoms—so we can begin to restore energy, meaning, and a sense of connection to yourself and your life.

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.

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.
