Depression
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
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.

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.

Yuka Oshimi
Counsellor/Therapist, MC, RCC, RCC-ACS (c), DCP(c), ADHD-CCSP
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.

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.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed approach, depression is understood as a manifestation of unresolved trauma and a lack of feeling connected to the self and to others. The work we can do will include helping you better understand your depression, developing healthier and more helpful ways of coping, and doing the processing to resolve your trauma to relieve the depression.

Depression
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.

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.

Depression
Christina Harrison | Vicara Wellness |
Counsellor/Therapist, Integrative Holistic Coach and Practitioner | Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner |
Depression can feel like heaviness, numbness, exhaustion, disconnection, hopelessness, or simply losing access to parts of yourself that once felt alive. I offer a compassionate space to explore what is happening without reducing your experience to a symptom that needs to disappear. Together, we can gently explore your emotional world, nervous system, body, relationships, beliefs, and life circumstances, supporting reconnection with your own resources, meaning, vitality, and capacity for change.
