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.

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.

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.

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.
