Depression
Dr. Justin Dubé
Psychologist, Ph.D, C.Psych
It's so hard to live our meaningful lives when we are feeling low. When we are depressed, we have less energy. When we have less energy, we stop doing things that matter to us. When we stop doing the things that matter to us, we get less out of life. And when we get less out of life, we feel low. And when we feel low, scale back on our meaningful activities. And when we scale back, we get less out of life... this is the vicious cycle of depression. Together, we will use evidence based treatment to interrupt the vicious cycle of depression and learn skills to manage your mood.

Donna McLean
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA Honours (Psychology), MSW, RSW
Depression can feel like a fog, making it hard to feel much of anything, to think clearly, or to feel motivated to do things and you may feel isolated and alone. I can help you with tools for managing depression, and even get to the root of where the depression comes from and build a new relationship with the parts of you that are struggling.

Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
I provide comprehensive counselling support for individuals navigating a wide range of personal, emotional, and situational challenges. My practice specializes in helping clients manage the pressures of perfectionism, high-achievement, and burnout, while offering dedicated space for navigating men’s issues, women’s issues (including perimenopause), and the unique complexities of ADHD or neurodivergence. I offer compassionate guidance for those experiencing mild depression, anxiety, low mood, or profound loneliness, helping you build self-compassion and emotional regulation strategies. Additionally, I support individuals walking through major life disruptions and hardships, including life or career transitions, divorce and relationship strain, grief, and loss of direction. No matter the challenge, my goal is to help you slow down, understand your patterns, and build a more intentional, resilient path forward.
