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
North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber

Are you feeling sad, down, hopeless and/or helpless? Are you having difficulty focusing and have little motivation? Do you find yourself pulling back from social engagements and are not enjoying the things you used to like doing? These symptoms can be associated with depression and can be debilitating over time. Individual psychotherapy can help through compassionate, non-judgmental support to manage your symptoms. It can help you access your strengths and inner-resiliencies in order to cope and heal from difficult feelings.

Depression
Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Depression can make even the smallest daily tasks feel insurmountable, draining the color, energy, and joy out of life. You might feel heavy, disconnected, or stuck in cycles of self-criticism that feel impossible to break. You do not have to carry that weight alone. Using a collaborative cognitive behavioural approach, we will work together at a pace that feels right for you—gentling untangling heavy thoughts, rebuilding small moments of meaning and momentum, and creating a supportive, evidence-based path forward to help you reconnect with your life.

Depression
Zonaira Chaudhry
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist MSW, RSW
Feeling stuck in depression's grip? I combine behavioral activation with cognitive techniques to help you gradually rebuild engagement with life. Rather than immediately diving into past experiences, we'll focus first on practical steps to reduce depression's current impact and create meaningful change.
When depression comes with thoughts of suicide or self-harm, I provide specialized DBT-based support to help you build stability. Together, we'll identify your vision for life and develop manageable steps to move toward it, addressing barriers along the way.
