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 Therapy: Uncovering What’s Been Silenced
Depression often speaks the language of what’s been suppressed—unmet needs, unspoken emotions, and parts of the self that haven’t felt safe to be seen. It’s not just a low mood or lack of motivation; it’s a signal that something deeper is asking to be acknowledged.
My approach centers on awareness, reflection, and integration. Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, mindfulness, and psychosomatic insight, we explore the emotional and subconscious layers beneath the surface. This work invites:
• Recognition of the feelings and needs that have been pushed down or overlooked
• Practical tools to navigate emotional heaviness and inner criticism
• Space to understand relational dynamics and internalized beliefs
• Mind-body practices that support presence, regulation, and reconnection
This process isn’t about fixing—it’s about listening. It’s about meeting what’s been silenced with compassion and curiosity, and allowing that awareness to guide meaningful change.

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.
