Depression
Alicia Panchal
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Depression can often feel like you're wearing permanent sunglasses - except that rose coloured tint is replaced with darkness. Sometimes that shade of darkness can change, but it can often feel like it's always there. Working through depression doesn't mean "look at the positive"; it means, "let's explore what's prompting and perpetuating these feelings; let's explore what emotional, mental, and physical needs aren't being met; let's make room for these feelings and let them breathe because they are trying to tell me something important." In working on depression, we'll explore what makes it easier for you to "take the sunglasses off", but also not beat yourself up if they end up coming back on. In doing so, those periods of darkness will be less frequent, and less intense overtime, allowing you to feel more comfortable and confident in yourself to cope with all of life's curveballs.

Depression
Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Depression can make life feel heavy, disconnected, numb, or difficult to face. You may struggle with motivation, self-worth, isolation, sleep, or feeling hopeful about the future. Therapy can provide a supportive space to understand what is contributing to depression, build coping tools, and reconnect with meaning, strength, and small steps forward.

Depression
Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Depression can make everything feel heavier—motivation, connection, even basic daily tasks. Therapy helps you understand what’s feeding the numbness or hopelessness, rebuild rhythm and meaning, and create steps that are doable (not overwhelming). You don’t have to “power through” alone—there is a path back to yourself.

Ajax is a lakefront Durham Region town east of Toronto, one of the Greater Toronto Area's most diverse communities, with large Black, South Asian, and Filipino populations and many young families commuting west. Mental health needs centre on commuter and financial strain, newcomer settlement, and youth wellbeing in fast-growing schools. Lakeridge Health provides regional services, and the GTA's large therapy market — plus virtual care — extends access.
