Depression
Stacey Molengraaf
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, Diploma, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
One of my favourite analogies to explain the experience of depression is that depression is like a giant Yeti sitting on top of you all day long. It makes getting up, doing daily tasks, interacting with others, and even sitting extremely hard and tiring. As such, and for many other reasons, walking the path with depression can be profoundly challenging. At the same time, some research suggests that depression has an evolutionary function, namely, to slow us down and focus all our energy on solving the complex problem that started the depressive episode. In essence, it forces us to stop and reflect.
In therapy, I support clients to explore their relationship with depression, develop tools to stay regulated when it shows up, get curious if it has an important message for them, and take action towards their goals (which may include responding to depression messages). In my personal and clinical experience, I have seen that depression can be an opportunity for life reflection and profound personal growth.

Cynthia Sewell, Embrace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CH CHyp
When the depression takes hold it's hard to think clearly. Any activity seems far to difficult so why not stay in bed. It doesn't have to been this way.

Colleen Fava
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Reiki Practitioner, BA
Life can feel overwhelming with lots of ups and downs. Depression can feel like a bottomless pit, I offer a foot-hold or hand out of the pit of depression – often a big part of this may be rediscovering or integrating self care.

Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Depression is more than just a passing mood; it's a pervasive experience that can profoundly impact one's life, affecting emotions, thoughts, and daily functioning. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we address depression with an integrative, relational, and trauma-informed approach, recognizing its complex and multifaceted nature.
Our therapy sessions aim to provide a deep understanding of your unique experience with depression. We explore various contributing factors, from biological and psychological to social and environmental influences. Recognizing that depression can often be rooted in or exacerbated by past traumas and unresolved emotional issues, we provide a supportive and safe space for you to explore these aspects.
In treating depression, we utilize a combination of therapeutic techniques tailored to each individual's needs. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) plays a significant role in addressing negative thought patterns and behaviors that fuel depression. We also incorporate mindfulness practices to enhance present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, helping to alleviate symptoms of depression.
Our relational approach fosters a therapeutic alliance based on empathy, understanding, and trust. This approach not only helps in alleviating the symptoms but also focuses on building resilience and empowering you to lead a fulfilling life. We work collaboratively to identify and reinforce your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and foster a sense of hope and optimism.
Through our virtual therapy sessions, we ensure that support is consistently accessible, providing a convenient and comfortable way to engage in therapy. Start your journey with Collaborative Care Therapy towards overcoming depression and rediscovering joy, purpose, and meaning in life.

Depression
Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., RP
Depression often feels like a weight you can’t put down—draining your energy, clouding your thoughts, and making it hard to find joy in things you once loved. These feelings can feel isolating, but they don’t define who you are. In therapy, we’ll gently uncover what’s beneath the heaviness, develop tools to manage low moods, and help you reconnect with meaning and hope. Step by step, we’ll work toward lightening the load and finding your way forward.

Depression and low motivation are areas that are very common for people who seek therapy. I really enjoy helping people work with the emotions and thoughts that impact on people who struggle with depression and have had success helping many people in this area.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
It can be difficult to recognize when you're experiencing more than just a temporary low mood. Depression can sometimes appear suddenly, or it might gradually develop. You might notice a general tiredness, or perhaps a deeper sadness and a lack of interest in things you once enjoyed. Common signs include a lack of enthusiasm for life, consistently low mood, low energy levels, increased irritability, a lack of motivation to do things, and difficulty concentrating.
When these feelings of depression continue, it's understandable to want to keep them to yourself and try to push through. You might feel like you're the only one going through this, worried that others wouldn't truly understand, or that you'd be bothering them with your problems.
It's important to remember that feeling down is a normal human experience, and everyone has their off days. However, if you find that feelings of sadness, a lack of energy, and a sense of being listless are persistent and not improving, it could be beneficial to speak with someone.
At Laird Counselling, we provide a confidential and supportive environment where you can openly discuss these difficult thoughts and emotions. We understand that taking this step can be challenging, and we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Our approach is tailored to meet your specific needs and help you understand and navigate these feelings. Please feel free to contact us to learn more about how we can support you in working through depression.
