Mary B Rodenhurst
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA, BSW, MSW RSW
I was trained in IPT at the Centre of Addictions and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto, at the Department of Psychiatry University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and in Group IPT at McMaster University Department of Psychiatry School of Medicine. I trained and supervised Psychology Interns, Psychiatry Residents and Social Work Students in Interpersonal Psychotherapy. IPT is a method of treating depression and is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on you and your relationships with other people. It's based on the idea that personal relationships are at the center of psychological problems.
Depression often follows changes in one’s interpersonal environment (e.g., struggle with a significant other, loss of a loved one,life transitions such as divorce, job loss, postpartum or inability to maintain or develop social connections). Once depressed, symptoms can lead to compromised interpersonal functioning, which can precipitate continued stressful events. The goal in therapy is to address both the stressful life events and improved social support.
IPT focuses on improving problematic interpersonal relationships or circumstances that are directly related to the current depressive episode.

Julie Willsie
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc, MACP; Registered Psychotherapist
Depression can make it so that you can not fathom even taking a shower and getting dressed to drive to that counselling session that you scheduled...so you cancel, again. If this sounds familiar, trying phone or video counselling may be the best start. I've had many clients that have said, if they had to get up and dressed they would have cancelled, but since they could just call me, they could manage the session. The first step in therapy is attending the session - give me a call and lets see where we can get to from there.

Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Depression is a mental disorder that is an improperly used term in pop media as it is normal for us to feel down from time to time. A person experiencing depression is experiencing more than just sadness, they are feeling a severe kind of despair that occurs over a significant period, and thus affects every aspect of their life.

Kathy Roberts, London, Ontario
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Despair. Moodiness. Sadness. Emptiness. Irritability. Fatigue. At some point, we all experience these feelings in our lives. But when these symptoms are intense and long-lasting ... when we lose interest in things and activities we once enjoyed ... when its leads to trouble with memory, eating and sleeping ... it is important to take action. The best way to deal with depression is by a combination of lifestyle changes, therapy and (often) medication.
The therapy part is where I come in. I'm Kathy Roberts, a caring, experienced, qualified therapist. For over 30 years, I've supported people with depression. So reach out.

And I'll help you learn and apply effective ways to deal with your unhealthy emotions, thoughts and behaviors.
With proper treatment, therapy and personal commitment, most people with depression experience significant improvement in their symptoms and their feelings of happiness and fulfillment.
My website [ krcounselling.ca/depression ] has lots of great information about the warning signs, symptoms, causes and treatment of depression. It also has useful tips about how to help someone who is depressed, and why and how caregivers should care for themselves. Finally, it explains how and why talk therapy is so useful for someone who is depressed ... and what to look for in a therapist.
