Depression
Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Depression can make everything feel heavy, like you're moving through life in slow motion, disconnected from the things and people you care about. Maybe you're tired all the time, finding it hard to get out of bed, or just feeling numb and unmotivated. You might be showing up for your responsibilities on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside.
You don’t have to go through it alone. In therapy, we’ll create a space where you can be real about how you're feeling without judgment or pressure. We’ll explore what’s beneath the surface, build tools to help you cope, and work toward reconnecting with yourself, your emotions, and your sense of purpose.
Even if it doesn’t feel possible right now, things can get better, and we’re here to help you find your way forward.

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.

Depression
Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: CBT, emotion-focused therapy, behavioural activation and trauma-informed care.
I help clients explore low mood, hopelessness, withdrawal, self-criticism, and loss of motivation. CBT can address unhelpful thinking patterns, while behavioural strategies encourage manageable steps toward meaningful activity and connection. Emotion-focused work helps clients process underlying emotions rather than simply suppressing them.

Depression
Phyllis Wai Ng
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CCC
Signs of depression often start off with lack of energy, loss of appetite and deprived of sleep. Common signs of severe despondency and dejection are followed by feelings of inadequacy and guilt. Depression is commonly ignored when the individual does not understand it.
I will be able to use evidenced-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to help you examine and challenge thinking patterns and maladaptive behaviors, in order to help you feel better.

Depression
Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, RP
Depression is a result of non-processed grief, which itself comes from a sense of loss. It is the mechanism through which the mind tries to “take it easy” and focus on the loss. However, in today’s society, we do our best to avoid it or even deny it. Sometimes, we take the easy way of medication so that we do not face this darkness inside. A successfully therapy accompanies the client through this journey of introspection and creates supportive environment in which the client faces the loss. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Depression can feel debilitating and therapy is a great space to explore your experiences and to develop coping strategies. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America, with Chinese residents making up the largest share of the population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, AMD, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
