Meaningfully Connected Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP or RP (Qualifying)
Dealing with depression is exhausting. It can feel like your wheels are turning but you are getting nowhere. Do you feel like you spend most of your time worried about the future or thinking about the past? Do you wake up feeling tired and groggy? Do things tend to strike you as black-or-white, rather than grey? If you are tired of waiting for yourself to 'snap out of it', I am here to tell you that even though changes in mood can appear to come out of the blue, there are often things going on beneath the surface that we can tackle and which can start to help you feel better. My passion is helping people from various walks of life who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed and irritable. We are interested in getting to know your experience of depression. Are you ready to get to know the depression better?
We prioritize rapport-building and using a compassionate approach so that you feel safe as you explore the experiences and feelings that are coming up for you today. You are not your difficulties and so it is just as important for us to explore your goals, strengths and story as we tackle the challenges that you are facing. If you are looking for a compassionate therapist who cares not only about your difficulties, but also about how they developed and impact you, who is culturally sensitive and aware, and who will support your self-discovery, we would be honoured to be a part of your journey. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation by phone where we can answer your questions. You deserve a meaningful and peaceful life.

Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I support clients with depression by exploring its emotional and relational roots. Through a psychodynamic lens, we look at how early experiences, self-critical patterns, and unexpressed feelings may shape the way depression shows up. Together, we work to understand what the depression may be protecting or expressing, creating space for relief, reconnection, and renewed self-understanding.

Depression
Whiteboard Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Individuals dealing with depression often describe feeling overtaken by a sense of not caring while also experiencing a major change in emotions. These feelings are often magnified by the fact that these individuals are aware of their thoughts and feelings, but feel powerless to fight them on their own. Our clinicians are trained in methods to help individuals grow in their awareness of depressive thoughts and their ability to fight back on their own.

Hiba Khatkhat @ Under The Oaks Self Care Center
Registered Psychotherapist, MA CMHC, RP
Not all depression comes in the form of tears and not wanting to get out of bed. That's the stereotype image. Sometimes depression comes in the form of anger, irritability, and overall life dissatisfaction. Sometimes depression is 'I'm functional but I'm not happy'. We have experience addressing the range of depressive symptoms & causes.

Mind By Design®
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.

Tej Neringer, Pivotal Counseling
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Depression is a complex and often misunderstood mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in daily activities, depression goes far beyond temporary feelings of unhappiness. My approach to working with Depression is twofold. First, increasing activity and improving lifestyle (e.g. sleep, diet, exercise, social life) to improve mood in the short term and develop a feeling of hopefulness. Second, we identify, explore and challenge any thoughts, beliefs or behaviours that are contributing to the on-going depression, with the goal of understanding the root cause of the depression and adjusting thought patterns to reduce or eliminate depression moving forward.

Aleksei Panov
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Psy, MS Psy, RP
In dealing with depression, first of all, I help my clients to manage their physical symptoms of depression. When you are depressed, you have no energy to do anything, but the only way to deal with depression is to try to stay active. Not just active, but also relaxed. We will start slowly, step by step increasing your activity, improving your motivation and identifying automatic negative thoughts.

Depression
Kate Paul
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Depression is a sadness that accompanies us wherever we go stealing our experience of happiness and joy. Others often do not understand that depression has changed our vision of a colorful, vibrant world to one of varying shades of gray. Depression can make tasks that were once completed without much thought like taking a shower, brushing one's teeth, or even getting out of bed, feel like an overwhelming challenge. Activities and people that we once enjoyed, no longer feel enjoyable. "Why can't I just snap out of it?!" I use an integrative approach to therapy providing an empathetic, supportive dynamic to empower you to change your emotional experience of life.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel heavy, numb, or overwhelmed by even small tasks? Many people living with depression have learned to push through, hide their feelings, or tell themselves they shouldn’t feel this way. Sadness, emptiness, fatigue, or hopelessness may have gone unspoken or been misunderstood, making it harder to feel connected to yourself or others.
These experiences aren’t a personal failure—they’re meaningful signals that something needs care and attention. What matters is how we support you when they show up. Together, we can gently explore what you’ve been carrying, understand how depression has been affecting you, and find ways to help you feel more supported, more present, and a little lighter over time. You feel this way for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Oakville is one of the most affluent municipalities in Canada — a well-established Toronto suburb with a high median household income, well-funded schools, and a therapy culture that reflects the stresses of high-achieving, upper-middle-class suburban family life. The city's concentration of executives, professionals, and their families creates demand for therapists working with relationship complexity, parenting under pressure, and the psychological costs of maintaining prosperity and family cohesion. Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community. Oakville's growing diversity — with expanding South Asian and East Asian communities in its newer residential subdivisions — is gradually broadening the range of cultural frameworks therapists need to engage with.
