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.

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.

Goran Kosanovic
Registered Psychotherapist, HBCom, MACP
Depression can feel like an overwhelming weight, making it difficult to get through daily tasks, connect with others, or find joy in life. It’s important to know that feeling hopeless or stuck doesn’t mean there’s no way out. Through solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), individuals can begin to shift their mindset, break free from negative patterns, and regain a sense of control and purpose. Therapy provides practical tools for managing symptoms of depression, building emotional resilience, and improving self-esteem. Whether it’s work-related stress, relationship issues, or personal struggles that are contributing to feelings of despair, therapy can help clients reconnect with their inner strength and work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Aleksei Panov

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.

Ekum Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Depression is a common yet serious mental health condition that profoundly affects how someone feels, thinks, and navigates daily life. It often shows up as a lingering sadness, a loss of interest in activities that once brought joy, and an overwhelming sense of hopelessness. If you or someone you know is experiencing depression, it’s important to understand that these feelings are valid and can be incredibly challenging to manage.
Many individuals also face physical symptoms such as fatigue, changes in appetite, and difficulty focusing, which can further complicate their experiences. Depression not only impacts personal well-being but can also strain relationships and hinder work performance, making everyday life feel even more daunting.
While the causes of depression can differ from person to person—often stemming from a mix of genetic, biochemical, environmental, and psychological factors—what's crucial to remember is that you are not alone. Recovery is possible, and there are effective treatment options available. Therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes can all play a role in managing symptoms and fostering healing.
Reaching out for help is a courageous step, whether it’s connecting with a mental health professional or leaning on supportive friends and family. Embracing support is vital, and taking that first step towards healing is something to be proud of. Remember, you deserve compassion and understanding as you navigate this journey.

Depression
Michael Greene
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychologist College of Psychotherapists of Ontario
Depression is basically a lie about who you are. Treatment involves discovering your true, good self. Within this treatment we will help you learn to trust yourself and your feelings. We also will look at the different selves within you in order to help you manage yourself from within. In addition we look at family history where you began. I will teach you self care with tools and resources that will help you to speak to the part of you that is in pain in a way that comforts it and gives it a perspective that points you towards your true self. In this way you can become your own good parent. Depression is a wound that can heal. It does not have to be a life sentence.

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.

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.
