Depression
Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
Art therapy provides a gentle yet powerful way to navigate depression by offering a space for self-expression, exploration, and reconnection. When words feel inaccessible, the creative process can help externalize emotions, uncover underlying patterns, and cultivate a sense of meaning and agency. Through imagery, color, and symbolic expression, you can safely process emotions, shift perspective, and reconnect with your inner vitality. My approach integrates mindfulness and body-based practices, supporting you in moving through stuck emotions and fostering a greater sense of presence, self-compassion, and possibility.

Kai DeMaeyer - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
Depression isn't just sadness, and it isn't a character flaw. It can look like flatness, exhaustion, disconnection, or going through the motions for so long you've stopped noticing. I work with clients who are tired of being told to think more positively, and who want to understand what's underneath rather than just push through it. We move at your pace, and we don't pretend it's simple.

Depression
Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
Depression is often a response to having experienced profound psychological pain. It is a way for us to retreat or numb ourselves from the overwhelming emotions of such stressful circumstances. It acts as a protective shield in a way. In therapy, we will work towards addressing the underlying sources that are contributing to feelings of deep sadness. This can be a difficult task and as such it can be helpful to include strategies alongside our reflective work which may include CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Behavioural Activation. Book a free 15-minute consultation with me to see if I’m the right fit for you.

Depression
Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Many of my clients struggle with depression and have been diagnosed with either major depression or persistent depression. Often depression is a response to deeper, unresolved concerns such as trauma, neglect, loneliness, burn out, and/or neurodivergence. I support clients based on individual circumstances. I believe depression is less about emotion regulation and more about exploring your sense of self and your core beliefs about others and the world around you. My goal is to help you build a life worth living.
