Maria Yaglovski

Depression is a common mental disorder. It is characterized by persistent sadness and a lack of interest or pleasure in previously rewarding or enjoyable activities. Depression can be challenging to manage on your own. In our therapy sessions, we work closely together to identify some of the negative beliefs and behaviors, explore relationships and experiences, and find better ways to cope and create new and healthy patterns. I help you develop new tools and techniques to continue supporting yourself even after therapy is completed.

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.

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.

Depression
Dennis Keefe
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A.
My approach to depression is usually to start with the basics. Is the client getting enough sleep, sunlight, proper nutrition, exercise/movement, social contact? I also like to use CBT, particularly behavioural activation, to see if we can start to implement small behaviours that help lift the client a bit. This is then accompanied by deeper discussions about what the client's experience is. Have they lost a sense of control or meaning in their lives? How can we increase motivation and agency?

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.

Beyond Talk Psychotherapy
Licensed Psychoanalyst, RP, CAT, CCC, ATPQ, ACNN
Depression can be defined as having a negative thought patterns. A combination of CBT and Narrative would be beneficial in identifying and exploring a clients relationship to depression and developing a healthier thought pattern. Art could help a client draw what their depression looks like and explore ways to diminish it.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
