Kristie Brassard & Associates
Registered Social Worker, RSW
We need to be engaged in a full life to feel our very best, and due to motivation, mood, and lethargy, depression often takes that away from us. Healing underlying hurts that may be impacting mood, connecting with meaningful activity, and purpose and learning to be kinder to ourselves can also help us move past a depressive episode, towards living a full, whole-hearted life. Our therapists can help you discover and develop your version of a happy and healthy life.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Getting to the root of one's depression, why it occurs, and how it presents itself is imperative in understanding how one can remedy it. By working with clients to explore and comprehensively understand their depression, we will be able to better manage, mitigate, or eliminate the cognitions, behaviours, and feelings tied to our depression. How we became depressed is only the first step in one's work on depression; figuring out how to create change, support, and maintain change is the bulk of it.

Catherine Dwyer
Registered Social Worker, MSW RSW
It's normal to experience occasional feelings of sadness or feeling "shutdown" from time to time. But when we become stuck in this state - feeling helpless and hopeless - and it starts to disrupt our daily routines, then it may indicate a more significant problem such as depression. Depression often feels like an anchor wrapped around your leg pulling you down into the abyss and manifests in many different symptoms. In therapy, you will be able to explore your experience of depression with genuine curiosity and compassion. Together, we can figure out why you might be feeling the way you are feeling, find ways to manage symptoms, and identify ways in which you may wish to change and grow, moving yourself towards a more meaningful, fulfilling life.

Philippa Klein
Counsellor/Therapist, PSW, MSW
It has been an isolating and particularly stressful era. If you struggle with low mood and depression, it has been an extremely isolating time. A first step to tackling depression is to reach out and talk. The advantage to remote therapy is that you simply have to open your device and start this process.

Ryta Marie Peschka
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Can we transform emotional pain into personal growth and find hope? I can help you become aware of how certain negative automatic thoughts, beliefs and expectations contribute to feelings of anxiety and sadness. Often these automatic negative thought patterns are developed as a result of a past painful and difficult experience. They determine how we deal with loss, change, conflict and social interactions. Supporting you in identifying and understanding these thought patterns, can help resolve problems in maintaining relationships and establish a stronger sense of self-worth. Schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit for therapy.
