Depression
Liz Dean
Registered Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W
Depression is a deep hopelessness that colours and crowds out other things that are important to us. I can help you untangle your depression so you can see it clearly and understand how it impacts your self view, as I find the worst part of depression is that it is often misinterpreted by the self and others as a lack of effort or care and can lead to low self-esteem and self-blame. Anxiety can feel like a constant battle through negative thoughts, feelings or body sensations that crowd out other things that are important to us. I can help you untangle your anxiety so you can understand and see it and how it impacts your self view as I find the worst part of anxiety is that it is often misinterpreted by the self and others as a lack of effort or care and can lead to low self-esteem and self-blame. My goal is to help you hold all of this and help you find a new path forward.

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.

Melanie Fuller

Each person has their own description of what depression is like for them. Often, people express feelings, thoughts, and bodily experiences of 'stuckness', 'lack of motivation', the sense of 'hopelessness' (to name only a few). In psychotherapy, I will collaborate with you to form a treatment plan which addresses the fundamental challenges of clinical depression.

Depression
Berry Didier Nibogora - Bilingual CBT therapist @ CMAP Health
Counsellor/Therapist, RP(Q), CCPA, LLM
Feeling sad, demotivated, low energy and uninterested in activities you use to enjoy are the hallmarks of a depressed mood and depression remain the leading cause of disability. My approach to helping those experiencing depression is to start from outside to inside. By doing manageable tasks, one activity at the time, those struggling with depression progressively get back in contact with rewards. By doing what gives you pleasure or is important for you, according to your values and where you want to be in life, while pausing and celebrating milestones and achievements, you will get better. This is hard in the first days as depressive symptoms keeps the affected person down and demotivated. I am clear with my clients, right from the very beginning: do not fall in the trap that you will start doing something when you get motivation. It does not work that way and sleeping in or sitting on your couch because you feel demotivated is an avoidance strategy that will be feeding in your depression. Most clients start with behavioural activation strategies/principles first before doing the cognitive work of changing the unhelpful thinking or rumination that equally feed into the spiral depressive whole. Make no mistake: what you do or not do impact on the situation you are facing. If you decide to get started doing something small, you will feel different and the more you engage in mood boosting activities, the more you enjoy them and start to see the world and yourself with positive lenses. Should your clinical depression turns out to be treatment-resistant, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy will be an in-house option for you once you go through screening and assessment.

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?
