Adrienne Sharma-Richardson PhD MEd RP OCT
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Gestalt Psychotherapist Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Gottman Trained Couples Therapist
While working with depressed people my job is to emphasize security, structure, and learning.
My approach is to provide support and appreciation for your efforts as opposed to supporting more than frustration.
If you are a depressed person you are probably frustrating yourself enough as it is, am I right?
And it feels permanent! Well, it isn't.
During therapy you will first learn how to accept support from your surroundings.
Then you will learn to create a system of self-support with support.
Our work will centre around a primary task of creating a safe environment, a safe relational field, in which your self-healing powers can be activated.
Psychotherapy, on its own or with combination with antidepressants, is now known to be an effective treatment for depression" (Roubal, 2007).
The problem is you aren't going to solve anything laying in bed!
Come lay on my couch, with your unshowered self and let's be depressed together.
You don't have to do depressed alone.
Call me.

Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
An important thing to remember when facing depression is that it is moveable, changeable. Depression, in my experience, can change with processing what has happened in your life and understanding your response to the impact it has had on your life. It often involves processing that which takes place between the trigger and then the natural response to avoid/get rid of or push away the pain. With a little help the awareness of feeling state can be understood; often it has to do with our relationships and learning how to stick up for ourselves and repair. This is where Mindfulness and Meditation comes in and also self-compassion. For more on self compassion; see Chris Germer and also Kristen Neff.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, MSc
The weight of depression can have many roots. A relational therapy approach prioritizes what's been missing or even harmful in the connections in your life—both personal relationships and societally. Lack of intimacy, care, safety, or validation can impact our sense of self and make the world feel unendingly dark. Depression can be a lonely place, so I'll be interested in connecting with what depression feels like for you specifically. Then we can collaborate to understand how depression has developed and what's contributing to it now. I approach depression as an understandable reaction to experiences such as isolation, loss, and discrimination. I also want to support you to process those experiences in a way that brings you into closer connection to yourself and others. Depression can keep life small and empty. Together, we'll explore how you can find a richer life, inside and outside of depression.

Masha Andreeva
Art Therapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP(qualifying)
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.

Kurt Zubatiuk
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Registered Psychotherapist), Diploma TIRP, member CAPT
Depression, hopelessness, powerlessness, loneliness, dead inside. Having a reliable and trusted relationship to provide support when we believe no one can bear to be with us can make the difference. We can begin to feel we're worth the time, the effort, that we matter. Eventually, with patience, what we feel (or can't feel) can begin to make sense. A sense of connection and agency can return.

When you feel stuck in or disconnected from your life, psychotherapy can help you reconnect with yourself and what matters most.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
Anger turned inward, often results in depression. Yes there are bio chemical causes for depression, but in my 25 year plus experience, depression is almost never simply a brain chemistry issue. And as a holistic psychotherapist, I find that people who have mild to medium depression can often overcome it with a combination of talk therapy, unpacking family of origin messaging, unpacking low self value as well as inner exploring of believes.. All this, in addition to bringing in natural amino acid supplementation. This combination has been immensely effective in neutralizing the beast that depression can be.
Note: If a client has suicidal ideation, a person does need to have a medical person on their team to navigate possible allopathic medication to create the very important brain balance they need to be able to unpack some difficult therapeutic content.
