Nadia Yuen
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Depression can feel like a quiet weight—slowing you down, dimming your energy, and making it hard to feel like yourself. If you’re feeling low, stuck, or disconnected, you’re not alone. I offer a warm, gentle space where we can explore what you’re going through at your own pace, and begin to take small, compassionate steps toward relief, connection, and healing.

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.

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.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Depression is often far more than just “feeling sad.” It can look like exhaustion, numbness, burnout, irritability, hopelessness, disconnection, self-criticism, or feeling like you are constantly carrying more than others can see.
Sometimes depression is rooted in trauma, grief, chronic stress, neurodivergence, pain, or years of surviving in ways that have slowly worn you down.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and honest. Together, we work to better understand what may be happening beneath the surface, reduce shame, build realistic supports, and help you move beyond survival mode toward a life that feels more meaningful and worthwhile.

Depression Therapy: Uncovering What’s Been Silenced
Depression often speaks the language of what’s been suppressed—unmet needs, unspoken emotions, and parts of the self that haven’t felt safe to be seen. It’s not just a low mood or lack of motivation; it’s a signal that something deeper is asking to be acknowledged.
My approach centers on awareness, reflection, and integration. Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, mindfulness, and psychosomatic insight, we explore the emotional and subconscious layers beneath the surface. This work invites:
• Recognition of the feelings and needs that have been pushed down or overlooked
• Practical tools to navigate emotional heaviness and inner criticism
• Space to understand relational dynamics and internalized beliefs
• Mind-body practices that support presence, regulation, and reconnection
This process isn’t about fixing—it’s about listening. It’s about meeting what’s been silenced with compassion and curiosity, and allowing that awareness to guide meaningful change.

Depression symptoms can be varied and include impacts on sleep, energy level, mood and motivation. One may feel little energy to even address the problem.

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
