Depression
Jonathan Snowball, Anxiety and Depression Psychotherapist in Ontario
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA, MDiv
Depression can affect anyone and is treatable. As a mood disorder, it can alter a person’s feelings and interactions with the people and things around them.
Using approaches such as cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT), we can develop coping strategies together. We can work on learning positive skills that quieten negative inner commentary. As well we can look into ways of communicating better, speaking up for one’s self and addressing situations that worsen depression symptoms.

Depression
Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Depression can leave us feeling hopeless and sometimes even the way our loved ones respond can actually increase our sense of isolation. In my work with clients experiencing depression, I focus first on understanding and appreciating each person’s unique story. Fostering a trusting and collaborative relationship creates an environment that feels safe to explore our emotions and paths to healing. Contact me today to start your healing journey.

Depression and low motivation are areas that are very common for people who seek therapy. I really enjoy helping people work with the emotions and thoughts that impact on people who struggle with depression and have had success helping many people in this area.

Depression
Michael Greene
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling Psychology, Registered Psychologist College of Psychotherapists of Ontario
Depression is basically a lie about who you are. Treatment involves discovering your true, good self. Within this treatment we will help you learn to trust yourself and your feelings. We also will look at the different selves within you in order to help you manage yourself from within. In addition we look at family history where you began. I will teach you self care with tools and resources that will help you to speak to the part of you that is in pain in a way that comforts it and gives it a perspective that points you towards your true self. In this way you can become your own good parent. Depression is a wound that can heal. It does not have to be a life sentence.

Jisca Rodriguez, RP (GreenValley Counselling Services)
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Certified Music Therapist, MMT, MTA
Children and teens can also experience depression. In fact, sometimes it is through the teen years that depression is first experienced. I help youth learn how to be more aware of their emotions, process any unresolved concerns and learn how to cope.

Depression
Clare Pentelow
Therapist, MSW, RSW
Depression can feel like a heavy, immovable fog that disconnects you from your joy, your energy, and even your sense of self. It often shows up as a persistent low mood, a loss of interest in the things you once loved, or a crushing sense of hopelessness. In our work together, we move toward these feelings with gentle curiosity and deep self-compassion, rather than trying to simply "will" them away.
Using an IFS (Internal Family Systems) lens, we’ll get to know the parts of you that may feel burdened, exhausted, or stuck in a state of "numbness" as a way of coping with life's demands. By weaving in psychodynamic and relational insights, we’ll explore the roots of this heaviness—unpacking how your past experiences and current environment have shaped your internal world. My goal is to help you safely process these underlying burdens, slowly clearing the fog so you can begin to feel a sense of vitality, worth, and genuine connection again.

Depression
Ms. Clare Pentelow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.S.W., R.S.W.
Depression is a heavy load that many people have to carry. Connected to depression is often very low energy, lack of motivation and low self esteem. How I work with depression involves trying to work with my clients to encourage self care, and to address the negative thoughts and feelings that, in my opinion, fuel the depression.

Depression
Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Depression can make even the simplest things feel heavy-getting out of bed, reaching out to others, or believing that change is possible. You might feel numb, disconnected, or tired of pretending you’re okay. In therapy, we’ll create space to understand the layers beneath your sadness and gently reconnect you with hope, meaning, and self-compassion. Together, we’ll explore small, steady steps toward healing; helping you rediscover moments of lightness, connection, and purpose at your own pace.
