Veronica Lowe
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP, CCC
Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I work with individuals to develop "psychological flexibility." Instead of fighting against difficult thoughts and low moods—which can often lead to further exhaustion— I teach clients how to observe these experiences with mindfulness and self-compassion. By identifying core values, I support clients in taking small, manageable steps toward meaningful action, helping them gradually rebuild a life that feels vibrant and connected.

Depression is a mood disorder that can affect a person's daily life. Mild depression may be described as feelings of sadness, loss, or anger over a short period of time. Major Depressive Disorder or Clinical Depression is a common but serious mood disorder that can cause severe symptoms that affect how you feel, think or even handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working and can last for months or even years. Hypnosis is an excellent method for addressing the underlying issues affecting mild depression and is an effective complement to existing medical protocols when dealing with clinical depression.

Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Many of my clients struggle with depression and have been diagnosed with either major depression or persistent depression. Often depression is a response to deeper, unresolved concerns such as trauma, neglect, loneliness, burn out, and/or neurodivergence. I support clients based on individual circumstances. I believe depression is less about emotion regulation and more about exploring your sense of self and your core beliefs about others and the world around you. My goal is to help you build a life worth living.

Paighe Rojas
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Depression can make everything feel heavier—motivation, connection, even basic daily tasks. Therapy helps you understand what’s feeding the numbness or hopelessness, rebuild rhythm and meaning, and create steps that are doable (not overwhelming). You don’t have to “power through” alone—there is a path back to yourself.

Moeez Munshi
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying, Clinical Intern
Depression can flatten motivation and narrow life. We’ll start with behavioural activation and MBCT skills to reduce rumination, then challenge unhelpful beliefs with CBT while rebuilding routines that support mood. Progress is tracked so you can see what’s working. Sessions in Durham and online Ontario-wide.

Whitby is a Durham Region community east of Toronto, notably home to Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, one of Ontario's largest dedicated mental health hospitals, which reflects the significance of mental health as a local concern and provides specialized inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services that make the area an important hub for mental health care in the eastern Greater Toronto Area. The city has grown rapidly as a commuter community for Toronto, with GO Transit service making the journey manageable, and the pressures of long commutes and the costs of homeownership are among the stressors residents bring to therapy. A private therapy sector serves those seeking outpatient counselling, and the presence of Ontario Shores means that more intensive mental health needs can be addressed locally rather than requiring travel to Toronto. Common therapy concerns include commuter and work-life stress, family and parenting pressures, anxiety, and the transition challenges of a rapidly growing community.
