Mary B Rodenhurst
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA, BSW, MSW RSW
I was trained in IPT at the Centre of Addictions and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto, at the Department of Psychiatry University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and in Group IPT at McMaster University Department of Psychiatry School of Medicine. I trained and supervised Psychology Interns, Psychiatry Residents and Social Work Students in Interpersonal Psychotherapy. IPT is a method of treating depression and is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on you and your relationships with other people. It's based on the idea that personal relationships are at the center of psychological problems.
Depression often follows changes in one’s interpersonal environment (e.g., struggle with a significant other, loss of a loved one,life transitions such as divorce, job loss, postpartum or inability to maintain or develop social connections). Once depressed, symptoms can lead to compromised interpersonal functioning, which can precipitate continued stressful events. The goal in therapy is to address both the stressful life events and improved social support.
IPT focuses on improving problematic interpersonal relationships or circumstances that are directly related to the current depressive episode.

Joe White
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
Depression is a common but debilitating condition that affects thoughts, feelings, and daily functions, leaving individuals feeling drained of energy and hope. It can cause sleep problems, appetite changes, and increase the risk of suicide. Regardless of whether the cause of depression is known or unknown, like loss or ongoing disappointment, it's important not to face it alone. I provide various treatment options such as CBT, ACT, or EMDR to help individuals deal with their depression.

Molly Heffernan
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Depression is a pervasive mental health disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities. It goes beyond typical mood fluctuations and can significantly impact daily functioning, affecting sleep, appetite, and energy levels. Individuals experiencing depression may grapple with negative thoughts, low self-esteem, and difficulty concentrating. It is a complex condition with various contributing factors, including biological, psychological, and environmental elements. Seeking professional help, such as therapy or medication, can be crucial in managing depression. With proper support, individuals can work towards understanding the underlying causes, developing coping strategies, and gradually reclaiming a sense of well-being and purpose in their lives.

Shannon Wylie
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I am currently accepting new clients. No waitlist! Evening sessions available for in-person or online sessions.
Having worked as a Registered Social Worker for over 12 years, I have established an approach to working with clients that leaves them feeling heard and supported. Together we create a space where you can safely and effectively work towards your wellness goals and make positive changes in your life. This may involve talking things through, processing and making sense of difficult experiences, addressing unhelpful thought or behaviour patterns, or establishing more effective coping mechanisms. Every client's journey is unique. My role is to support you in this process by being a neutral, non-judgemental resource.
For those suffering with low mood we work together to identify contributing factors and the ways in which thoughts, behaviours and experiences may be perpetuating symptoms of depression.
Please feel free to explore my website for more information or to book a free 20 minute consultation.
I would love to hear from you!

Jonathan Snowball, Anxiety and Depression Psychotherapist
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.
