Depression has been called a sadness of the soul. It can happen in response to untoward life events, and it can stem from an inner struggle hidden beneath the surface of one's life and not at all evident to others. Either way, it can immobilize a person in just about every way imaginable: Causing them to be unable to eat, sleep, work, play, speak, or even feel the range of human emotion they would normally be capable of. Therapy helps to gradually turn the light on again by exploring those things that can weigh a person down. Talking therapy can, even combined with medication, help to unburden a person of the pain that has taken over their inner lives and prevents them from living fully.
Delyse Ledgard, MA RCC
Depression is debilitating, isolating, and painful. There is no one cause for why we go through periods of depression. Our system has shut down and everything feels overwhelming. To work through these symptoms we have to take a holistic approach within a supportive and caring therapist. I work from a body-mind approach that addresses the emotional, physical and cognitive aspects of depression. You can recover from depression, it may take time and I am committed to being with you through this process.
Devorah Peterson, M.Ed., RCC
No two people experience depression in exactly the same way and so dealing with it also needs an individual approach. Rather than viewing depression as something wrong with the person experiencing it, the client and I listen to what it might have to say to them. Though understandably, nobody likes depression, and it can be managed with tools such as Cognitive Behavioural therapy and mindfulness, etc., it can also be engaged through other approaches that allow its importance and meaning (and what it is calling for) is revealed. This can bring greater richness, wisdom, and appreciation for life.
Marlise Meilan, MA Psychology, Registered Clinical Counsellor
While being depressed can be, in itself, kind of depressing, it doesn't have to get you down. I know that sounds paradoxical, and it is, but there are ways to investigate the experience of depression so that it is not only about alleviating the symptoms (helping it to pass) but also about discerning the causes and the actual, varied expressions of depression in your life and in your body. Often through these kinds of explorations, a new relationship to depression itself can be harnessed and I'm here to help you find your way with this often troubling and debilitating-- but perhaps needlessly so-- mental and emotional state.

You may be interested to know that Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy is now recognized as the treatment of choice to prevent relapse and alleviate mild to moderate symtoms of depression.

You are not alone in what you are going through. In fact, sadness and loneliness are reaching epidemic proportions worldwide. In our counselling work together, we will look at your key relationships (with family, friends and with yourself) and we will learn specific techniques to allow you to feel more compassionate with yourself, more connected to others, to better manage your mood, and to make better choices. Although, we can't always change our external circumstances, we can change how we react and deal with those situations. I am looking forward to helping you feel better.

Get relief from depresion. Depression is a symptom that may stem from an identifyable event, an unfulfilled intention, poor self-worth, perfectionistic traits,or as a result of a trauma such as sexual abuse, bullying, poor attachment . Over time an individuals brain chemistry can physically change. When a depresion trigger occurs it then becomes easier for that individual to go to an even darger place. Hoplessness sets in and the person becomes very discouraged. Martin helps his clients to understand these patterns, reframe beliefs, and discharge the issues that are at the core of the depresssion.

Emotions play a role in our lives. However, being trapped under the weight of depression can lead to disconnecting with the joy in our lives as well as our motivation. CBT can aid with shifting our thoughts. This is helpful since how we think to ourselves can either trap us or set us free. EFT can help with exploring possible functions for the depression. Learn the different ways depression can develop in our lives while exploring strategies to manage depression.

Depression appears in many forms, affecting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. Symptoms vary from person to person, making treatment a highly individualized process. I bring many years of experience and a broad range of skills, both practical and experiential, to support you in recovery of your vital energy and pleasure in a life with meaning.
Tamara Knott, BA, BComm, MA, RCC
Depression drains your energy, hope, and drive, making it difficult to do what you need to feel better. But while overcoming depression isn’t quick or easy, it’s far from impossible. You can’t beat it through sheer willpower, but you do have some control—even if your depression is severe and stubbornly persistent. Recovering from depression requires action. But taking action when you’re depressed is hard. In fact, just thinking about the things you should do to feel better, like going for a walk or spending time with friends, can be exhausting. Getting the support you need plays a big role in lifting the fog of depression and keeping it away.

Do you find yourself: having trouble sleeping, feeling low on energy, having thoughts that life is meaningless, having a decreased appetite, experiencing less interest in sexual activities and withdrawing from connections with others? If so, you may be suffering from depression.
I help people explore the roots of their depression, identify the triggers, and recognize the impact that it's having in your life, and am committed to helping you become re-engaged with life, challenge your self-defeating thoughts, and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
You can live a happy and fulfilled life!
Gayle Way, Ph.D., R., Psych.
Do you suffer from depression which seemingly comes out of nowhere? Suppression of anger and other painful feelings often leads to depression. However, in some forms of depression the stimulus or catalyst for the depression is not obvious and may be very subtle and deeply rooted in the cell memory of the individual. Moreover, the contents of the call memory may derive from generations past. For this reason, I practice a blend of talk therapy and energy healing termed Energetic Self-Manifestation or ESM. ESM helps to resolve depression by removing the fear factor in the cell even when it is not clearly identifiable..

Depression manifests itself in many forms, and has been believed to have various causes. I believe in the addage that the depressed person "turns anger inward." In other words, the person who is depressed is in fact angry with him/herself.
Anger and sadness are two sides of the same coin. In my practice, I've found that those who have issues with anger actually have unresolved issues surrounding the sadness they feel toward others or towards the situation they are in.
As a trained therapist, I work with my clients to address issues around sadness. Once these issues are resolved and there is functional closure, I then help clients address their maladaptive behavior with respect to anger

I will work with you to explore the source of your depressed feelings, and provide gentle support and tools to bring hope and help ease the weight that feeling depressed can place on your life.
