Depression Counselling in Calgary, AB.

In our sessions, we will explore the factors that contribute to feelings of depression and low mood and practice skill-building. We can learn to identify and shift the thinking patterns, accept and process our emotions, and detach ourselves from any expectations that may be keeping us stuck. We can also learn new ways to relate to ourselves and support ourselves through depression.

Depression is real, the struggle is invisible and even the smallest tasks seem impossible. It can make feel cut off from joy, purpose, people and even yourself. Your inner critic is already really loud and we don't add more noise. We bring softness, gentle accountability and space for the complex stuff. You are neither broken nor a burden. You are human and healing is possible with the right person in your corner.

I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in developing treatment plans for clients who are experiencing Depression. Using tools and strategies form these modalities we developed a synthesis of self-acceptance and change. We work toward validation, tolerance, as well as techniques that will improve and increase positive mood behaviours.
