Depression is one of the most common mental health concerns today. Depression can take away your interest in life, make it difficult to get out of bed and can cause a cloud over your life.

With cognitive behavioral therapy, you can learn to control the thoughts that are contributing to your depression and give you the power over your depression. At West Coast Counselling, we take the time to understand you and your concerns and work with you to achieve your goals. Don't let depression take control of you.

I view depression as an internal system of parts in conflict, with exiled parts holding painful emotions and protective parts trying to manage or avoid the pain. When this happens, it's normal to feel disconnected from yourself and others, unable to make progress or find relief because these parts are all working at cross-purposes. Therapy helps you to foster compassion for these parts, heal the underlying trauma, and unburden the emotional weight, leading to more internal harmony and relief from depression.
