Through the process of exploring the possible causes of their feelings of depression, it is my hope that clients will discover that they do have the capability of addressing these issues. Clients will learn that they do have choices in how they view specific situations, and that they have choices in how they respond to challenges in their lives. Clients will benefit from learning communication skills that will encourage them to more effectively express needs and feelings to significant people in their lives. Moreover, it is my hope that as clients come to greater self-awareness, they will develop a kinder and more gentle acceptance of Self.

For many, the experience of major depressive disorder can entail the experience of several detrimental symptoms such as feelings of worthlessness; lack of energy; loss of interest and pleasure; low mood; fatigue and sleep disturbances. Through the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) we can work collectively to remedy said symptoms, as well as many others. In addition, we can work to replace maladaptive beliefs, behaviours, cognitions and feelings with their more adaptive counterparts. Through psychoeducation, I can offer tools to improve emotional regulation and help increase your self-worth.

When people are depressed there is some reason this has happened. It is not simply that their brain has caused this. Often there are specific, challenging life events that have occured, to which the person has not yet found resolution. Medication has just "numbed" their feelings so they are no longer in a pit of despair, yet they don't feel fully alive. In Canada, it is also very common for there to be an extra layer of depression caused by seasonal affective disorder. I support you and stand by you in facing the issues, and healing each layer of the depression. The therapy I do includes EMDR, self-soothing techniques, unveiling old attachment issues, and even art and stories.

Depression can arise from specific life events, or it may appear without an obvious cause. In therapy, we work to understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors—three key areas that can also serve as points of change. Together, we’ll explore how certain thought patterns or behaviors may be reinforcing your current state, and whether underlying beliefs or cognitive distortions are shaping your inner dialogue. By identifying and gently challenging these patterns, we can begin to replace them with more balanced and supportive ways of thinking and living. We’ll also look at external factors or habits that may be contributing to how you feel and explore strategies to shift them.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming and we do not know where to turn. No matter how much we want to change we sometimes fail, leaving us feeling even more afraid and alone. Counselling sessions can help us challenge and change negative thought patterns and feelings of hopelessness, by addressing new ways of seeing and dealing with life's difficulties. There is hope - you don't have to live with debilitating depression.

Depression is characterized by an extended period of low mood and a reduction in activities. You are struggling with a mixture of interpreting things in unhelpful ways and acting in self-defeating ways. You will be provided with strategies to do when you feel unmotivated, change unhelpful thinking habits, solve problems, and resolve past beliefs, rules, and assumptions you have made about yourself. You will learn to identify and express your feelings and all your needs and wants beneath those feelings, be kind and patient with yourself, and accept that everything changes, including feelings. Life calls for us to be flexible with our feelings to navigate life's ups and downs.

Depression is simply anger turned inward. My treatment focuses on helping to reveal the hidden reasons for your anger and taking the drive for it out at the very source. I use EMDR and OEI to bring out past injuries and injustices you may have been quietly holding onto for years. When you are able to release this emotional pain, you will be more able to rid yourself of self-directed anger leading to depression.

When I counsel clients with depression, I focus on helping them become aware of their thoughts and feelings without judgment. I use mindfulness techniques, like meditation and breathing exercises, to encourage them to stay present and observe their experiences. This practice helps reduce rumination and promotes acceptance of difficult emotions. By fostering mindfulness, I guide clients to detach from negative thought patterns, build resilience, and develop a balanced perspective, enhancing their ability to cope with depressive symptoms.

Depression can make it a challenge to do the basics, to feel motivated, and to give us a feeling of self-worth. It can defeat us and leave us feeling hopeless. I believe that there is a way through small steps, sometimes the smallest, to start to establish that depression does not have to take hold of our lives. Sometimes medication is necessary as well and it is also important to ensure the client's safety in case of self-harm thoughts.

Depression is so very common in people seeking therapy, and it is also a thief which steals our quality of life from us. It steals our joy and happiness, our energy and motivation, and sometimes even our desire to live. It is a trickster, too, telling us lies by painting our lives and the world as dark and negative in nature until we come to believe it. Counselling or therapy, particularly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, can help. I have seen depression in action and it helps me appreciate how much it can hurt. I have deep compassion and believe in your capacity to heal. I will never tell you to "just get over it" and can make recommendations that will help.

Do you experience low mood, irritability, feelings of hopelessness, changes in appetite and sleep? Depression can make it hard to enjoy the things we once looked forward to and can send us into a cycle that may feel difficult to break. In working with depression, the body-mind connection is beneficial to understand. I approach depression with compassion by facilitating learning about yourself and building meaningful ways that work best for you in approaching your concerns.

Feelings of depression can originate from many different sources, including issues related to addiction, the effects of addiction, infidelity, difficult childhoods, dysfunctional families of origin, and the impact of past hurts and coping patterns. By offering a setting that is based on trust, empathy, and collaboration, counselling can provide you with a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions while creating a deeper, more authentic understanding of who you are, what you need, and the dynamics that you are navigating. It is possible to thrive and be well no matter what you have been through, and counselling can help with this.

Depression is extremely complex - at times it can completely turn your life upside down and rob you of any joy or happiness that you previously felt. Yet other times it can also show up in more subtle ways throughout your life, almost unknowingly at first. Every person is different but one commonality with depression is that it can make you feel incredibly alone and self-deprecating. Isolation feeds depression and hinders our functioning. My aim is to create a compassionate relationship so that you don’t feel alone. I’ll offer empathy and kindness while we gently work as a team to find what works for you in your journey towards a healthier mind.

I work with clients to manage symptoms of depression, which can be accompanied with a sense of helplessness and hopelessness that can create a negative valence around an individual’s daily functioning. A persistent feeling of sadness and doom can be accompanied with a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. While the causes of depression can be related to brain chemistry, genetics, stressful life events, and medical conditions, CBT can be effective in identifying the interactions between one’s thoughts, behaviours, emotions, and their environment. Healthy coping mechanisms such as eating healthy, exercise, adequate sleep, and managing stress levels can help combat depression

Depression is a nasty monster that wants to cover you up, place you in the corner, and keep from the world. It is important to understand that you are not the problem. The problem is the problem! Approaching depression as something to fight against, puts you in a position of power. Depression is not an all or nothing battle cured by a magic pill or single treatment. The secret to winning this battle is one behavior at a time. By making small changes and conscious positive choices you can gain ground in the fight against depression and will be surprised at how fast and easy it was to step out into a bright and sunny future.

Depression may be the result of difficulties you have been struggling with for years, or due to a sudden shock. When we feel helpless to manage our struggles, that is depressing indeed! Symptoms of depression, such as sleeplessness, eating difficulties, lack of energy etc. only make the situation worse. There are always reasons why our bodies and emotions react the way they do. We may fear that there is no way to feel better but in over 30 years, I have never found that to be true. Every life is unique and we need to find out what is holding you back. This is not something you can handle alone but in a safe, private space we can explore and change the conditions that keep you depressed.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is often the modality of choice with issues of anxiety or depression. When the roots of either are found in thought distortions, CBT will be used. At times anxiety and depression might mask deeper concerns such as unmet needs, unspoken pain, frozen anger or other trauma wounds. Family systems, Compassionate Inquiry and CBT are used in these more complex situations.

Dr. Rochefort believes that depression is not a sign of weakness but rather a sign that the individual has over-demanded their personal resources. The "wet blanket" feel of depression is a huge barrier for progress forward in life. Dr. Rochefort works with individuals experiencing depression to accept, change, or adapt to adverse life circumstances, set goals and implement strategies for the future, change problematic thinking and behaviours, and develop skills to cope and overcome.
