Depression Counselling in Rivers, MB.

In Depression Counseling/Treatment, my approach is multifaceted, integrating evidence-based practices with a client-centered and holistic perspective. I believe in fostering a therapeutic alliance built on trust, empathy, and collaboration, where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their experiences of depression without judgment. Drawing from cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness-based interventions, and psychodynamic principles, I tailor the treatment to each client's unique needs and preferences. Together, we work to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and explore underlying emotions and experiences.

Do you feel like you're stuck in a never-ending cycle of sadness, hopelessness, and fatigue? Do you struggle to find joy in things you once loved? Do you feel isolated and alone, even when surrounded by family and friends? If you're struggling with depression, know that you're not alone and there is help available. As a specialist in depression counselling, I have the expertise and experience to support you in overcoming your challenges and reclaiming your life. Through my personalized approach, I will work with you to identify the root causes of your depression and develop a plan to help you manage your symptoms, explore practical strategies to boost your mood, and find lasting relief.

Depression can feel like paralysis of the entire being; an enemy of the soul and a mind trapped by a dark cloud with no escape, making "normal" functioning difficult. To simply say it is "mind over matter" seems insensitive and minimizing. We trust that if a person seeks help with depression, they desire something different, which may require hard work. We explore causes, and with a sensitive approach, encourage intentional thinking and behavior as a means to create new patterns and new experiences. Recognizing this process may go against what feels possible and natural, it is our desire to help people learn ways of not just coping and managing, but to enjoy life, not merely endure it.

When struggling with depressed moods, everything feels heavy and you lack a sense of meaning and purpose. Even the most simple tasks can feel impossible. If you find yourself turning to alcohol, substances, or other addictive behaviours to cope with depressed moods, there is a way out. I help clients with addictions overcome the depressed moods causing them to turn to substances or addictive behaviours to cope. Everyone is different, so I work with you to develop a plan that fits your unique situation. If you are unsure where to start, send me a message. If I'm not the right fit, I can connect you to resources that will allow you to start getting help today, without having to wait.
