I find that connecting with clients and taking the time to get to know them well is the basis for creating trust and safety in the therapy process. Helping clients with depression to feel connected is vital to their well-being and healing. Listening to their story and how they feel can make all the difference for someone with depression. To know and feel that they matter can begin to help them see themselves differently. I may use art therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, life skills training, and goal planning and setting, as a part of therapy with clients who are depressed.

Depression is an insidious companion, and can creep its way in without us realizing for some time. Shifting a depressed mindset can be extremely difficult but neuroimaging studies have shown that by practicing mindfulness we can begin to alter those well-trodden neural pathways and shift our neurochemistry by promoting the production of neurotransmitters linked to feelings of happiness. Psychotherapy can help you identify mindfulness activities and other tools that can help to promote the production of these neurotransmitters and deliver results rooted in neuroscience. I can offer an alternative perspective and act as the catalyst you need to begin making the shift out of depression.

Does it seem that no one “gets it”? They can’t seem to understand that you battle each day simply to manage what seems to be the simplest of activities. Reaching out to seek professional support is an act of great courage. . When treating depression, medication alone is not the only part of the journey towards recovery. Talk therapy and more specifically Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) can be a great benefit. CBT focuses in on your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and through setting realistic goals can assist you in managing daily life. I would gladly introduce you to CBT and assist you in implementing it into your daily life.

Depression can leave us feeling hopeless and sometimes even the way our loved ones respond can actually increase our sense of isolation.

When I work with people who are weighed down with symptoms of depression, I find that it is important to remember two things: go slowly, and go together. Employing a trauma informed, family systems and somatic lens to what you are experiencing can help provide insight into how to move through and manage it. Journeying with clients through their depression is a great honour, and is something I take very seriously. I find that for many people, holding onto hope that things could be different, is something that can seem too much. Part of my commitment to working through depression is that, until you are ready, I will hold onto hope for both us.

Depression is a change in mood that can lead to loss of concentration, increased reactivity, feelings of sadness, and a loss of interest in everyday activities. Depression usually develops over time, so we are unaware it is present. It will surface when we are under stress, grieving a loss, or facing life changes we did not choose, like a marital break-up, a pregnancy loss, or being laid off from work. A major depression or clinical depression can also occur due to a chemical imbalance in the brain. In these situations, we need medical assistance to move forward from a depressive event. However, most people find talk therapy improves their mood. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation today
