Depression Counselling in Chatsworth, ON.

Hope Centered Counselling has a lot of experience working with Anxiety and Depression. We know that often holding space is all someone can handle on a bad day. The darkness sometimes just feels like too much. We know that asking our clients to make big changes in their life to get better just doesn’t cut it. Baby steps are necessary to start the journey to recovery together. We know its hard and some days there’s nothing in the tank, but we really do care about what you are going through and have the capacity to hold space for you through the journey until you turn a corner. You just don’t have to be alone anymore if you find the right therapist to share the walk with you. We care!

Do you wake up or go to bed feeling the blues? Do you feel dread and wonder how you will get through the day? Are you experiencing negative thoughts? I can help. Not only do I use talk therapy with my clients I help clients by using a technique called CBT Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CBT can help you notice triggers and events that effect both thoughts and mood restoring balance.

Can we transform emotional pain into personal growth and find hope? I can help you become aware of how certain negative automatic thoughts, beliefs and expectations contribute to feelings of anxiety and sadness. Often these automatic negative thought patterns are developed as a result of a past painful and difficult experience. They determine how we deal with loss, change, conflict and social interactions. Supporting you in identifying and understanding these thought patterns, can help resolve problems in maintaining relationships and establish a stronger sense of self-worth. Schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit for therapy.

If you’re feeling down, having trouble enjoying things you used to, sleeping changes (sleeping too much or not enough), changes in your appetite (too much or not enough), or just feeling lethargic, you might want to see a psychotherapist and might feel depressed. Through CBT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy, you can see life in a better light, and get back to the life you want to. Book a free 15-minute consultation to start your healing journey.

Depression can leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you're simply getting through each day. You don't have to face that alone. I provide a compassionate space where we can gently explore the experiences and emotions contributing to how you're feeling. Using a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach grounded in Narrative Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I'll help you reconnect with your strengths, develop greater self-understanding, and begin moving toward a life that feels more hopeful, balanced, and fulfilling.

When you are in the dark hole of depression, it can feel impossible to imagine functioning normally again. I know that feeling firsthand. I have been severely depressed several times in my own life, and I found my way back. In more than three decades of practice I have helped many people do the same, drawing on both the right therapeutic techniques and a solid understanding of the physical interventions that support recovery. I have been a psychologist since 1986, and I can help. I am based in Calgary and see clients across Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick by secure video.
