Depression Counselling in Georgina, ON.

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.

Depression can make even the simplest parts of life feel heavy, leaving people feeling stuck, unmotivated, or disconnected from themselves and others. In my work with clients, I provide a warm, supportive space to explore these feelings while offering practical tools to begin moving forward. Together, we focus on building self-compassion, identifying unhelpful thought patterns, and reconnecting with values and activities that bring meaning. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness, clients learn strategies to manage low mood, increase resilience, and foster a greater sense of hope and balance in daily life.

Experiencing depressive symptoms, low mood, low affect, low-ness is hard. Using psychodynamics and person-centered, strengths based therapies, I strive to aid clients in understanding the patterns of these symptoms so we can, collaboratively work together to process these feelings and devise ways that work for you to regulate and improve mood over time.

Depression is often a response to having experienced profound psychological pain. It is a way for us to retreat or numb ourselves from the overwhelming emotions of such stressful circumstances. It acts as a protective shield in a way. In therapy, we will work towards addressing the underlying sources that are contributing to feelings of deep sadness. This can be a difficult task and as such it can be helpful to include strategies alongside our reflective work which may include CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Behavioural Activation.
