Depression Counselling in Sault Ste Marie, ON.

Depression can paralyse people and prevent joy and engagement in relationships and activities. Counselling can help you to break out of depressive patterns, address unresolved emotions from the past and get you moving forward in a healthy way. The key is developing self awareness and tools that will help create positive movement. We often get stuck in old behavioural patterns that are destructive, unhealthy or just no longer work for us. Change is key.
