Depression Counselling in The Nation, ON.

Depression is a way of our body reacting to events as well as to lack of attachment with the people that surrounds us. Attachment is very important in order to help the person with the depression because we are social beings; where it has been proven that people that ave a healthy support system are able to deal with the symptoms of depression better than the people that face it alone

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.

Depression is a result of non-processed grief, which itself comes from a sense of loss. It is the mechanism through which the mind tries to “take it easy” and focus on the loss. However, in today’s society, we do our best to avoid it or even deny it. Sometimes, we take the easy way of medication so that we do not face this darkness inside. A successfully therapy accompanies the client through this journey of introspection and creates supportive environment in which the client faces the loss. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Being depressed leaves your feeling helpless and hopeless. You may be overwhelmed by sadness or feel irritated and angry all the time. You may feel lonely and fear you are a burden.

Therapy can help. Please reach out for a free consult to determine if I am the right therapist to help you.
