Depression Counselling in Plaisance, QC.

Depression has different impacts on different individuals. Because of this, treatment plans specific to depression are especially unique. When I work with clients with depression, I ensure that the root of the depressive mood is explored, the current aspects in the client's life that is maintaining the depression is targeted, and that client-specific interventions and strategies are put into place. Depression has various aspects to it and it is only in exploring each of these aspects that treatment can be thorough and effective.

Depression can be a debilitating and hopeless place to be. It is often connected to difficult life experiences and sometimes genetically predisposed. I believe in a holistic form of treatment considering health and care of the body, soul and spirit. One should never walk alone through depression for all they see is 'darkness' - seek God, others and the help of therapy in order to show you the 'light'. I believe the 'light' represents truth, hope and renewed vision for life!

Every now and then life throws a curve ball at us which could leave a person feeling confused, alone, and unenthusiastic to complete daily tasks. Like George Harrison says, "It's all in the mind".

Being able to feel supported, to explore and come to understand what is happening, to explore the body's and the nervous system's role in how one is feeling, to speak freely can often help.

Depression is problematic in several ways and can feel impossible to break out of. My goal for working with clients struggling with depression is to start imagining a better future.
