HAVE YOU LOST SOME OR ALL OF THE JOY YOU USED TO EXPERIENCE? Depression robs you of your vitality and makes it difficult to connect with others. When it is mild or moderate, depression feels like a constant obstacle that seems to take too much energy to get around. Depression symptoms can manifest as feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of energy or interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Physical symptoms can include changes in appetite, fatigue, and trouble sleeping. Emotionally, depression can leave you feeling isolated and alone. Therapy can be helpful in treating depression by providing support, understanding, and coping strategies. We are here to help you genuinely be

Kathryn can empower you again to take your life back, ignite the flame that may seem to have been snuffed out. She will support you to set goals that YOU are comfortable with, and she will encourage you each week to measure your success based on YOUR progress.

Research tells us that depression is the most treatable mental health issue. I am passionate about conceptualizing depression as a symptom instead of root problem. Depression is a normal response to things like painful life experiences, suppressed emotion, attachment trauma, abuse, complicated grief, loss of self-efficacy. Re-establishing connection to ourselves (i.e., our inner worlds), our bodies, important relationships, spirituality, meaningful work in life, etc., have all been shown to lead to a significant decrease in depressive symptoms. Savoring positive emotional experiences, and being relentless in the search for hope, are things I partner with my clients to do.

Depression can be effectively treated through evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Both treatments have been extensively researched and proven to be effective in clinical trials. As someone who is trained in both of these treatments, I help individuals manage their depression symptoms, improve their functioning, and experience an improved quality of life.

Depression is not only a mental problem, it is also a physical one - often leaving you with fatigue and lack of motivation to do anything. The first step to healing depression is building inner and outer resources for immediate symptom relief. This includes self- care, especially physical exercise along with mindful awareness of your internal experience . The next step is challenging those distorted beliefs and perceptions of yourself and the world. You can get better soon.

Depression can color how we see the world, ourselves and other people. Activities that used to be fun are not fun anymore and doing small things can feel like a chore. We might lose our sense of meaning and purpose and struggle to motivate ourselves. I want you know that there is hope, even if you cannot fully feel it right now. When working with depression, I help my clients to develop skills to improve their mood . Sometimes making little changes can help you feel better, which results in hope and lead to more hope and create an upward spiral. I also always help my clients heal the roots of their depression since this is an important part of recovering from depression.

Depression is extremely complex - at times it can completely turn your life upside down and rob you of any joy or happiness that you previously felt. Yet other times it can also show up in more subtle ways throughout your life, almost unknowingly at first. Every person is different but one commonality with depression is that it can make you feel incredibly alone and self-deprecating. Isolation feeds depression and hinders our functioning. My aim is to create a compassionate relationship so that you don’t feel alone. I’ll offer empathy and kindness while we gently work as a team to find what works for you in your journey towards a healthier mind.

Sometimes feeling sad, stuck, and hopeless is something that can be shifted with support and some fairly straightforward strategies. At other times, depressed feelings can be signs of complex processes that take time to unravel and sometimes lead to profound transformations. Still at other times, stuck emotions and energies can be moved through experiential processes. Ultimately, feelings of depression and their resolution are unique to your life. Even though ways out can be challenging to see when we’ve been feeling stuck for some time, there are many ways through. I'll help you find the one that works for you.

Feelings of depression can originate from many different sources, including issues related to addiction, the effects of addiction, infidelity, difficult childhoods, dysfunctional families of origin, and the impact of past hurts and coping patterns. By offering a setting that is based on trust, empathy, and collaboration, counselling can provide you with a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions while creating a deeper, more authentic understanding of who you are, what you need, and the dynamics that you are navigating. It is possible to thrive and be well no matter what you have been through, and counselling can help with this.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy against depression. This is a very effective tool. Many people feel depressed because their thoughts are negative, catastrophic, black and white or overgeneralized. I believe that negative, irrational thoughts create hopeless and depressed feelings which create negative behaviors. Clients are amazed how much better they feel when they change their irrational thoughts for more rational and realistic ones.

Depression can make it a challenge to do the basics, to feel motivated, and to give us a feeling of self-worth. It can defeat us and leave us feeling hopeless. I believe that there is a way through small steps, sometimes the smallest, to start to establish that depression does not have to take hold of our lives. Sometimes medication is necessary as well and it is also important to ensure the client's safety in case of self-harm thoughts.

I view depression primarily as a response to dissatisfaction with life circumstances. Therefore, I believe it is within one's control to identify the cause of this dissatisfaction, sadness and low mood, and use both cognitive and behavioural strategies to enhance life. The sequence in which I find most successful for people struggling with depression is first understanding the nature of where their depressive symptoms come from, then encourage meaningful life changes along with a shift in perspective about how one is situated in the world. Together, we will build off what we know and what works to overcome a depressive mood and aim towards maintaining greater joy in life.

I work with clients to manage symptoms of depression, which can be accompanied with a sense of helplessness and hopelessness that can create a negative valence around an individual’s daily functioning. A persistent feeling of sadness and doom can be accompanied with a loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. While the causes of depression can be related to brain chemistry, genetics, stressful life events, and medical conditions, CBT can be effective in identifying the interactions between one’s thoughts, behaviours, emotions, and their environment. Healthy coping mechanisms such as eating healthy, exercise, adequate sleep, and managing stress levels can help combat depression

Depression is a nasty monster that wants to cover you up, place you in the corner, and keep from the world. It is important to understand that you are not the problem. The problem is the problem! Approaching depression as something to fight against, puts you in a position of power. Depression is not an all or nothing battle cured by a magic pill or single treatment. The secret to winning this battle is one behavior at a time. By making small changes and conscious positive choices you can gain ground in the fight against depression and will be surprised at how fast and easy it was to step out into a bright and sunny future.

Social anxiety and shyness can easily lead to feelings of depression. If you feel depressed because you feel alone, isolated and have trouble making friends, you might be glad to know that there is a way to learn and practice the social skills you missed learning as a child.

Life can change and it takes just one step to start the process rolling in the right drection.

Being able to talk about our experiences and allow our feelings to surface is a first step toward unlocking ourselves from the weight of depression. The therapeutic approaches I draw on to support your shift out of a state of depression to a happier, more hopeful perspective will depend on your unique circumstances. f safety and trust feel confident to start sharing your experience with me, knowing that you are seen and understood. Often we have not had a place to share our struggles where we felt heard and accepted. Even the small shift in perspective that can be the result is enough to begin change.

No two people experience depression in exactly the same way and so dealing with it also needs an individual approach. Rather than viewing depression as something wrong with the person experiencing it, the client and I listen to what it might have to say to them. Though understandably, nobody likes depression, and it can be managed with tools such as Cognitive Behavioural therapy and mindfulness, etc., it can also be engaged through other approaches that allow its importance and meaning (and what it is calling for) is revealed. This can bring greater richness, wisdom, and appreciation for life.
