Depression is a clinical diagnosis that goes beyond "just having the blues" for a couple of weeks. Under a physician's care, counselling is indicated as the best treatment alongside medication and/or lifestyle changes. If you are struggling with the symptoms of depression due to a diagnosis of Major Depression; Bipolar depression; Postpartum depression, or Seasonal Affective Depression Disorder (SADD), I use an approach to meet your needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Dialectical Behavior Therapy; Depth psychology, Expressive Arts Therapy, and Narrative approaches are beneficial modalities that support the resolution of symptoms of depression.

Depression is a condition that varies greatly between each presentation. It often is a downstream effect of other dynamics and relationships that takes a serious toll on the body, the nervous system, digestion, relationships and emotional well-being. My approach to treating depression begins with respect and understanding of the individual experience, their past, present, and concept of the future. I take that understanding of past experience, and beliefs of the future, pain in the present, and to provide safety, support, and strategy to improve your well-being and cultivate resilience through life's significant challenges. Depression can also look like anger, fatigue, isolation, etc.

The circumstances and issues that you are dealing with are unique to you, but you don't have to face them alone. Every individual has different experiences, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, values, attitudes, cultural backgrounds and "upbringings". Counselling sessions are private and confidential, and can provide a way for you to explore your problems and really tune in to your feelings. This is an opportunity to speak freely about your circumstances and release pent up feelings, without having to worry about what others think or feel, and without receiving unwanted advise from family, friends or coworkers. At the root of the problem, there are very real, legitimate and understandable reasons for feeling the way you feel, thinking the way...(view profile to read more)

Many people experience periods of depression in their life time. There are different types and they are diagnosed and treated differently. Situational depression may be caused by a traumatic event or life change, can be resolved with time, is more common than clinical depression, and appears to have a smaller impact on day to day life. Talk therapy can treat it on its own. Clinical Depression is often longer term and chronic, more difficult to treat, can be connected to brain chemistry differences, interferes with daily functioning, and is often treated with both therapy and medication. If you want to learn more about your mood and how we can help, book a free consultation.
