Depression can be treated in both long and short term therapy using a number of approaches. Among them are hypnosis, DBT, behaviour activation and CBT. CBT has a strong evidence base to support mood elevation that often persists even after the therapy is finished. In CBT the emphasis is on the here and now, and how learning new thought patterns and actions can generate an improved mood. First clients are trained in how to become experts about their current automatic thoughts and then create and practice new patterns that have meaning for them. CBT is a gentle and fascinating discipline that involves homework and commitment but which can produce remarkably effective, lasting results.

Depression is a change in mood that can lead to loss of concentration, increased reactivity, feelings of sadness, and a loss of interest in everyday activities. Depression usually develops over time, so we are unaware it is present. It will surface when we are under stress, grieving a loss, or facing life changes we did not choose, like a marital break-up, a pregnancy loss, or being laid off from work. A major depression or clinical depression can also occur due to a chemical imbalance in the brain. In these situations, we need medical assistance to move forward from a depressive event. However, most people find talk therapy improves their mood. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation today

I find that connecting with clients and taking the time to get to know them well is the basis for creating trust and safety in the therapy process. Helping clients with depression to feel connected is vital to their well-being and healing. Listening to their story and how they feel can make all the difference for someone with depression. To know and feel that they matter can begin to help them see themselves differently. I may use art therapy, cognitive behaviour therapy, life skills training, and goal planning and setting, as a part of therapy with clients who are depressed.

Depression is an insidious companion, and can creep its way in without us realizing for some time. Shifting a depressed mindset can be extremely difficult but neuroimaging studies have shown that by practicing mindfulness we can begin to alter those well-trodden neural pathways and shift our neurochemistry by promoting the production of neurotransmitters linked to feelings of happiness. Psychotherapy can help you identify mindfulness activities and other tools that can help to promote the production of these neurotransmitters and deliver results rooted in neuroscience. I can offer an alternative perspective and act as the catalyst you need to begin making the shift out of depression.

When life becomes too much, it’s easy to become socially withdrawn and mentally disconnected from the world around us. It can feel like you're stuck and don't know how to get out. But you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate these concerns alone. Seeking help is a strength and a great first step in the right direction to prioritizing your mental wellness and taking back control over your life.

When one is depressed the range of thoughts and feelings encompass a wide spectrum. Sadness and despair might be pervasive. One can feel as if they have fallen into a deep dark pit where everything is covered in negativity and hopelessness. In this state, one can feel inadequate, discouraged, unable or unwilling to make decisions. In addition, guilt, shame, profound low self-esteem and loss of interest in relationships, sex, career and even life itself are commonly found. A variety of evidence-based tools, specific to the needs of the individual, applied skillfully at the right time, can dramatically lift one out of that deep, dark pit and help avoid relapse.

Does it seem that no one “gets it”? They can’t seem to understand that you battle each day simply to manage what seems to be the simplest of activities. Reaching out to seek professional support is an act of great courage. . When treating depression, medication alone is not the only part of the journey towards recovery. Talk therapy and more specifically Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) can be a great benefit. CBT focuses in on your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and through setting realistic goals can assist you in managing daily life. I would gladly introduce you to CBT and assist you in implementing it into your daily life.
