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 can leave us feeling hopeless and sometimes even the way our loved ones respond can actually increase our sense of isolation. In my work with clients experiencing depression, I focus first on understanding and appreciating each person’s unique story. Fostering a trusting and collaborative relationship creates an environment that feels safe to explore our emotions and paths to healing.

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.
