Depression Therapy
Depression therapy in Mississauga & across Ontario
Depression can look like sadness, emptiness, irritability, exhaustion, numbness, shame, or the sense that you are moving through life without much connection to yourself. I offer virtual psychotherapy for adults and adolescents in Ontario who want a thoughtful space to understand low mood, restore capacity, and work with the experiences that may be weighing on them.
Support
What depression therapy can help with
Therapy can help make depression less isolating and more understandable.
Persistent low mood, emptiness, numbness, or hopelessness
Loss of motivation, withdrawal, fatigue, or difficulty starting tasks
Self-criticism, shame, guilt, or feeling like you are falling behind
Depression connected with grief, trauma, ADHD, anxiety, or relationship patterns
Life transitions, identity questions, burnout, or a loss of direction
Difficulty feeling pleasure, closeness, confidence, or emotional range
Approach
Understanding what depression is carrying
Depression is not only a checklist of symptoms. It often carries grief, anger, unmet needs, impossible expectations, old losses, or patterns of disconnection that deserve careful attention. Therapy can include practical support for daily functioning while also exploring the emotional and relational roots of what feels stuck.
Make space
Name feelings that may have been minimized, avoided, or held alone for a long time.
Support function
Build small, realistic structures that help with energy, routine, and connection.
Explore roots
Understand how history, relationships, grief, and self-criticism may shape low mood.
A good fit if you want more than quick reassurance
This work may be useful if you are tired of being told to simply think positively or push through. We can take depression seriously without reducing you to it.
