Depression therapy in Ottawa
Depression is more than a bad day or a sad week. It can drain your energy, dull the things you used to enjoy and make everyday tasks feel heavy. It's common, it's treatable, and you don't have to wait until things get worse to reach out.
Signs of depression
Feeling sad, empty or hopeless most of the time
Losing interest in activities, people or things you used to enjoy
Sleeping much more or much less than usual
Low energy, tiredness or feeling slowed down
Trouble concentrating or making decisions
Feeling worthless, guilty or like a burden
How therapy can help
Our therapists use evidence-based approaches to ease symptoms and look at what may be underneath them, such as stress, loss, relationships or past experiences. Together you'll build practical ways to cope day to day, and work toward feeling more like yourself again. Depression can also affect a partner or family, so we offer couples and family sessions too.
