We cannot lie to ourselves: realizing that something is bothering us is the first step towards understanding our present situation. Coming to therapy is a positive second step. It allows us to see where we come from, where we are now and where we would like to be. We should also keep in mind that once we know something, we cannot unknow it.

Depression Therapists in Canada
What is the most effective treatment for depression?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) are widely regarded as the most effective treatments for depression. CBT helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to feelings of sadness, while IPT focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and social functioning. Both therapies are evidence-based and aim to help clients manage and overcome depressive symptoms by addressing underlying issues and providing practical coping strategies.
What happens in depression therapy?
In depression therapy, individuals typically explore the negative thoughts, behaviours, and patterns contributing to their depression. CBT may involve reframing distorted thoughts, practising problem-solving skills, and setting small, manageable goals. IPT focuses on improving communication and resolving conflicts in relationships. Therapy often includes emotional support and guidance on lifestyle changes that may improve mood and mental health.
What issues does depression treatment address?
Depression therapy addresses symptoms such as persistent sadness, low energy, feelings of worthlessness, and loss of interest in activities. Treatment helps individuals cope with negative emotions, manage self-criticism, and improve their overall quality of life. Therapy also targets any contributing factors, such as relationship difficulties, past trauma, or ongoing stressors, that may be exacerbating depressive symptoms.
What is the goal of depression therapy?
The goal of depression therapy is to reduce symptoms of sadness, hopelessness, and despair, while improving overall emotional functioning. Therapy aims to help individuals regain a sense of joy, purpose, and motivation by changing unhelpful thought patterns, improving coping skills, and addressing any relational or environmental factors that contribute to depression.
