Depression Therapy in Guelph
Understanding Depression
Depression can make you feel disconnected from yourself, your goals, and even the people you love. It may show up as fatigue, irritability, or difficulty concentrating. In Guelph, a community often celebrated for wellness and growth, struggling internally can feel isolating, especially when everyone around you seems to be thriving.
Therapy offers a place to explore these feelings without judgment, to understand their roots, and to find sustainable ways to move forward.
If you’ve been experiencing constant worry or emotional overwhelm alongside depression, you may also want to explore anxiety therapy.
How Therapy Can Help
Our therapists use evidence-based approaches that target both the thoughts and behaviours that keep depression going.
We draw from:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): To challenge negative thought cycles and self-blame.
-
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): To improve emotion regulation and self-soothing.
-
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): To process past experiences that continue to influence mood.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): To help you take action aligned with your values.
-
Behavioural Activation: To reintroduce meaningful activities that bring a sense of achievement and connection.
Clients in Guelph often work toward:
-
Restoring balance and emotional stability
-
Regaining motivation and purpose
-
Managing guilt or hopelessness
-
Strengthening confidence and self-worth
If your depression is tied to self-criticism or perfectionism, learning more about therapy for self-esteem can be an empowering next step.
