Depression Therapy in Markham
Understanding Depression
Depression can look different for everyone. For some, it feels like sadness that won’t lift; for others, it’s irritability, fatigue, or emotional disconnection. In Markham, where many people juggle fast-paced careers, family life, and cultural expectations, it’s easy to appear successful while quietly feeling stuck or unhappy.
Therapy creates a space to understand what you’re experiencing and begin the process of emotional healing.
If you notice that worry, perfectionism, or high self-pressure are part of your experience, you might also be interested in learning more about anxiety therapy.
How Therapy Can Help
Our therapists use evidence-based approaches that address both the emotional and physical symptoms of depression.
We draw from:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: To identify negative patterns and rebuild confidence.
-
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy: To improve emotional regulation and mindfulness.
-
Cognitive Processing Therapy: To help process painful experiences or beliefs that keep you feeling stuck.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: To help you reconnect with what gives your life meaning.
Clients in Markham often work toward:
-
Reducing sadness, guilt, and fatigue
-
Reconnecting with motivation and joy
-
Managing negative self-talk
-
Building emotional awareness and resilience
If you’ve been feeling disconnected or emotionally distant in your relationships, exploring couples therapy or stress and burnout may offer valuable support alongside individual therapy.
