Depression Therapy in Ottawa

Understanding Depression

Depression can feel heavy, overwhelming, and isolating. It’s more than just “feeling sad”... it can impact your energy, sleep, appetite, relationships, and sense of hope for the future. Living with depression may leave you feeling stuck in cycles of fatigue, guilt, or self-criticism. If you’re here, know that reaching out for support is a powerful step toward change.

At Tiny Therapy Collective, we specialize in helping people in Ottawa navigate depression with compassion, evidence-based care, and a focus on your strengths.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy for depression provides a supportive space to better understand what you’re going through and develop tools to move forward. Our therapists in Ottawa use approaches such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), and mindfulness-based techniques to help you:

  • Identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns

  • Develop healthier coping strategies

  • Rebuild motivation and energy

  • Improve sleep, mood, and daily routines

  • Strengthen relationships and communication

  • Create a path forward that feels realistic and hopeful

Everyday Supports for Managing Depression

Alongside therapy, there are small steps that can help you cope day to day:

  • Routine: Establishing gentle structure in your day (meals, sleep, movement).

  • Connection: Reaching out to supportive friends or loved ones.

  • Mind-body practices: Breathing exercises, stretching, or mindful walks.

  • Journaling: Writing down thoughts and feelings to gain perspective.

  • Self-compassion: Remembering depression is not your fault — and healing is possible.
