Depression Therapy in Sault Ste. Marie
Understanding Depression
Depression can make it difficult to enjoy the things that once felt grounding such as the outdoors, relationships, or hobbies. You might feel tired, unmotivated, or detached from the world around you.
In Sault Ste. Marie, where community life and connection to nature are important, people often try to “push through” difficult emotions. Therapy can help you slow down, explore what’s really going on, and start to rebuild hope.
If you experience both sadness and anxiety, reading more about anxiety therapy may help clarify how the two are connected.
How Therapy Can Help
At Tiny Therapy Collective, we use evidence-based therapies to help you navigate depression and regain balance:
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: To identify and shift negative thinking patterns.
-
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy: To improve mindfulness and emotional stability.
-
Cognitive Processing Therapy: To work through past experiences that contribute to depression.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: To build meaning and resilience through values-driven change.
-
Behavioural Activation: To help you re-engage in activities that foster a sense of purpose and joy.
You may also find therapy for self-esteem helpful for addressing feelings of guilt or worthlessness that often accompany depression.
