What Is Depression?
Depression is more than just feeling sad. It is a serious mood condition that affects emotions, thoughts, and physical health. It affects how you think, feel, and function in daily life, making even small tasks feel overwhelming. While depression can develop for many reasons, it often involves a mix of biological, psychological, and situational factors.
Types of Depression
Therapy for depression in Calgary can help with many forms of depression, including:
- Major depressive disorder (MDD)
- Persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia)
- Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
- Postpartum depression
- Depression linked to grief or trauma
- Depression with anxiety
Common Symptoms Include:
- Low mood or persistent sadness
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed

How Depression Therapy Works
I use proven therapeutic approaches to address the thoughts, emotions, and behaviours linked to depression:
- Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) – Identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Build acceptance, mindfulness, and values-based living
- Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) – Process painful memories and reduce emotional distress quickly
- EMDR Therapy – Reframe negative beliefs and reduce trauma-related symptoms
- Behavioural Activation – Reintroduce positive, mood-boosting activities into daily life
These methods aim to improve mood, restore motivation, and help you feel more connected to life.
