Depression Counselling in Alberta

When you’re struggling with depression, even the simplest tasks can feel overwhelming. Your energy may be low, your motivation might fade, and everything can feel like “too much.” You might find yourself withdrawing, feeling numb, or moving through the day on autopilot. 

Depression is not a personal failure. It’s a sign that your mind and body are asking for support — and depression therapy, including cognitive behavioural therapy, can help you find your way forward. 

At Petals to Wings Counselling, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, understand your patterns, and receive the mental health support you need to feel more grounded and connected again.

Depression therapy supports healing by helping you understand what’s beneath the heaviness — and offering structured skills to navigate it through mental health support. 

✔️ Understanding where your emotions come from  

We explore the emotional, environmental, and relational factors contributing to how you feel.  

✔️ Reducing negative thinking patterns  

Using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), we gently challenge the thoughts that keep you stuck in cycles of hopelessness or self-criticism.  

✔️ Strengthening emotional regulation  

Through DBT and mindfulness, we work on calming your internal world so you feel less overwhelmed.  

✔️ Rebuilding connection and meaning  

We focus on rediscovering what brings you purpose, joy, and a sense of personal identity.  

✔️ Developing practical, everyday coping strategies  

You learn tools you can use outside sessions to support your mood, energy, and overall wellbeing.

Your sessions are shaped around your pace — never rushed, never pushed beyond what feels safe. In our cognitive behavioural therapy sessions, you will receive comprehensive mental health support tailored to your needs. A typical session may include: understanding your weekly emotional patterns, naming feelings without judgment, learning grounding skills for difficult moments, exploring how past experiences influence your present, reconnecting with strengths, values, and personal needs, and building small, doable steps toward emotional balance. This approach is particularly beneficial for those seeking depression therapy.

I combine evidence-based and holistic strategies with genuine warmth and curiosity to provide effective mental health support. My approach includes various therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), depression therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, gestalt therapy, and EMDR. Together, we create a tailored plan that aligns with your goals, personality, and readiness.

People often seek mental health support and turn to therapy when they experience: 

Persistent sadness or heaviness 

Emotional numbness or difficulty feeling joy 

Fatigue, low motivation, or burnout 

Irritability or feeling emotionally 'flat' 

Feeling disconnected from themselves or others 

Difficulty concentrating or making decisions 

Overwhelm during life transitions 

These feelings can be addressed through cognitive behavioural therapy or depression therapy. Your experience is valid — and it’s welcome here.

Depression can make the world feel small and dim, but mental health support can help you feel lighter, clearer, and more connected over time. Engaging in depression therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy, provides you with a space to breathe, reflect, and gently rebuild your sense of self.
