Depression

Support for When Life Feels Heavy, Hopeless, or Numb

If you're feeling like everything takes too much effort, even getting out of bed, you're not alone. Depression doesn’t always look like constant sadness. It can show up as exhaustion, irritability, loss of interest, or simply not feeling like yourself anymore.

At Four Wings Psychology, we offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for depression in Nepean and virtually across Ontario. Whether you're experiencing clinical depression, burnout, or just know something's not right, we’re here to help you find your way forward.

Signs You Might Be Living with Depression

Depression affects people differently, but common signs include:

  • Persistent low mood or sadness
  • Feeling empty, numb, or disconnected
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
  • Changes in sleep or appetite
  • Feelings of guilt, shame, or worthlessness
  • Physical fatigue or body pain
  • Thoughts of hopelessness or not wanting to exist

You don’t need to meet all the “criteria” to deserve support. If your emotional pain is interfering with your life (or you’re just tired of carrying it alone) therapy can help.

How Therapy Helps with Depression

Therapy gives you space to slow down, process what's weighing you down, and rebuild from a place of self-understanding and strength. At Four Wings Psychology, we offer a collaborative and supportive approach to treating depression, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – to help reconnect with your values and live with more intention
  • Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) – to explore the emotional roots of your pain and feel more connected to yourself
  • Mindfulness and grounding tools – to increase emotional awareness and reduce reactivity
  • Narrative Therapy – to help you re-author your story with compassion and hope

Whether your depression is situational, long-term, or linked to trauma, we tailor therapy to meet you where you are: not where others think you “should” be.
