Depression can feel heavy — not always as obvious sadness, but as exhaustion, numbness, disconnection, or the sense that life has become harder than it should be.

You may be functioning on the outside, yet internally feel stuck, unmotivated, or far from yourself.

At Access Therapy, we offer depth-oriented, evidence-based depression therapy for adults who want to reconnect with life again and get back to who they were. Our licensed depression therapists help you understand what’s underneath the depression and support lasting emotional healing and renewed clarity.

We provide receipts after every session and sessions are eligible for reimbursement through most extended health insurance plans.

When Depression Starts Affecting Your Life

Depression can show up in many ways, including:

  • persistent low mood or emotional heaviness

  • feeling numb, disconnected, or “not like yourself”

  • loss of motivation, joy, or meaning

  • fatigue, burnout, or difficulty getting through the day

  • withdrawal from relationships or social life

  • harsh inner criticism, shame, or hopelessness

  • difficulty concentrating or feeling present

  • patterns that linger even when life looks “fine” externally

  • suicidal thoughts in the more persistent cases

Depression is not a personal failure — it’s often a signal that something inside needs care, support, and attention.

Our Approach to Depression Therapy


Our depression therapists provide trauma-informed, relational care that supports healing at the root — not just temporary relief.

With the right toolkit and support, progress can be made even on persistent, long-term or severe depression.

Depending on your needs, therapy may integrate:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • EMDR or Brainspotting when trauma processing is needed

  • attachment-based and relational approaches

  • nervous system and somatic support

  • trauma-informed care for underlying wounds

Together, we’ll explore what depression may be protecting, expressing, or carrying — and help you reconnect with steadiness, meaning, and emotional aliveness.
