Do you have feelings of sadness and hopelessness, problems sleeping or are you experiencing a loss of energy and interest in daily activities? Feeling sad or having mood swings are just normal reactions to the ups and downs of life that everybody experiences. But if emptiness, worthlessness and helplessness have taken hold of your life and will not go away, you may be suffering from depression.

Most often, depression interferes with one's daily life and causes distress for both you and those who care about you. It makes it tough to function and enjoy your day-to-day life. You can no longer work, study, eat, sleep and enjoy life like you once did. Some even experience depression that is like living in "a black hole".

Our therapy for depression is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It's your automatic dysfunctional thinking that perpetuates your depression. It keeps you in a downwards spiral of negative thoughts about yourself and the world around you. With the guidance of our online therapy program for depression and your therapist, you will learn that these negative thoughts are not reality. Rather, they are dysfunctional beliefs about your self and your life, and are something that can be replaced with more realistic and healthier ways of thinking. Using CBT you will learn coping strategies, so that you eventually will be able to face previously feared situations without getting anxious or feeling depressed. The focus of the therapy is not on the past and what caused your depression symptoms. Your therapist will work on making you feel better about yourself, here and now - and in the future.

"Great platform with interactive dashboard that provides more than simple counselling sessions. The onboarding system and survey is in depth and insightful, working to pair with a therapist/counsellor who has the right experience and tools to help. Scheduling system is clear and easy to navigate. Staff I've interacted with have been kind, professional and helpful."

"Great quality therapist, I like the structure of the plan but would be better to be able to assign a weekly recurring slot with a therapist that wya you can meet at the same time every week instead of manually booking"

"I use the basic subscription. I needed someone to help me get through a difficult time. Messaging back and forth with a therapist online worked well for me. It allowed me to express my feelings, emotions. You can write as much and as often as needed. Response time is usually timely. There are different levels of interaction if you need more. The site offers different tools to use. No pressure on what you do. I am grateful for this therapy program. I felt extremely comfortable throughout my time spent here. I recommend it for anyone in need of help."

"Super helpful to discuss what's on my mind openly. Alan has been very thoughtful and understanding of my situation specifically. Definitely personalized sessions. I would recommend. The price is right and it improved how I was feeling and helped me move on from something."
