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.

"I've had a positive experience working with Vanessa. She's been warm, approachable, and easy to talk to.

I appreciate how she listens without judgment and gives me the space to explore my thoughts and feelings openly. I came into therapy already working through some things on my own, and Vanessa has been a supportive and encouraging presence throughout that process.

Our conversations have given me a space to talk through what's happening in my life, reflect on my progress, and feel heard, particularly at times when I've felt alone. She's been encouraging and happy to see the progress I've made, which I've really appreciated.

I'm glad I found Vanessa and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive, and understanding therapist."

"I like that it is online and you don’t have to drive to a real-world establishment. You can work at your own pace, rather than be obligated to work at someone else’s pace. The tools are helpful and easy to navigate. The worksheets make it easy to express."

"Online-therapy has given me a chance at working towards a more positive mindset and life. The worksheets they have has helped me tremendously in processing the negative thoughts in my mind, and has helped me think about my triggers. I can now apply those worksheets into my daily life to help me control my emotions instead letting my emotions control me."

"It is a nice done journey, going section after section, and revealing more and more about your own thoughts and self. I was a kind of confused with the layout - each time going not to my worksheets but to the explanations how it works instead."
