Depression Therapy

Support That Makes a Difference

Feeling sad is a normal part of life—but depression is more than just sadness. It’s a deep, ongoing emotional pain that can impact your energy, motivation, and relationships.

If you’re struggling with depression, you might feel:

• Emotionally numb or empty
• Unable to enjoy things you once loved
• Guilt, shame, or low self-worth
• Changes in appetite or sleep
• Persistent fatigue or low energy
• Difficulty focusing
• A constant wave of negative thoughts
• Hopelessness or suicidal thoughts

Even simple tasks like getting out of bed or replying to messages can feel overwhelming. You’re not alone – and support is available.

At Alivera Counselling Psychotheray in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, we provide professional, personalized therapy for depression to help you feel like yourself again.
