DAY & EVENING, IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL
Depression is more than sadness, and it often arrives quietly. More often it’s a slow flattening — things that used to matter stop mattering, getting through the day takes everything you have, and you find yourself wondering when you last felt like yourself. If that’s where you are, you’re not failing at anything, and you’re not alone. At GreenValley Counselling Services in Cambridge, we offer depression counselling that helps you understand what’s underneath it and find your way back toward feeling like yourself again.
Depression affects thoughts, body, and daily life, and it shows up differently for everyone. You might recognise:
Depression is treatable. It can stem from many things — life events, loss, stress, brain chemistry, or no clear cause at all — and you don’t need to know the reason before getting help.
There’s no single right treatment for depression, and the best approach depends on you. At our Cambridge office we draw on several, often in combination:
We’ll talk through what fits your situation rather than fitting you to a method.
Getting started begins with a quick conversation with one of our client care coordinators, who will listen to what you’re looking for and match you with a therapist who fits. From there you can book a session directly, or, if you’d prefer, arrange a free introductory call with the therapist first — whichever feels more comfortable. In your early sessions, we’ll get a picture of how depression is affecting you and what might be feeding it, then work at a pace that suits you — rebuilding energy and momentum gradually rather than all at once.
There’s no shared waiting room at our Cambridge office. You’ll come up to the hall outside our office door, where there’s seating, and your therapist will meet you at your appointment time. It’s a quieter arrival than a clinic waiting area — the hall is shared with the other offices in the building, so you may occasionally pass someone, but you won’t be sitting in a room full of other clients.
Here’s the walk from the front door to one of our upstairs offices.
Flexible scheduling: evening and Saturday appointments available.
If low mood, loss of interest, or exhaustion has lasted more than a couple of weeks and is affecting your sleep, work, or relationships, it’s worth talking to someone — you don’t have to wait until things feel unbearable. A short conversation with one of our client care coordinators can help you figure out whether counselling is the right step.
There’s no single best approach — it depends on what’s driving your depression. At our Cambridge office we use CBT, DBT-informed skills, IFS, and EMDR, and your therapist will talk through which fits your situation. CBT is one of the most researched approaches for depression, but it isn’t the only effective one.
Sessions at our Cambridge office start at $170. Many extended health plans cover therapy — our team includes a Registered Social Worker and Registered Psychotherapists, so it’s worth checking what your plan covers.
No — you don’t need a referral to book counselling in Ontario. You can reach out to us directly to get started.
Many people notice a shift within the first several sessions, though it depends on what’s underneath the depression. Therapy works at a pace that suits you, rebuilding energy and momentum gradually rather than all at once.
Depression responds well to treatment, and you don’t have to have it all figured out before you get in touch. A short conversation with one of our client care coordinators is enough to get started.
