What is Depression?

Depression is more than just feeling sad — it’s a persistent mental health condition that affects your thoughts, emotions, and daily functioning. It can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming and rob you of joy.

Whether you’re looking for depression therapy in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Etobicoke, or anywhere in Ontario, our compassionate team offers effective therapy for depression that meets you where you are — emotionally and geographically.

What Are the Symptoms of Someone Dealing With Depression?

Depression manifests differently for everyone, but common symptoms include:

  • Persistent sadness or emptiness: “I feel like I’m stuck in a dark cloud, and nothing brings me joy anymore.”

  • Fatigue and low energy: “Even getting out of bed feels like a huge effort.”

  • Loss of interest in activities: “I used to love painting, but now I can’t even pick up a brush.”

If these thoughts sound familiar, you’re not alone. Depression is treatable, and therapy can help.

Why Work With a Therapist to Overcome Depression?

Therapy for depression is one of the most effective ways to manage and overcome this condition. Here’s why working with a trained therapist makes a difference:

  • Clinically proven methods: Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and other depression therapy methods have been shown to reduce symptoms in 60-70% of patients

  • Personalized support: Clear Moon Therapy tailors depression treatment types to your unique needs, whether you prefer in-person sessions in the GTA or virtual therapy across Ontario.

  • Safe space to heal: Therapy provides a non-judgmental environment to explore your feelings and develop coping strategies.

For South Asians and other culturally diverse communities, stigma around mental health can make reaching out difficult. Our team offers culturally sensitive depression counselling designed to help you feel understood and supported while honoring your background.
