Depression Therapy in Moncton, Gander & Online Across Atlantic Canada

In-Person & Virtual Depression Counselling | Moncton, NB | Gander, NL | Online Across NB, NL, NS, PEI & ON | Direct Billing Available

Depression doesn't always look like sadness.

Sometimes it feels like exhaustion, numbness, irritability, losing interest in things you used to enjoy, struggling to get started, or simply not feeling like yourself anymore.

At Everest Therapeutics, we provide depression therapy in person in Moncton, New Brunswick and Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as virtual depression counselling across New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Ontario, depending on therapist registration and availability.

Our therapists support adults and youth experiencing depression, persistent low mood, emotional numbness, loss of motivation, isolation, burnout, grief, low self-esteem, and depression connected to ADHD, trauma, relationships, postpartum changes, or major life transitions.

Our approach is compassionate, practical, and individualized. Depending on your needs and your therapist's training, counselling may incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, behavioural strategies, somatic and nervous-system approaches, trauma-informed therapy, and other evidence-informed approaches.

What Can Depression Feel Like?

Depression can look different from one person to another.

You may feel deeply sad, or you may not feel particularly sad at all.

For some people, depression feels more like disconnection — going through the motions, struggling to care about things, or knowing intellectually that something should feel good while not actually feeling it.

Depression may show up as:

• Persistent sadness or low mood

• Emotional numbness

• Feeling disconnected from yourself or others

• Loss of interest in things you once enjoyed

• Low motivation

• Difficulty getting started

• Fatigue or feeling constantly drained

• Irritability or frustration

• Difficulty concentrating

• Changes in sleep

• Withdrawing from friends or family

• Feeling hopeless or stuck

• Low self-esteem

• Increased self-criticism

• Difficulty keeping up with everyday responsibilities

• Feeling like you're simply going through the motions

You don't need to wait until things become unbearable to seek counselling.

“I Don't Feel Like Myself Anymore”

Sometimes people have difficulty identifying what they're experiencing as depression.

You may still be working, parenting, studying, socializing, or taking care of responsibilities while privately feeling disconnected from your life.

Things that once mattered may feel less meaningful. You might find yourself cancelling plans, withdrawing, struggling to start tasks, or feeling as though everything requires more effort than it used to.

Therapy can provide space to understand what has changed and what may be contributing to the way you're feeling.

Depression & Low Motivation

Low motivation is often misunderstood as laziness or a lack of discipline.

When you're experiencing depression, everyday tasks can require significantly more effort.

Therapy can help you understand the relationship between mood, energy, avoidance, routines, expectations, and motivation.

Rather than relying on “just push through it,” counselling can help you develop realistic strategies for gradually reconnecting with activities, relationships, and parts of life that matter to you.

Depression, Burnout or Both?

Burnout and depression can sometimes look similar.

Both may involve exhaustion, low motivation, difficulty concentrating, irritability, emotional numbness, and feeling disconnected from things you once cared about.

Burnout is often strongly connected to prolonged demands or chronic stress, while depression can affect many areas of life regardless of the immediate situation.

They can also occur together.

Therapy can help you explore what's contributing to the way you're feeling rather than requiring you to figure out the correct label before asking for help.

Depression & ADHD

ADHD and depression can overlap in complicated ways.

Executive-functioning challenges, difficulty starting tasks, emotional regulation, rejection sensitivity, chronic overwhelm, masking, and repeated experiences of feeling “behind” can affect self-esteem and mood.

Everest Therapeutics has several therapists with specialized ADHD training or certification, and our team includes neurodivergent therapists.

Counselling can help explore how ADHD, depression, anxiety, burnout, or a combination of these experiences may be affecting your life.

Depression & Trauma

Trauma can sometimes contribute to depression, emotional numbness, withdrawal, difficulty trusting, shame, disconnection, or feeling stuck.

Everest Therapeutics has several therapists with advanced training in trauma, PTSD, complex trauma, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-focused therapy, and somatic and nervous-system approaches.

When depression and trauma overlap, therapy can address the underlying experiences and patterns rather than focusing only on mood.

Depression After Loss or Major Life Changes

Depression can emerge during or after significant changes.

Relationship endings, grief, becoming a parent, moving, illness, career changes, caregiving, retirement, changes in identity, or other major transitions can affect mood and your sense of stability.

Sometimes there isn't one identifiable reason.

Therapy provides space to understand what's happening without requiring you to justify why you're struggling.

Depression During Pregnancy or Postpartum

Pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and becoming a parent can involve significant emotional changes.

Everest Therapeutics provides pregnancy and postpartum counselling, including access to a therapist with advanced specialized training in perinatal mental health.

Therapy can support clients experiencing postpartum depression, low mood, anxiety, overwhelm, identity changes, relationship changes, or difficulty adjusting to parenthood.

How Can Depression Therapy Help?

Depression counselling may help you:

• Better understand changes in your mood

• Identify patterns contributing to depression

• Gradually reconnect with activities and relationships

• Develop realistic routines

• Address self-criticism and shame

• Improve emotional regulation

• Explore grief or major life changes

• Understand connections between depression, ADHD, anxiety, or trauma

• Develop healthier coping strategies

• Strengthen self-compassion

• Reconnect with your values and sense of identity

• Identify changes that may make everyday life feel more manageable

Therapy isn't about expecting you to simply “think positively.”

The goal is to understand what you're experiencing and work collaboratively toward changes that feel realistic for your life.
