What we help with
About
In Chilliwack, people often reach out to us when low mood has started to dull ordinary life. You might sleep in later and still wake up tired, leave messages from friends unanswered, or find that hobbies you used to look forward to now feel like chores. Everyone has heavy days. When the heaviness stays for weeks and starts to affect work, family or how you look after yourself, talking with someone may help.
You can see a depression counsellor in Chilliwack at our office at 6325 Matheson Rd, or meet by video from anywhere in BC. The free 15-minute consultation lets you ask questions first, with nothing you have to decide on the call.
Depression therapy in Chilliwack begins with a free consultation by phone or video. Based on what you share, our intake team suggests counsellors who fit what you need, your language and your budget, in person on Matheson Rd or by video. In the first session, you and your counsellor talk about how low mood shows up for you: your sleep, energy, appetite and the thoughts that keep coming back. You can share as much or as little as you like.
Over later sessions, you may notice the harsh things you tell yourself and try kinder ways to see them, plan one small, doable activity for the week, or build a gentle routine around sleep and meals. Many people find these small steps can help them feel more like themselves over time. You can meet in person in Chilliwack or online, and some people switch to video in weeks when low energy makes travel hard.
Depression is a constant feeling of sadness and disinterest that might make you think that you will never feel good again. It can make it incredibly difficult to find meaning and purpose to continue functioning on a daily basis.
