Depression Counselling in Maple Ridge

Have you noticed that some days just feel harder to get through – even when nothing specific has gone wrong?

Maybe it’s the morning you can’t quite get out of bed, or the workday that feels like walking through fog.

Perhaps you find yourself sitting in the car a few extra minutes before going inside, or realizing you’ve stopped replying to texts because even small interactions feel like too much.

At Innova Therapy Maple Ridge, we understand how depression can quietly drain your energy, dull your motivation, and make even simple task like cooking a meal, folding laundry, or getting through emails can feel like climbing a mountain.

For some, it’s the loss of interest in things that once brought joy; for others, it’s the constant feeling of being “on edge” or emotionally flat. However it shows up for you, we’re here to help you make sense of what’s happening and begin the process of healing.

Our compassionate counsellors provide a safe, confidential space where you can slow down, breathe, and start unpacking what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but it begins the moment you stop facing it alone.

What Depression Can Look Like

Children who have been emotionally abused will struggle to stay focused in school, lash out or become inwardly abusive to themselves.

Depression doesn’t always announce itself as sadness. Sometimes it’s quieter, slipping into our days in ways we don’t immediately recognize.

It might feel like:

Feeling numb or detached – you’re there, but not really present, almost like life is happening around you instead of with you.
Losing interest in things that used to bring joy – hobbies, friends, or routines that once felt comforting now feel like chores.
Feeling irritable, overwhelmed, or “on edge” – small things trigger big reactions, and patience feels hard to find.
Sleeping too much or too little – rest never feels restful, or mornings are a struggle no matter how early you go to bed.
Questioning your worth or purpose – those quiet, persistent thoughts that whisper, “What’s the point?” or “I’m not enough.”

Many of our clients describe it simply as, “I should be fine — I just don’t feel like myself anymore.”
Maybe you still show up for work, family, or friends, but inside, you feel flat or disconnected. Or maybe you’ve been putting on a brave face for so long that you’re just tired – tired of trying to hold everything together.

Counselling offers a space to slow down and name what’s really happening underneath the surface. Together, we work on gently reconnecting you with a sense of hope, purpose, and self-compassion – one small, steady step at a time.
