Depression therapy for men: when everything feels flat

You work directly with me, Umair Gill, RP (Qualifying), through individual virtual sessions in Ontario. You do not need a polished explanation of what is wrong to begin. We can start with what feels different in your day to day life and what you would like support with.

Start with your experience

Early conversations can explore energy, sleep, relationships, daily responsibilities, and what has or has not helped before. Numbness or low energy can have different causes; this page is not a diagnosis. A medical assessment can also be important, particularly for new or persistent physical symptoms.

Choose a manageable focus

The work may include looking at patterns of thought and behaviour, making room for difficult emotions, or finding small ways to reconnect with activities and people. The approach depends on your needs and preferences, rather than a fixed set of assignments. Read more about my background and approach.

Review the fit as you go

There is no guaranteed timeline for improvement. We can discuss what feels useful, what is not helping, and whether a different approach or additional support is needed. If difficult past experiences are part of what you want to discuss, you can also read about trauma therapy and pacing.

For practical details, see session fees and payment information and what a first therapy session can involve.

For general background rather than a description of this particular service, the NIMH psychotherapy guide explains common approaches and questions to ask a therapist. The NIMH depression overview discusses symptoms, assessment, and treatment options. These are US educational resources; local care arrangements vary.
