This page lists Asian Depression Psychotherapists in Toronto. 8 in all.
That is 8 of the 60 psychotherapists listed in Toronto.
These are practitioners who identify as Asian on their profile. It is their own answer. We do not check it, and nothing here is ranked.
Other practitioners chose South Asian, or East and Southeast Asian. This filter does not include them 1.
You can filter the same list by the languages a practitioner works in. Ask a practitioner which language they are comfortable working in.
How depression is treated
Effective psychological treatments include behavioural activation and cognitive behavioural therapy 2. Interpersonal psychotherapy and problem-solving therapy are also used.
Effective treatment exists for mild, moderate and severe depression. A depressive episode means low mood, or loss of interest in things you enjoyed. It lasts most of the day, nearly every day, for at least two weeks.
Low mood after a loss or a hard year is not automatically a disorder, though support can help. Ask a practitioner what they would suggest, and why.
What psychotherapy works on, and how long it usually runs
Everyone on this page describes their work as psychotherapy. A psychotherapist works through talking with you about your thoughts, feelings and behaviours 3.
Psychotherapy usually runs longer than counselling and aims for clinical change. It works on patterns that repeat rather than on one current problem.
A psychotherapist trains in psychological treatment rather than in medicine. What that training covers, and which approach a practitioner uses, differ between practitioners. Ask which approach a psychotherapist trained in, and how long they usually work.
What this page filters on
These are the only filters: the practitioner's stated Asian identity, the specialism recorded as Depression and the professional title psychotherapist.
