Depression Therapy in Etobicoke & Ontario

I’m Regina D’cruz, a Registered Psychotherapist based in Etobicoke. My passion is helping people like you navigate life’s tougher moments with kindness and understanding. If you’re ready to take that first step toward feeling better, I’d love to walk alongside you.

Understanding Depression

Depression is so much more than just sadness—it’s a unique, often overwhelming experience that’s different for everyone. My approach is all about meeting you where you are, listening to your story, and offering strategies that feel right for you. Together, we’ll tackle the challenges holding you back.

Therapy That’s Truly Yours

No two people are the same, and neither should their therapy be. I blend techniques that fit your personality and needs, creating a space where you can open up without judgment. It’s just you and me, exploring what’s on your mind in a way that feels safe and meaningful.
