Depression & Low Motivation

When everything feels heavy and even small things take all your energy, therapy should do more than just “talk about it.”

At SolutionFirst, we help you lift the weight and start feeling like yourself again by matching you with a therapist who specializes in depression and low motivation.

Our Methods

Get Matched With a Therapist

You’ll be matched with a therapist who has specific training and experience in treating depression and low motivation.

Our specialists use proven, evidence-based methods like:

  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
    to challenge hopeless or negative thought patterns
  • ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)
    to help you reconnect with meaning and values
  • Compassion-Focused Therapy to rebuild self-kindness and inner motivation
  • Behavioural Activation to help you take small, practical steps toward feeling better
What We’ll Work On Together

Our depression specialists don’t just help you “cope.” They help you understand, rebuild, and move forward.

Therapy is tailored to your experience, whether it’s burnout, emotional exhaustion, or long-term low motivation.

You’ll work together to

  • Understand what’s keeping you drained or disengaged
  • Learn tools to lift your mood and restore energy
  • Create small, consistent changes that rebuild motivation
  • Manage negative thinking patterns effectively
  • Feel more grounded, capable, and confident in daily life
