Depression Counseling in Dakota Ridge, CO.

Depression is hard! Sometimes it is all you can do to get out of bed in the morning. I offer a warm, inviting environment in which I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) to help you process your depression. Research has shown that these modalities can be just as effective as medication. I can also work with your primary physician if you decide that medication may be an appropriate supplement to therapy.

If you are experiencing situational or chronic depression, you need help. In a safe environment, we will explore the experiences and thought processes that lead to depression. Then, by reframing, I will help you keep what is true and discard the incorrect beliefs that caused your depression in the first place. I will encourage self-care as a way to manage and improve your mood including walking, journal writing and developing a strong social network. I will also explain the role of the brain in depression and discuss how medication can help.
