Depression Counseling in Edgewater, CO.

Depression is a mood disorder that can cause a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest that can interfere with daily functioning. Reaching out for help is a step towards wellness. Symptoms of depression can vary from person to person, but it is a very treatable condition. Therapy for depression helps you overcome the feelings of hopelessness and despair and to gain control of your life.

In our work together around depression, I aim to create a space where we can separate the influence of depression from your identity. Rather than viewing depression as a personal failure or flaw, we explore it as something external that has its own story and impact on your life. Together, we’ll examine how depression has shaped your experiences, but also uncover the skills, values, and beliefs that resist its influence. This approach allows us to collaboratively strengthen your preferred identity and reconnect with meaningful aspects of your life, creating openings for hope and agency.

Sometimes, life can feel really hard. You've got the blues and you just can't seem to shake them. You know you just aren't feeling like yourself, but you aren't sure what to do to pull yourself out of the pit. Here at Thrive, we offer a compassionate and safe place for you to work through feelings of depression. We will help you make sense of your challenges, understand your experiences, and craft a plan to put your life back on track. We would love to be that caring support in your corner, pulling for your healing.

I have suffered from depression myself in the past and not first hand how devastating it can be. Although it may seem like you will never feel normal again, that doesn't have to be the case. Depression is one of the most treatable mental illnesses. Psychotherapy is a very effective way to process what is behind the depression and can help get one through their depression.

Life is hard and many people suffer from some form of depression during their lifetime. In some ways, depression can be a healthy indicator that something isn't working. Like other symptoms, finding out and understanding the root cause of your depression is the goal, not just the management of that symptom. Depression can be burdensome and can impact the quality of your life and of those around you. I can help you understand yourself better, your needs, and help you live in more congruence with who you are.

You want to enjoy your life and relationships more, have more energy, and get rid of feelings of emptiness, sadness, and loss. You probably have physical pain as well. Depression is very common, and it can be debilitating. We can help you to make small, quick changes to your life that will put you on the road to being depression-free. We will explore how your thoughts, emotions, and actions can create a dance that will help you instead of harm you. We provide a warm and caring presence that helps you to tailor our time together to meet your unique needs.

When working with depression, I use a combination of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), talk therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when working with adults and teens and play therapy when working with children. If there is a clinical depression diagnosis, Neurofeedback or consulting a doctor about medication options may also be recommended as a part of the treatment process.

Whether depression has been present since early childhood or came on after a challenging situation, depression makes everything in life harder. The feelings of depression can be intense and overwhelming, they can also be dull and numb. In counseling we take the times to explore what your experience of depression is like for you and create a plan reconnect to your most meaningful life. One of my primary therapeutic approaches is ACT-Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. In this model we learn many tools and interventions to release the grip of the struggle from our internal and external experiences, and start moving towards the things that really matter, give your life meaning value.

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.
