Depression Counseling in Black Forest, CO.

Depression can be either an unhealed emotional wound or a chemical imbalance in the brain, or both. The Good News is that depression is completely curable. Having a confidential, safe person, like a therapists, where you can pour out your feelings and know you will not be judged is key in healing. We may be angry at others, ourselves or even God. As a Christian therapist, I am aware that it is common to not want to admit we might be angry at God. Don't worry, He can handle it. Part of my therapy is to ask the Lord to show us the source or root of the depression and the beliefs around it. The Lord wants to heal, comfort, and restore hope in those who are depressed.

Children ages 4 through 16 may be experiencing signs of depression, including extreme sadness, irritability, suicidal ideation or attempts, self-harm and are showing less desire to complete activities they once enjoyed. This can be impacting them at home, in school, with friends, or in general. Counseling/psychotherapy sessions often incorporate play-based, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavioral strategies.

Depression looks different to different people. Sometimes it manifests externally, in behaviors and appearance, and is apparent to others. Sometimes it is an internal battle that no one else bears witness to, that is hidden with facades. Regardless of how depression is embodied and expressed, it is a heavy and dark experience that seems without hope and without end. I provide a safe, therapeutic relationship that allows the space for you to verbalize and process through your experience. By allowing another human to sit with you in your pain, you are giving yourself permission to let go of the binds that keep you in a dark place. It would be an honor for me to take that journey with you.
