Depression Counseling in Boulder, CO.

Depression often results from other emotions or thoughts that have been pushed down. I provide questions as well as tools to begin to understand the deeper layers of depression. When anger is hard to feel or express, often it is pushed down and can create anger. It may be helpful to look at how anger was expressed in one's family growing up.

Depression comes from “depressing” uncomfortable, unacceptable and challenging emotions within you. The ultimate antidote for depression is expression, its opposite.

You get caught in obsessive loops of thoughts and cannot break free. Your feelings become blunted and your optimism is eroded. I can help you escape from the cages in your mind and the dullness of your current life. With or without medication, I will help you to learn and use techniques to gain freedom and recapture your emotional depth. You will learn to live more fully in the present moment, to criticise yourself less, and to appreciate the newly percieved options that surround you.
