Depression Counseling in Welby, CO.

Depression may show up in a variety of different ways for you; you may notice that you are feeling deeply sad, lonely, and alone. You may also be noticing that you are lacking in energy, inspiration, and motivation. Depression or overwhelming feelings of sadness and despair are often clues that something deeper is going on within your psyche and within your body. More often than not there is a reason for your depression, even when you are not consciously aware of it. Your body doesn't speak in words, the way your mind does, rather it communicates with you through your feelings, sensations, and emotions. Often ignoring your emotions can intensify your feelings of depression.

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.

Depression can leave people feeling disconnected, depleted, or stuck. Therapy takes a trauma-informed, relational approach, helping clients understand how depression may be connected to past experiences, attachment patterns, or nervous system overwhelm. Through experiential and evidence-based interventions, clients often develop practical tools for emotional regulation, increased self-compassion, and renewed engagement in daily life, relationships, and a sense of meaning over time.
