Depression Therapy
Rediscover Your Energy in Centennial, CO
Depression is heavy, but you don’t have to carry it alone. We offer a low-pressure space with practical, human support to help you navigate the fog and feel like yourself again.
When the world feels gray.
Depression is more than sadness. It's that constant fog that makes you lose interest in things you used to love. Maybe you're struggling to sleep, or maybe you're sleeping too much because it's the only way to escape the fatigue. It's a lot to carry.
Our approach isn't about giving you a list of chores to do. It's about looking at why things feel this way and finding practical, low-pressure ways to start feeling a little lighter. We move at your pace. If some days all you have the energy for is just showing up, that's plenty. The goal is to help you re-engage with your life without feeling like you're constantly fighting against yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
When you're in it, it feels permanent. But depression is something we can actually work on. Most people start noticing a shift simply by having a place where they don't have to hide how they feel. From there, we start building back your resilience, one step at a time.
Some days are harder than others. You don't have to "perform" or have a big breakthrough every time we meet. If you show up tired or quiet, we'll work with that. This is your time, and there's no pressure to be "on."
Friends are great, but they usually want to "fix" you or offer advice that might not fit. Therapy is different. It's a neutral space where we use specific tools to help you break out of the thought patterns that depression creates.
We focus on talk therapy here. If we think medication might help you get some traction, we can talk about it and help you find a specialist in the area. It's always your choice.
There's no set timeline. Some people feel a lift after a few months; others stay longer to make sure those changes actually stick. We'll keep checking in to make sure you're getting what you need from our sessions.
That's the depression talking. Reaching out isn't a sign of weakness; it's a smart move when what you've been doing isn't working anymore. Everyone needs a hand sometimes, especially when life feels this heavy.
Payments & Rates
I want to be transparent about my current availability—I have limited space for clients using insurance but more availability for private pay clients.
While I understand that using insurance can be important for many, private pay offers several benefits. It allows for greater flexibility in treatment, ensuring that your therapy is tailored to your unique needs rather than being limited by insurance restrictions. Private pay also provides more privacy, as your records are not shared with insurance companies, and it eliminates the potential for session limits or diagnosis requirements imposed by insurers.
If you're considering using out-of-network benefits, I have an insurance benefits calculator available to help you determine your coverage. You can use it to check if your insurance plan offers reimbursement for therapy sessions.
If you have any questions or want to explore your options, please reach out—I'd be happy to help!
