Depression therapy that works

At some point in all of our lives, we encounter a level of sadness or depression to some degree—it’s often a normal reaction to difficult periods of time. However, when these feelings last for weeks, months, or even years, it can turn into depression that makes you feel lost, numb, hopeless, and heavily impact your day-to-day life.

If you’re feeling depressed or have had treatment-resistant depression for an extended period of time, you’re not alone. Depression is one of the most common reasons why people start seeing a therapist, and our Denver depression therapists can help. As part of one of the largest therapy practices in Colorado, our experienced depression therapists in Denver, Lone Tree, and Greenwood Village have decades of combined experience helping their clients find their way out of the darkness of depression and into the light, using evidence-based, proven therapy methods. 

Depression can be caused by many things, including chemical imbalances in your brain, traumatic life events, life changes, grief over the loss of a loved one, job loss, or just feeling like things no longer bring you joy. It can affect how you act, what you think, and how you feel, all of which can have significant effects on your physical and emotional health, and your social life. We can provide prospective on what you’re going through and provide you with skills to help you identify what’s causing your depression.

Wherever your feelings stem from, when you’re ready to make a change in your life, our Denver depression therapists are here to support you in your journey out of depression to help you rediscover feelings of peace, contentment, and joy.

Benefits of therapy for depression

Provide perspective
By speaking with a trained therapist, you can gain a different perspective on what you’re experiencing and feeling.

Have support
Have a safe, supportive place to share and heal.

Build skills
Learn new ways to think and react to what’s happening in your life with a new perspective.

Lower stress
It can be stressful to not feel like yourself or be yourself to others. We can help you identify patterns that create stressful situations related to your depressions and help you find a path forward.

Awareness
You become more aware of what’s causing feelings of depression and learn how you can talk about them. You also can be more aware of when your feelings are getting better or worse.

What does depression commonly look like?

How do you know if depression therapy is for you?

Are you struggling with feelings of sadness or hopelessness? Or finding it difficult to experience joy or happiness? These symptoms may be indicative of depression. By working with a qualified depression therapist, you can work through a personalized treatment plan to help you overcome your depression and feel like yourself again.

Emotional symptoms: sadness, hopelessness, anxiety, guilt, and loss of interest in activities

Cognitive symptoms: difficulty concentrating, indecisiveness, negative thoughts, and suicidal ideation

Physical symptoms: fatigue, changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, and aches and pains

We can provide medication for depression

At My Denver Therapy, our in-house psychiatric nurse practitioner Shannon Keane (PMHNP-BC) can provide medication management and prescriptions to help treat behavior, mood, and mental health issues. As a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, Shannon is dual certified in family medicine and psychiatry, and she strives to provide patients with comprehensive strategies to improve and maintain their mental health.

By combining therapy with medication management within one therapy private practice, we’re able to provide a deeper level of support and an integrated approach to mental health for clients who have depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, or are looking into Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Instead of searching for a therapist and a psychiatrist in Denver separately, we can save you time and create an integrated plan for your mental wellness by offering both in our Denver area offices.

Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are.

Meet our therapists

My Denver Therapy is one of the largest woman-owned therapy private practices in Colorado with many of the best, most requested mental health therapists in the Denver Metro area. 

As a therapist-owned practice with decades of combined experience, we care about seeing our clients heal, grow, and thrive. We’re one of the only therapy practices in Colorado with licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, addiction counselors, social workers, and psychiatric nurse practitioners who actively see new clients. Whether you’re an adult, teen, young adult, couple, or family, our inclusive therapist team is built to specialize in you.

Our practice started with one therapist in a shared office suite, but we’ve grown to help thousands of people in Colorado by providing in-person therapy at our conveniently located Denver Metro area counseling offices in Denver, Greenwood Village, and Lone Tree, plus online therapy for clients throughout Colorado. Because of the way our team works, our therapists also provide consultation for other therapists and private practices in the Denver Metro area.

Our inclusive therapists provide some of the most innovative, effective, and in-demand forms of therapy available today, including EMDR, Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, CBT, and IFS. We also have more therapists trained in Ketamine-assisted therapy, EMDR, and more teen therapists and young adult counselors than nearly every other private practice in Denver.

We know that clients want to find the best therapists in Denver, so our team includes therapists with different backgrounds, specialities, and experiences to help you find the right fit. We’ll match you with one of our therapists who is the best for your goals, location, budget, and schedule to help you get started quickly.

We’re out of network for insurance, Tricare, and are unable to take Medicaid, but most of our therapists’ rates are lower than the local and national averages for therapy. 

All of our therapists take a client-focused approach to counseling and approach each session with  a commitment to your progress and growth.
