Depression therapy that works
Depression is more than feeling sad. It’s a persistent heaviness that can make it hard to get out of bed, connect with people you love, or find meaning in things that used to matter. Major depressive disorder affects over 21 million American adults each year — yet fewer than half receive treatment.
At My Denver Therapy, our licensed depression therapists understand that depression looks different for everyone. Some people feel tearful and withdrawn. Others feel numb, irritable, or exhausted no matter how much they sleep. We’ll work with you to understand what’s driving your depression and create a personalized treatment plan that actually fits your life.
We use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — methods that research consistently shows reduce depressive symptoms and prevent relapse. Our therapists are available in Denver, Greenwood Village, Lone Tree, and Arvada, as well as via telehealth across Colorado.

Benefits of therapy for depression
Working with a depression therapist at My Denver Therapy can help you:
- Gain a new perspective — A trained therapist helps you see patterns in your thinking and behavior that may be deepening your depression, and offers a different way of looking at your experience.
- Feel less alone — Depression isolates. Therapy gives you a consistent, judgment-free space to be honest about what you’re going through.
- Build lasting coping skills — Learn practical tools — not just coping mechanisms — that change how you respond to difficult thoughts and emotions.
- Reduce stress and exhaustion — Identify the patterns that drain you, and find a clearer path forward that takes less energy to sustain.
- Understand your depression — Awareness of what triggers or maintains your depression is the first step toward real, lasting change.
- Reclaim motivation and joy — Through Behavioral Activation and other approaches, gradually reconnect with the activities and relationships that make life feel worthwhile.
What does depression commonly look like?
- Lack of energy or fatigue
- Inability to think, concentrate, or make decisions
- Loss of motivation, pleasure, or interest in activities
- General irritability, frustration, or anger towards everyday things
- Anxiety and restlessness
- Feeling empty, sad, guilty or hopeless
- Insomnia or oversleeping
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Thoughts of death, self-harm, or suicide (call 911 immediately if you’re having thoughts of harming yourself)
How do you know if depression therapy is for you?
You don’t need to be at your lowest point to benefit from depression therapy. If any of the following sounds familiar, it may be time to reach out:
- You’ve felt sad, empty, or hopeless for more than two weeks
- You’ve lost interest or pleasure in activities you used to enjoy
- You’re sleeping too much or too little, or struggling with appetite changes
- You feel worthless, guilty, or like a burden to others
- Concentrating, making decisions, or completing daily tasks feels unusually hard
- You’ve had thoughts of death or self-harm
You deserve support that goes beyond “just try to feel better.” Our Denver depression therapists will work with you to understand the root causes of your depression and build a clear path toward recovery — not just symptom management.
If you’re in crisis or having thoughts of suicide, please contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988.
We can provide medication for depression
At My Denver Therapy, our in-house psychiatric nurse practitioner Shannon Keane (PMHNP-BC) can evaluate, prescribe, and manage medication for depression and other mental health conditions. Shannon is board certified in both family medicine and psychiatry, and takes an integrated, whole-person approach to medication management.
For many people, combining therapy with medication produces better outcomes than either alone — and having both under one roof means your care team can coordinate seamlessly. Shannon sees patients at our Denver and Greenwood Village offices, as well as via telehealth throughout Colorado.
Other Specialties
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.
