Depression can make its way into every part of your body, your thoughts, how you feel, your work, your motivation and your relationships. If you don’t catch it as it moves in it can take over your life.
Depression can start after a loss, break-up, life transition, trauma, or maybe you’ve just always felt this way.
Regardless of where it has stemmed from, depression can feel crippling and can alter everything. Simple tasks like taking a shower become impossible.
At Denver Metro Counseling, we have been providing depression therapy in Denver since 2013.
Our founding clinician has been providing therapy for depression and suicidality since 2006 and provides support, training and consultation for other therapists in providing trauma-informed care for depression and suicidal experiences.
Help for Depression
Reach out for help
It can feel like there is no connection in life anymore, no meaning, no purpose. It feels hopeless, heavy, and excruciatingly painful. You may feel like you wish others could understand, or wish that others could help you, but have no idea how to get there.
When it is time to seek help
Depression has no barriers. It affects people of all ages, race, gender, sexuality, socio-economic status and religious background.
Historically, talking about depression or “the blues” was not acceptable and therefore, even further isolating. The good news is, today, more than ever, people are opening up about their depression and other struggles.
You are not alone. Our depression therapists are here to help you through this.

To learn more about crisis services or to help yourself or someone else in crisis call 1-844-493-8255 (TALK) or text “help” to 38255. You can also visit Colorado Crisis Services’ website at www.coloradocrisisservices.org.
Our priority is your safety and helping you find ways of connecting with life, sharing your story, and connecting with hope.
Suicide is part of the human condition.
Having thoughts of suicide does not mean there is something wrong with you, it means you are struggling with some part, or parts of life.
Having thoughts of suicide doesn’t mean you are in need of hospitalization either.
We believe talking about suicide and all the things that contribute to suicide thoughts and urges can help create safety.
We will work with you to develop a safe plan that works for you. We will walk with you, therapeutically, through your crisis and be with you on the other end where there is light.
It Is Okay to Talk About Suicide with Our Depression Therapists
We offer both in-person and teletherapy appointments for your convenience. We have found that teletherapy is effective and convenient and may make “showing up” for appointments less difficult.
We want to help and want to talk with you about your options and what might work best for you.
What If I Need More Than Talk Therapy?
If you need more than talk therapy, we also offer EMDR and soon will offer psychedelic-assisted integration therapy. We also collaborate with other providers who offer groups and other support.
