I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 15 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care. I work with children ages 10 and older, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, trauma, and psychotic disorders. Many of the clients I support feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck and are seeking clarity, stability, and relief.

My go-to approach for treating depression is often a psychodynamic approach, CBT, or DBT. I prefer these approaches because they allow the client to possibly see the root cause of their depression and to focus on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to depression, helping them develop coping mechanisms and manage their symptoms effectively.
In depression counseling, I often teach cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques like identifying negative thought patterns, challenging distorted thinking, behavioral activation to increase positive activities, relaxation techniques, problem-solving skills, journaling, mindfulness practices, gratitude exercises, social support building, and setting realistic goals.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling when they demonstrate noticeable improvements in their mood, energy levels, and ability to engage in activities they enjoy, as well as reduced negative thinking patterns, increased coping skills, and a more positive outlook on life.
Clients can supplement their depression counseling with regular exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, practicing relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing, prioritizing sleep hygiene, journaling their thoughts and feelings, connecting with supportive social networks, pursuing hobbies they enjoy, and actively challenging negative thought patterns by practicing cognitive restructuring techniques.
To prepare for your first depression counseling session, you can make a list of symptoms and concerns, identify specific goals for therapy, gather information about your medical history, consider recent life changes that might be impacting your mood, and write down questions you have for your therapist; it's also important to be open and honest about your feelings and experiences during sessions.
Depression counseling can help those with major depression, minor depression, postpartum depression, persistent depressive disorder, and more. The providers at Thriveworks in Littleton, CO will develop a unique treatment plan based on your specific experience, needs, and goals.

The philosopher Atticus once stated, “Depression is being colorblind and constantly told how colorful the world is.” Depression is such a powerful mood disorder precisely because it can dull a person’s entire reality. Your world can go from color to black and white from one week to the next. Relationships and occupations that used to be energizing now feel too taxing to maintain. Just getting out of bed can be a struggle. It’s an awful place to be, but there is help available.
Thriveworks depression counselors in Littleton, CO can treat everything from mild depression to severe symptoms. They do so with unbiased compassion and expertise, helping people return to the reality they love. Reach out today to schedule your first depression therapy session with one of our compassionate counselors.
