Naya Clinics Denver
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselors
Depression is a debilitating illness that takes many forms. Here at Naya Clinic, we have seen it leave the strong feeling helpless and the passionate lose their fire. Depression—like grief—is characterized by sadness or a lack of motivation. However, grief is an overwhelming—albeit normal—emotional response to the tragedies of life, whereas depression persists beyond—or even in the absence of—these tragedies. Depression often takes the joy from once-pleasurable pastimes and can fill its victims’ heads with negative self-talk, or—at its worst—even cause thoughts of ending their lives.

Denver Wellness Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Here at Denver Wellness Counseling we consider depression through the lens of neurobiology and the polyvagal system, meaning that depression is a hypo-arousal state and an attempt at self-regulation and self-preservation. Most people will experience Depression or Depressive symptoms at least once in their life, and normalizing this as a body's shut down response to extreme stress, loss, fear, panic, or grief can help de-stigmatize Depression and open the path for non-shame based healing. In therapy, working on depression can look many ways, but often includes components such as increasing awareness of the window-of-tolerance, exploring the origin and history of depressive symptoms, identifying and understanding contributing factors and life experiences (ex. negative self beliefs, loss, unhealed trauma, attachment wounds), applying healing methods (like EMDR) to these experiences, identifying and strengthening internal resources, learning to re-parent oneself, implementing self-care and tools for stabilization (somatic, grounding, relaxation), and integrating treatment gains into day-to-day experiences, self-identity, and relationships.

Dr. Robert Nemerovski
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Experiencing depression? Are you feeling hopeless and looking at your life negatively most of the time? Have you lost interest in most of your formerly pleasant activities? Are you isolating yourself and feeling alienated from loved ones and friends. Are you constantly fatigued and wanting to sleep all the time? Do you have thoughts about death?
These are some of the most common signs of depression, a very difficult-to-tolerate mood episode that many of us have experienced at one time or another. However, there is hope.
I help clients decrease their suffering from depression by working together on several fronts: identify and work through current and past experiences and issues that lead to the depression; examine and modify the “depressed thinking” that tends to maintain the overwhelming symptoms of depression; develop coping skills to reduce depressive reactions, build strength and self-confidence; and improve self-care, mindfulness, and life balance in one’s daily routines.
Some clients report benefitting from combining medication with psychotherapy. I am very experienced in helping such clients think about issues related to medication and collaborating with their physicians.

Rachel Fields
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Do you feel lost in a sea of meaninglessness? Do you feel empty and disconnected, just going through the motions of life? Are you scared this feeling will never end? Part of depression is the experience that it is a permanent state that will never change. It can feel hopeless and scary. You do not have to be in this place alone.

Adria Hagg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression can often lead to feelings of hopelessness, loneliness, isolation, despair and suicide ideation. It may feel that our thoughts are too powerful to reframe or manage. Therefore, our emotions take control. Through evidenced based therapy modalities, we can learn to overcome and manage depression and learn to heal by living in the present and challenging our negative internal dialogue.

Depression can sometimes be about: a series of painful life experiences piled up, grief that gets "stuck," or sometimes anger that belongs directed elsewhere but is directed toward yourself. I can help you unpack the root cause(s) and getting some relief.

Jerleen Sinkes
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
In my work with depression, I bring a compassionate, understanding heart to every session. I know how depression can cast a shadow over everything, making even the simplest tasks feel insurmountable. Our work together starts with creating a space where you feel safe to share your feelings and experiences, no matter how dark or deep they may seem. Together, we explore the root causes of your depression, whether they lie in past experiences, current stressors, or patterns of thinking. I employ a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices, aiming to shift negative thought patterns and introduce strategies that foster a sense of hope and well-being. My approach is about more than just managing symptoms; it's about rediscovering joy, meaning, and connection in your life. Together, we'll navigate this path towards healing, step by gentle step.

Sarah J Thompson
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC
Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self?
Do these thoughts often enter your mind?
I am worthless and can’t do anything about it.
I feel guilty for just wanting to eat, sleep and be alone.
I hate who I am these days.
I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others.
I feel gut-wrenching pain, but no one understands.
My life and the world around me are dark. I hate it, but I can’t change it.
If you have had any variation of these thoughts and don’t feel like your usual self, chances are you may be suffering from depression.
I want you to know that you are not alone and there are people who can help. Many of my clients find relief in realizing that their struggle does not own them and that there are many options available to once again have hope for their lives.
I understand the social stigmas that come with label of being depressed, and thus aim to help clients sort out their environmental, biological and circumstantial factors while offering support and care through a very dark time in their lives.
If you are hoping to finally lighten this load and feel like yourself again, contact me today for a free consultation.
