Depression
Katherine Coder
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC
Depression often comes from life experiences that leave us feeling trapped, helpless, hopeless and stuck. Our bodies move us into freeze responses to help shield us from some of the pain we are feeling but do not know how to fix. Over time, we can become patterned to stay in this freeze response. Working with depression, we tend to the underlying stuck issues and pain in a supportive and gentle way to help your nervous system move through the freeze and find more balance. We will look at the patterns keeping you stuck mentally and emotionally as well to see where we can help you find a way to challenge some of your current ways of approaching life situations so you can live in ways that feel better to your authentic self. We do all of this together so that you feel strong support along the way.

Elinor Nygren Szapiro
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LPC, EMDR II, Brainspotting Certification, Hypnotherapy
Depression can be such a debilitating and hopeless feeling. Often when we're depressed it can feel as if we are in a hole and there is no way out. And it can seem like any other view of things, other than the 'depressed' view, is not accurate, not real. So it can sometimes get to a point where we feel like there is no use in even trying to get better. This is where talking to a therapist who specializes in depression can help. I work with depression from several approaches, including: helping clients resolve the situation(s) that are contributing to their depression - teaching clients numerous ways to relieve the depressive negative thoughts that increase the depression - helping clients clear their uncomfortable body sensations and feelings that go along with depression - helping clients take do-able action steps, which help overcome the depression and isolation.

Depression
Susana Levy, Makaua Art Therapy
Art Therapist, LPCC, ATRP
My specialty centers on supporting people living with depression through mindfulness-based, person-centered practices that gently foster connection, meaning, and inner vitality. I am deeply passionate about rituals and rites of passage as supportive frameworks during times of heaviness, loss, transition, and renewal, offering moments of intention and hope when motivation or clarity feels distant. As a cacao facilitator and yoga teacher, I integrate embodied movement, conscious ritual, and heart-centered practices to help individuals reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and sense of aliveness. I value creating a nurturing, creative, and nonjudgmental space where thoughts, emotions, and sensations can be explored with compassionate presence, grounded in the here and now, allowing space for healing, expression, and gradual reconnection to self.

Depression
Xandra Hawes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Depression often feels like a numbness or heaviness that disconnects you from yourself and the world around you. Together we explore the deeper emotional, spiritual, or energetic roots of that heaviness while giving your nervous system the support it needs to soften and reopen. Using mindfulness, somatic work, compassion practices, and soul-level inquiry, you begin to reconnect with your inner light and sense of purpose. Healing depression is not just about feeling better. It’s about remembering yourself.

Depression
David Redbord
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MPH, LPCC
“If you’re depressed, it’s because you’re living in the past. If you’re anxious, it’s because you’re living in the future. If you’re at peace, it’s because you’re living in the present.” – Lao Tzu
Depression happens because we have unresolved past pain that’s weighing us down. It’s stuck pain that deprives us of motivation and energy to do things we know we’d enjoy, to create negative stories about ourselves and the world, and to not even want to get out of bed in the morning.
If we can release that past pain, so it’s no longer weighing us down, we feel better. We’re able to experience joy again. We get our energy back and the ability to move forward.
Other potential causes of depression are not experiencing meaning and purpose in our lives, or not expressing our creativity. Through uncovering more meaning and purpose, and finding ways to express our creativity, we can move stagnant energy and start to feel better.
I’d welcome the opportunity to support you in uncovering the root cause of your depression and to help you move toward feeling better and more invigorated. We can work together to release the burden of past pain, and to live from a greater sense of meaning and purpose.

Depression
Megan Ramos
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LPC
Depression can be an intelligent coping strategy that our bodies and nervous systems create to protect from feelings we haven't been able to or had the right support to turn towards. I help people meet this pattern and honor the intelligence, and this can lead way to a shift and opening into more aliveness.

Depression
Chris Davis
Counselor/Therapist, M.A.
Depression can leave life feeling smaller, heavier, and increasingly disconnected from the people and experiences that once mattered. I work with clients to understand both the emotional experience of depression and the patterns that can develop around it—withdrawal, isolation, self-criticism, hopelessness, or simply going through the motions. Therapy becomes a place to reconnect with yourself, understand what has been happening, and gradually begin moving toward a life that feels more meaningful and alive.

Depression
Natalie Stemati
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Depression can weigh a person down and makes all aspects of life seem impossible. Therapy is often helpful for managing depression, especially through taking a mind-body approach to help cope with symptoms as well as understand the root causes. I take a holistic approach. We take a look at functional nutrition resources, work on incorporating daily body movement, and increase effective coping skills. We also explore the emotional piece of your depression. This is where I often see client's relate with themselves in a very self-critical way and we explore and practice the antithesis, which is self-compassion.

Boulder is home to the University of Colorado Boulder and has one of the highest educational attainment rates and most progressive cultures of any American city, with exceptional access to therapy—CU's graduate programs produce many trained clinicians—alongside the specific pressures of a city with extreme housing costs, intense social comparison around physical fitness and achievement, and a large university student population. The 2021 King Soopers mass shooting created community-level trauma that remains present in Boulder's collective consciousness, and local therapists have significant experience with trauma-informed care. The city's outdoor recreation culture and emphasis on wellness are genuine assets but can also create pressure around physical appearance and lifestyle perfection that feeds anxiety and disordered eating. Common therapy concerns include academic perfectionism, housing insecurity anxiety, trauma, the psychological pressure of an exceptionally high-achieving and health-conscious culture, and student mental health.
