Depression is more than just feeling sad — it can affect every part of your life, from your relationships and work to your physical health and sense of self. At Evans Counseling Group, our licensed therapists specialize in helping individuals work through depression and find their way back to a life that feels meaningful and full.
What Does Depression Look Like?
Depression shows up differently for everyone. Some people feel a heavy sadness they can't shake. Others feel numb, disconnected, or simply unable to find joy in things they used to love. Many people don't recognize what they're experiencing as depression at all.
Common signs that therapy might help:
-
Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
-
Loss of interest in activities you used to enjoy
-
Low energy or constant fatigue
-
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
-
Changes in sleep — sleeping too much or too little
-
Changes in appetite or weight
-
Withdrawing from friends, family, or daily life
-
Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
How We Treat Depression
Our therapists take a personalized approach to depression treatment — because what works for one person may not work for another. Treatment may include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy The most researched treatment for anxiety — helps you identify and shift the thought patterns that fuel anxious feelings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Often used for severe depression and helps you manage intense emotions, develop distress tolerance, and build coping skills.
Behavioral Activation A practical, evidence-based approach that helps you gradually re-engage with life and rebuild a sense of purpose and pleasure.
EMDR For depression rooted in past trauma or painful life experiences, EMDR can help process what's underneath.
Your therapist will work with you to find the right approach — never a one-size-fits-all solution.

Common Questions About Depression Therapy
How do I know if I need therapy for depression?
If low mood, lack of energy, or feelings of hopelessness have been affecting your daily life for more than a couple of weeks, talking to a therapist is a good next step. You don't need to be in crisis to reach out.
What type of therapy works best for depression?
CBT is one of the most well-researched treatments for depression. Many people also benefit from behavioral activation, mindfulness-based approaches, and EMDR when trauma is a factor. Your therapist will help determine what fits your situation best.
Does insurance cover depression therapy in Denver?
Yes. Evans Counseling Group accepts most major insurance plans including Medicaid. Contact us to verify your specific coverage.
Do you offer online depression therapy?
Yes. We offer telehealth sessions for clients across Colorado. Online therapy is just as effective as in-person and works well for people managing depression who find it hard to get out of the house.
