Online Depression Therapy and Anxiety Counseling in Colorado & Texas
Specializing in supporting teens and adults with depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and neurodiversity
You’ve done everything you can to make things in your life work, but you’re not satisfied or happy.
You’ve been feeling it for a while.
This ick, this anxiety, this creeping feeling that you need a change and you need it now. On the surface, your life is ok, but underneath you feel like you are treading water. And to be honest, you are starting to lose the energy to tread.
You’re isolated and lonely, and the pain only gets worse as time goes by. You’re so accomplished in the external world, and yet, you feel so numb and alone when you’re by yourself.
Some days you overeat, or have an extra glass of wine or two, or sleep too much just to avoid the suffering you’re going through. You’re so stuck in sadness and grief and despair that you feel close to a breakdown.
You want to feel better, but don’t know what to do.
Or maybe you’ve got a stressful job, with a lot of responsibility. You get plenty of positive feedback from colleagues and clients, but you don’t believe them. Even with the therapy you’ve done, things that happened in the past won’t leave you alone. You feel worthless and always take the blame when things go wrong.
You feel unseen in so many of your relationships, both work and personal. You’re scared of abandonment, so you hold back from saying things to keep the peace. You keep yourself constantly engaged to avoid the work to show up for yourself and your life. When you’re too anxious or sad, you stay in non-stop busy mode, or the opposite, and you become paralyzed by depression and can’t get out of bed all day. You’re ashamed and angry with yourself.
You think that strong and successful people aren’t supposed to need help.
Maybe you’re scared to lean into those deeply painful memories of things that happened in the past. It’s too hard to remember, to feel those feelings.
You’re tense and anxious. You’re not sleeping well. You’re frustrated with yourself for not dealing with things you need to get done, but when you think about it, it’s overwhelming. You keep avoiding it, but it keeps getting worse. You feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and that at any moment you could break.
You fear failure, you’ve dealt with abandonment and rejection in your life, and do whatever you can to feel worthy and that you belong. At times you’re not sure who you are; it’s hard to believe in yourself when your brain lies to you and tells you everything that’s wrong with you, that you’re broken.
There is nothing wrong with you and you are not broken.
I can help you break free from the past.
You think the pain you feel is normal, that it’s just something you have to live with, but you deserve relief. You deserve to take control of your thoughts. You deserve to be loved, by yourself and others. You deserve to find joy in the little things. You deserve a life worth living.
I’m Emily, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in helping millennials who feel lost and scared — no matter how strong and accomplished they are — re-connect with themselves and their dreams and discover what brings them joy and happiness.
Most of my clients have been thinking about working with a therapist for a while, but they're not always sure their problems are serious enough to get help. They've been OK with how things are, even though things aren't really OK. Many of my clients have trust issues and want to make sure they're emotionally safe before opening up their hearts, which I honor and respect.
After all, it's not always easy to shift from carrying the weight of your emotions alone to feeling vulnerable and trusting a therapist.
My clients learn that it can be a profound experience to be heard with compassion and kindness. Most usually feel lighter and more hopeful after the very first counseling session, and always leave with at least one new idea to try out during the week.
Doing this deep, healing work gives you a chance to slow down and reflect, and make fresh, new conscious choices. For a lot of clients, it’s their special “me” time every week. And they enjoy working virtually; it’s the most efficient and convenient way to juggle a busy schedule and there is a comfort being in your space while you talk about the hard stuff.
People usually work with me once a week for an average of 12 months months. As we work together, you’ll be getting tools for long-term success, and learning and using strategies and techniques that will serve you for many years.
You’ll work hard for sure. But it won’t all be horrible and terrible! I love sharing ideas about good books and movies and laughing together - humor is a big part of my therapeutic approach.
My hope for you is that you’ll feel safe every step of the way.
