Your Path to Healing Starts Here: Therapists Who Help
Hi, I'm Ann Robinson (she/her)! I specialize in helping millennial women navigate the highs and lows of depression.

My eclectic approach combines psychodynamic approaches, internal family systems, mindfulness, and EMDR to create personalized strategies that truly resonate with each client.
When I'm not in the office, you’ll find me sipping on a dirty chai, lost in a good book, or trying to keep up with Taylor Swift's latest hits (I’d identify as a closeted Swiftie)!

When I'm not in sessions, you can find me hiking the beautiful Colorado trails with my dog, Luna, or binge-watching my comfort show, Friends!

Outside of work, I’m either trying to keep my houseplants alive or planning my next adventure to an unexplored corner of the world. And yes, I'm totally obsessed with dogs—so don’t be surprised if I ask about your furry friends!
Hi! I'm Heather Madigan, a licensed clinical social worker.

Outside of the office, I can be found walking behind my two rescue dogs, Kota and Olive. I love to get lost in mystery and crime novels, take on too many DIY projects that are rarely completed, and camp during warm weather.
Common Signs of Depression
We all feel sad, moody, or low sometimes; it’s a normal part of life. If these feelings come and stay for more than 2 weeks, it might be a sign that you have depression. Depression affects over 40% of Coloradoans. It's a serious condition that affects your physical and mental health. It’s important to know that it is treatable, and it’s worth talking to someone about it.
When to seek support for depression
Depression affects how you feel about yourself. It can make life more difficult to manage from day to day. You might lose interest in things you usually enjoy.
You may lack energy, have trouble sleeping, or sleep more than usual. Some people feel irritable, and some find it hard to concentrate.
What does depression feel like?
Everyone experiences depression differently. However, different types of depression have particular symptoms. They may also appear at different times. For example, postpartum depression appears during childbirth, while seasonal affective disorder appears during winter (for most) and summer (for some).
Some are talked about more often than others. You might have heard of clinical depression and bipolar. Types such as cyclothymic disorder and dysthymic disorder aren’t mentioned as frequently.
Sometimes, we use different names for the same type of depression. For example, clinical depression is also called major depressive disorder.
