Currently Accepting NEW Clients- Hello, my name is Zach DePledge. In the 12 years I have been working in mental health I have grown a passion in working with teenagers, young adults, and parents. Society places so much pressure on us these days to be perfect. What I have found is the comparison game we play in our minds destroys our self-esteem and can cause anxiety, depression, and many other mental health struggles. Parents are left wondering "am I parenting correctly?" Most of the times we don't talk about our struggles because we don't want to appear weak, in turn we are left struggling alone.

What focus?? Stress Anxiety Distractions. You can't always eliminate them BUT you can learn to Manage them. As a psychologist and coach, I can show you how by teaching you smart tools to calm your mind. Calm your body. Get your focus back. Enhance your mental focus to increase productivity and reduce stress at work, school or home. We can explore creative ways to ease difficult relationships, whether at work or in your family. I listen empathically to uncover blocks, lack of focus, and relationship issues that get in your way of joy and success.

Relational Trauma Specialist accepting new clients. Hi there! Do you struggle with relating? Do you feel like you are not understood as a child? Do you have complicated relationship with your family?

It takes incredible courage to challenge our traumas and become the person that relates healthily. I am here to support you on that journey.

I believe that we are complex beings of thoughts, emotions, knowledge, beliefs, behaviors, and experiences. My approach is to use cognitive-behavioral (CBT), acceptance and commitment (ACT), and positive psychology therapeutic interventions with trauma-informed care practices in a safe and non-judgmental environment to overcome stressors, heal, and grow with a foundation of compassion and empathy.

Relationships are an important part of the foundation of our lives, both the relationship we have with ourselves, and the relationship we have with others. The relationship we have with ourselves can be challenged by internal conflict, feelings of being stuck, and fears that stops us, causing our lives to be unsatisfying. Since we 'live' in all 3 time periods, the past, present, and future, we want to make sure that our past 'stories' are not interfering in our present lives. And then by understanding what our fears are, we can have a better view of the future. Overall, we can become more present. Secondly, the relationship we have with others is influenced by how we're doing, so getting our own 'house' in order will help us be better in relationship! We can experience less defensiveness and more openness. Counseling is an unique opportunity to reconnect with ourselves and others. It's an opportunity to pay attention to parts of ourselves that we try to ignore. It's also an opportunity to have the life that you want and deserve.

Navigating life is a complex and tumultuous process. Every day, we're tugged in myriad directions, confronted with decisions at every turn that ask us to balance relationships, work, self-care, and personal growth. This constant barrage of "shoulds", responsibilities, and pressures in life creates an unrelenting current of stress and anxiety and leaves us worn thin and wondering, "why is it so hard to feel good?" It's no wonder that we find ourselves grasping at food, alcohol, tv, sex, drugs, and social media to relieve this tension. However, the relief provided by such behaviors is temporary and only exacerbates the problem.

I am a somatic therapist specializing in EMDR Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in Boulder, Colorado. I guide teens and adults seeking relief from anxiety, depression, disordered eating, chronic illness, and other impacts of trauma and chronic stress on the nervous system.

Online only- Feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed? Struggling with your mood, substance abuse, a challenging family or relationship dynamic? I believe that no matter what you have been through, or are currently facing, you have the capacity to heal and thrive. After working for years, with a high level of success, with some of the most traumatized, addicted, and overlooked individuals in society, I have a broad knowledge and ability to help or assist many who are stuck or feel they cannot be helped.

We'll figure this out together! Get back to baseline and begin to build the life you want to live. I'll help you learn to use your body as a resource for your mind. Beginning with simple breathing techniques & physical movements to aid in emotional management & reduction of stress, anxiety, & depression. For those who are ready, we will do the deeper work of releasing unprocessed emotions & old storylines that may be silently running your life in the background. Thus transforming hardships into wisdom & personal power to propel your life forward in whatever direction you choose.

My approach to therapy begins with slowing down, settling in, and getting curious about what your mind and body are trying to tell you. It is important to acknowledge the increasing speed and aggression in our world that can influence our consciousness and behavior - we can sometimes feel we are at the mercy of, or complicit with these environmental forces. I encourage my clients to take full responsibility for the difficult feelings they encounter as we explore behavioral changes that make sense.

Hello, I'm so glad you found me! I am a licensed psychologist with over 13 years of experience working with college students, adults and couples who are facing various challenges, ranging from anxiety and depression to life transitions and relationship stress.

What is challenging for you at this time? Are you struggling to adjust to current circumstances, unsure how to think about and plan for the future? Are relationships, work, finances, home, schooling, health, or ways of enjoying life adversely impacted? Could you use support in relating to whatever difficult emotions are arising? Would guidance in how to address difficult issues be helpful? Would you like to explore opportunities within the challenges? Are you ready to grow and to expand? Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, I will offer you non-judgmental listening and skilled support.

There are many struggles we face in life and sometimes we don’t feel properly equipped. Issues with money, food, relationships, trust, sex, body, self-esteem… come up and sometimes we get stuck using very well-intended safety strategies that no longer work. Whatever struggles you are facing, we can work together to identify how they came to be, why they are important, and what you need to transcend them. This process is invaluable, profound and deeply fulfilling. My focus is support you to do the work of staying with the process, being aware when you need to pull back or move in and encourage your continued commitment to yourself.

Effective therapy begins with a solid, trusting relationship between you and your therapist. I create a warm and open environment where we can build that trust and begin to address your concerns. We will use elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Interventions and Interpersonal Therapy to actively create the change and growth you are seeking.
