Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Englewood, CO

Hello, my name is David Ejchorszt (pronounced eye-corst) I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Besides my passion for working with people in need of therapeutic interventions, I enjoy spending time in the mountains camping, fishing, hiking, and archery. I enjoy spending time with friends and my dogs. For me, life is an adventure, and I live to experience all that I can while assisting others in finding their true-life balance, for we all know, life is all About Balance.

Hi, I’m Shannon. I bring over 20 years of experience in healthcare, including more than a decade as a nurse practitioner. I’ve worked as a family nurse practitioner since 2013, and over time my passion led me to focus my practice on mental wellness and emotional health. My path through many roles in healthcare—from nurse’s aide to NP—shapes a thoughtful, whole-person approach to care.

Each of us has experienced difficulties in our lives that have impacted how we see ourselves, others and God. These experiences can result in anxiety, depression, grief, sadness and pain. Exploring these events from a holistic perspective allows us to find healing and wholeness-body, mind and spirit. I especially enjoy working with young adults, believing that the sooner we can be free from our skewed perspectives, the more we can walk in wholeness and health. A healed perspective allows us to make healthy choices for our future. I believe clients who have a safe place to share their story can find lasting healing.

I offer individual counseling. I am trained in EMDR. I am a wife, mom of four including an adult child with special needs, and a grandmother. I have experienced healing in many areas of my life and believe that healing and wholeness is possible for my clients.
