As a therapist, I aim to create a non-judgemental and compassionate space where clients can feel seen, understood, and supported as they work through life’s challenges.

I have been working in private practice since 2021 with clients of all backgrounds.

I am a bilingual (Russian/English) Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Addiction Counselor. I graduated with Master’s Degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University in 2015 and have been in practice for over 11 years.

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.

My background is in dual diagnosis and focus on trauma, I love working with those who desire to heal from their past, challenging negative thinking patterns and behaviors. I work from an IFS and EMDR background, and regularly incoportate T-CBT.

We want to show the world that we have everything put together. Many times, we are struggling to stay afloat. Our quality of life is affected, and we find struggle in our relationships. Communication within ourselves and with others is compounded. Finding a non-judgmental and unbiased environment to process individually and/or together with partners and families can help to note the specific problem(s). By better understanding the problem, we are more successful in finding solutions. If we are informed, we are better in our decision-making. Therapy is a unique process, just like your life is unique.

If we have not contacted a professional for help, we are still doing some level of work. The work in the search for the next step. It is when we are lost in asking ourselves “How can I do better? How can I do better for myself and others?”. That’s when the next step of reaching out for help is needed. I am a therapist. I am human. I understand.

My passion lies in instilling hope that recovery and wellness is possible – and worth it! I specialize in eating disorders, mood & anxiety disorders, grief, and the unexpected twists & turns of life. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you as you navigate this journey.

I am a clinical forensic psychologist with over 35 years of experience working the matters that relate to psychology and the law. This includes assessments, reports, and testimony in court as well as family therapy for family reunification and other matters. I have a doctorate in counseling and educational psychology and a year of post-doctoral training in family therapy. I have written a book about healing from childhood trauma. I have been licensed in 5 states, most recently in Colorado.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works from the belief that people are not broken—and that many of the struggles we call “mental illness” make sense when we look at trauma, context, and lived experience. I’m especially attuned to the ways mental health systems, stigma, and labels can unintentionally cause harm, and I aim to practice in a way that feels respectful, collaborative, and deeply human.

My approach is unconventional and trauma-informed, influenced by perspectives like those of Gabor Maté, which emphasize compassion, curiosity, and understanding symptoms as meaningful responses rather than defects. I do not believe in rushing to pathologize the human experience. As Joni Mitchell once reflected about depression, sometimes what we’re feeling is not an illness to be fixed, but a signal—an honest response to pain, loss, or a world that has not been kind.
