Teletherapy for Colorado

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* When things get rough with your child it doesn't just impact the child it can have an impact on the entire family system. I can help you, your child and family cope with behavioral or emotional difficulties and build skills that translate in many different areas of life. School and work can put a lot of stress on us and I work to help the client regulate their emotions and use appropriate coping skills. Family dynamics are a huge area of our life and can cause strife. Utilizing Systems theory I work to address the areas affecting the client negatively and help them learn ways to deal with these stressors.

When you’ve done everything you know how to do and you still feel stuck, counseling can provide a safe place to process, and help provide tools to help get you get unstuck, and get you feeling better, and more feeling connected to those you love. I work with children, teens, adults, and couples to address; depression, anxiety, grief and relationship issues. I also have special training in working with military connected families, expats, TCKs on issues of mobility, transition, deployment, expatriation, repatriation, and more.

Life is full of difficulties, disappointments, and pain, as well as growth, joy, healing, and adventure, and sometimes we need help bridging those two things in our life. In sessions with clients, I am committed to creating a safe and supportive space to collaborate on healing and self discovery together. Within sessions, I meet clients with curiosity and without judgment as I invite them to be vulnerable, experiment, and take risks. Having experienced therapy personally, I know of the importance of gaining a strong, safe, and empowering relationship between therapist and client, and this is one of my biggest priorities in my work.

Do you feel depressed, lonely, angry, anxious, stressed out, or empty? Are these issues getting between you and reaching your goals? it is time to seek help. This is the first step to healing.

Ever imagined what life would feel like if your problems didn’t hover over you like a cloud? The desire is there but maybe the pain is too overwhelming or you're unsure of where to start. I would love to take this journey with you!

We all face challenges that at times can feel overwhelming. Experiences of grief, loss, illness, and trauma can impact our ability to cope from day to day. My approach to therapy is client-centered, with the goal of meeting you where you are and providing a safe, empathetic, non-judgmental space where you feel open to sharing your experiences. You and your story are unique and important! As we build trust and safety, we can create a plan to guide therapy that will support you in meeting your goals.

I love helping clients create a personalized tool belt to successfully navigate depression, anxiety, emotional distress, relationship challenges, substance abuse, eating disorders, and trauma. This helps clients to navigate well beyond the therapy session, allowing more well-balanced life. I believe that each person is wonderfully unique and enjoy helping each client discover how to work within their own belief systems and values.

Welcome! Please take your time to choose a therapist that you feel would be a good fit—doing so is vital to the overall process of therapy. My style? I want clients who are ready to learn, grow, and finally feel in control of their lives again. I am very passionate about my work and will give you resources in between sessions so that you aren't limited to progressing just once a week for 45 minutes or an hour. In this way, I try my best to be the "guide on the side"—rather than the "sage on the stage"—for my clients.

Is it ever going to get better? Am I enough? Do you still love me? Will we make it? These are some of the questions you may have. Through Life Counseling and Wellness Center, you'll be able to find a measure of hope and peace in the chaos. We will help you reconnect to what makes life worth living. Life is not about waiting out the storm, it's about learning to dance in the rain. I look forward to working with you, David Durtschi LPC, MA, NCC

I work with individuals who want to make a change in their life but solutions and where to start feel far or impossible. We will become a team that will learn what you need and how to get you to where you want to be. Ideally, an individual working with me would be open to bringing nature and or movement into the session, however, that is not required. I simply believe that trauma, anxiety, and other symptoms can get stuck in the body and movement helps as well as nature. Walking creates linear thinking and fresh air can give a sense of calmness.
