Kush Desai, LCSW

Kush Desai, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CO
I commend you for taking the first step to seek help. Recognizing you need additional support and making your first appointment is the hardest part. I look forward to meeting you and walking alongside you in your journey. My approach I take an eclectic approach to my work with clients. Depending on the needs of each individual, I help clients examine their thoughts and beliefs about themselves and others and how these long-held ways of seeing the world impact their perceptions, reactions, and actions. Through increased insight, I help clients break free of beliefs and thinking patterns that no longer serve them. Alongside gaining insight and changing thinking patterns, I assist clients in learning and using tangible coping skills to improve their day-to-day functioning. As clients start functioning better, I partner with them to explore their actions, goals, and values to ensure that the way they show up in the world and with others is how they want to. If there is inconsistency between how they want to show up and how they are showing up, I work with clients to understand what is keeping them in place, what matters to them, and ways to move toward the type of life they want to live. My focus I do my best work with older adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. I am also comfortable working with clients facing ADHD, relationship issues, stress, self-esteem, and job dissatisfaction. I provide both in-person and telehealth sessions. Often, when people think of grief, their first thought is of a physical, tangible loss. Loss can take many forms—from losing a person, a relationship, or an identity to losing a sense of life purpose and meaning. When we experience a loss, it often feels like a part of us has been ripped out. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Denver, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support clients through their unique challenges and growth.
