About Nachshon
Nachshon Zohari is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of clinical experience in Colorado. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and compassion fatigue. He also focuses on concerns such as abandonment, attachment problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and panic symptoms.
He began his clinical career at a drug rehabilitation clinic in Salt Lake City called Project Reality. That early work gave him hands-on experience with people facing substance use and relapse. He later moved into a combined clinical and management role at Denver Health’s Outpatient Behavioral Health Services, running individual and group sessions and supervising five clinicians.
After Denver Health, he worked with Denver’s Department of Child Welfare where he managed contracting with behavioral health agencies and provided clinical consultation to case workers. He then led the Denver Office of Drug Strategy, coordinating city staff and community providers on substance-related initiatives. When that office merged with the Denver Office of Behavioral Health Strategies, he continued community engagement work around behavioral health policy and services.
In private practice he provides clinical care that draws on decades of varied settings. Sessions are practical and aim to clarify patterns, reactions, and coping options. He helps people name how guilt and shame show up in their lives and address the behaviors and thoughts that keep those feelings active.
People who reach out often want straightforward conversation about what is keeping them stuck. He offers direct clinical experience and a history of program-level work alongside one-on-one care.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. One common approach looks at how thoughts and beliefs keep guilt and shame active and works to shift unhelpful patterns. This helps people who are stuck in repetitive self-blame or avoidance.Another approach targets trauma-related reactions and works to reduce the hold of past events on present behavior. It involves paced work to recognize triggers, manage intense reactions, and develop clearer coping choices. These methods are often used for anxiety, panic, and post-traumatic stress concerns.
Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about current needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest where to start. Adjustments are made along the way based on what is helpful in regular sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to continue care consistently when life or schedules change.
