About David
David Demorest is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self esteem, depression, grief, anger, and major life changes. He aims to build a trusting relationship first and then tackle the issues most important to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that people can use between meetings.
David brings 19 years of counseling experience and a varied background to his work. He also holds a masters in mental health counseling and a masters in biology/biochemistry, and he spent many years working as a radiochemist. That scientific background informs how he understands behavior and mental health.
His work is flexible and practical. He typically starts by identifying specific problems, then co-creates a treatment plan that can be adjusted as progress is made. If a different approach would be more helpful for a particular issue, he may refer to another professional.
David uses a mix of approaches such as client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. He has experience with biofeedback and neurofeedback as additional tools for concerns like anxiety, depression, and addiction.
Outside of work, he spends time in Idaho and near Jackson Hole, enjoys skiing, canoeing, fly fishing, and being in nature. He has three adult children and two grandsons, and he brings a straightforward, down-to-earth style to sessions.
