About TE Wellness

TE Wellness is me — Tasha Eichenseher, MA, MEM, LPCC.*

I came to counseling and coaching as a profession later in life. I’ve always been interested in people — what motivates and inspires us and prompts us to do the things we do, consciously or unconsciously. And I’ve always been interested in ecology — what environmental systems, communities, and families need to thrive. This first led to a career in journalism, listening to and reflecting back people’s words, feelings, and stories. Then I earned a master’s degree in environmental management and held jobs reporting on environmental science and policy, and their impact on people and the planet.

While I was a journalist and editor in Washington, DC, I did my first yoga teacher training and started teaching group yoga classes. This lit me up. I loved supporting people as they came into alignment — physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Eventually I moved to Colorado, where I became the editor of Yoga Journal — a 50-year-old publication that shares the wisdom of this ancient practice. In 2019 I started a master’s program in mindfulness-based transpersonal counseling at Naropa University — a Buddhist institution in Boulder. Since then I have studied and been inspired by many therapeutic modalities and philosophies, including:

• Gestalt

• Humanistic Therapy

• Existential Therapy

• Internal Family Systems and Parts Work

• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

• Somatic-Based Therapy

• Nature-Based Therapy and Ecopsychology

The foundation of my practice is based on the premise that humans are inherently whole and want to move toward connection, health, and wellbeing. We can get there by understanding and moving through difficult emotions, as well as processing past traumas. Equally important is experiencing joy, comfort, calm, and safety. Mindfulness, somatic, and nature-based practices can help us feel resourced, relaxed, regulated and ready to face more challenging feelings, memories, experiences, and transitions.

I offer clients ways to experiment with and study what is and is not working in their lives, helping to guide them toward nervous system regulation, embodiment, empowerment, attunement, behavior change, and post-traumatic growth. The therapeutic relationship itself — being in close and conscious relationship with another—is healing, creating space for experiencing secure attachment and exploring new ways of interacting and being.

*LPCC stands for Licensed Professional Counseling Candidate. That means I’m a pre-licensed therapist.

Rates

A 50-minute counseling or coaching session with TE Wellness is $125. I don’t take insurance at this time, but I can create a super bill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. (If you are a Medicaid client, I can only offer coaching.) I also offer sliding scale rates based on need.

If you’re interested in a counseling or coaching intensive, I would love to talk about how we can customize an experience for you.

I would be honored to help you find what makes you feel grounded and connected to yourself and others. Seeking a counselor or coach is a self-compassionate and courageous choice, and I’m here to support you along your journey.

I encourage you to email with any questions or to schedule a free 20-minute consultation.
