Reviewed August 2023

David is an excellent therapist. I'm new to therapy and I was initially assigned a therapist that I did not click with. I joined David's mens group therapy session and I enjoyed his energy so I put in a request to have him as my personal therapist. I'm glad I did. I feel that David really listens to me, he remembers what we talked about. He is attentive, Introspective and relatable. Very comfortable to talk to and genuine in his approach. He understands and respects the spiritual components to life. Highly recommended

More about David

  • 6 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I am in my 6th year as a Licensed Professional Counselor, this is who I am, not what I do. Doing what I love is effortless and natural to me so our time together may also feel natural and easy. Most of my professional experience has centered around fear-based struggles: stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, transitions, relationships, past experiences... I use these terms that are common however they feel like boxes; my finding is that everyone comes into these spaces differently, experiences them differently and moves out of them differently.

Counseling is an art form; I am here to assist you with identifying and then creating the picture you want for your life. The canvas for this is a Person-Centered approach. The originator of this philosophy, Carl Rogers, said this is often all that is needed to facilitate change. I have a variety of other tools for us that may prove useful; DBT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Breathwork, Yoga, Transactional Analysis, Hypnotherapy, Existential Therapy, Trauma Therapy and REBT are the most common. They are all amazing in their own way.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

David was able to help me resolve negative self-worth issues that have been plaguing me for over 35 years. Working with David I've also been able to improve my relationship with my daughters and my wife. I am deeply grateful for David's guidance and support. I felt seen and heard. I highly recommend working with David.

Reviewed September 2022

I enjoyed working with David, he had a way of being able to see through the mess and muddle that exists in our mind and making things seem more simple, straightforward and resolvable. I am a counsellor myself, so I know he's pretty good!

Reviewed July 2021

David has been very gentle with me. He understands the pain and I feel I can confide in him. My only problem is hes in America and Im in England so our time zones are a bit different. Regardless, that hasnt stopped him from providing me with routes to help me.
