Hi - my name is David Juncos, and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in PA & NJ. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from La Salle University in 2014. I've been in the mental health field for 22 years and have worked as a psychotherapist for 19 years. I can help adults and teenagers who experience symptoms from a wide variety of clinical disorders (Anxiety, Substance Use Disorders, AD/HD and Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, and others) and common non-clinical problems (perfectionism, self-criticism and shame, problematic anger, marital or relationship distress).
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session or two, I'll conduct a thorough interview to get to know you & your areas of need, while also prioritizing your comfort and building a good rapport. I will use that information, along with the results of your intake questionnaires, to form a clinical impression of you & your treatment needs. Then, we'll collaborate to create a treatment plan that effectively addresses your needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I find clients prefer a psychotherapist who can strike a balance between offering the skills of a good counselor with those of a treatment provider who is trained to administer evidence-based interventions. I aim to provide them with such a balanced approach, unless they explicitly state a preference for one style of therapy over the other.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am a generalist with over 10 years' experience in private practice. I am comfortable working with adults and teens ages 16+ from diverse cultural backgrounds who are looking for a therapist that will both support and challenge them. I am an ally to the LGBTQ+ community.
