Hello and Welcome! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I have received my Masters and Doctorate from California School of Professional Psychology. I help adults and children struggling with mental health concerns and addictions to improve various aspects of their life, such as interpersonal relationships, and employment. I offer a safe, non-judgemental environment where a person can be themself.
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a specific plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked with adults and children with Severe and Persistent Mental Disorders the last 6 years, I have been able to help clients identify and understand the root causes of their challenges and create a collaborative plan with results we can track and measure.
David Bautista offers therapy covered by Central California Alliance for Health (Medi-Cal), Gold Coast Health Plan (Medi-Cal), L.A. Care Health Plan (Medi-Cal), Orange County Mental Health Plan (Medi-Cal), Partnership HealthPlan of California (Medi-Cal) and San Francisco Health Plan (Medi-Cal) in California.
CBT can help people recognize unhelpful ways of thinking and change them. Over the last ten years, I have used this evidence-based approach to help clients overcome things like limiting beliefs, which allows for positive change and healing.
