My name is David Serbin. I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC #15666). Through therapy, I work with clients to help them see the positive storylines in their lives. I help make counseling fun for clients through narrative building, developing strategies for challenging negative self-talk, self-exploration of strengths, and games, among other ways. I believe that each client has the main ingredient for success in therapy: hope.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll start with introductions, then dive into the challenges you're facing and hopes for our work together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with individuals and couples over the past 5 years, I've been able to offer compassion to people who have been in environments where they could not be open about their mental health or only experienced tough love.

My treatment methods
Narrative
I have learned from working with various populations that shame is a burden which persons carry with them throughout life. By engaging in double listening, I collaborate with my clients to find the preferred story of a their lives. What is discovered when finding that a person leads a multi-storied life is that they have the tools to face their problem story head on.
Existential
I use Existential Therapy with clients who struggle with issues of meaning and purpose in their lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with clients to help with reframing negative thinking.
Motivational Interviewing
I utilize Motivational Interviewing with clients to meet them where they are at in terms of their behavior.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I utilize Solution-Focused Brief Therapy by emphasizing client's strengths and resources.
