Hello, my name is David and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with licenses in Pennsylvania and Texas. I have worked in the field for about 10 years, and typically see a handful of clients in a small private practice. I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, working with my hands, and other hobbies. I believe strongly in the promise of mental health counseling, but understand that traditional therapy doesn't always feel like a good fit for everyone. Therefore I try to be open minded and creative in my approach to counseling, and incorporate a variety of theories and interventions.
For our first session, we will focus on getting to know one another and coming to an understanding on how counseling might benefit you. I'd like to hear you talk about what your current needs are, and I can tell you about my approach to counseling and what to expect as we move forward.
I try to stay grounded, honest, and focused on my client's needs. My approach is adaptive, resilience-focused, and aims for real change through practical skills and authentic client relationships.
I've worked with ACT the last few years and use aspects of it for many clients.
Though it has its challenges in online settings, I've enjoyed working with couples for many years.
I appreciate conversations related to meaning and fulfillment, and incorporate them when appropriate.
I think it is important to recognize each client's strengths and how those strengths support healing and growth.
