Dr. David Ransen
Dr. David Ransen
Trained as a psychologist (Ph.D. from Cornell University). Some 20 years later I earned a second graduate degree in Marriage & Family Therapy. I am a fully licensed therapist in the State of Florida. I have taught psychology at Princeton, Tulane, Cornell, and Harvard Medical School. We will spend most of our time creating solutions, instead of analyzing problems. So often, therapy gets bogged down in the endless exploration of problems. Problems are the results of behaviors that didn't work for you in the past. Solutions flow from changes that will work for you starting right now. Solutions make your life better. They bring joy and peace to your life.

No divorce or separation counseling. I treat individuals for a wide array of problems, including anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, irrational fears, and more.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I help couples to better communicate and resolve conflict. I help individuals aged 18 and older with a wide array of challenges, including all forms of anxiety.
