LMHC, 20 years of experience
Hi, my name is David Casey, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed School Social Worker/School Adjustment Counselor. I also have worked as a Licensed Guidance Counselor for the past 22 years. I have experience working with Adults with Traumatic Brain Injuries, to Adults with Developmental Disabilities. I also have 23 years' experience working with students with a wide variety of diagnoses from Autism to ADHD, to Oppositional Defiant Disorder, to bipolar disorder.
Clients can expect to feel welcome and comfortable and at ease during the first session and all sessions that follow.
My greatest strength as a provider is to be able to facilitate my sessions in a calming manner that helps to keep my clients feeling comfortable and valued, while helping them to identify the causes of their challenges while establishing a plan that leads to progress.
I love working with adolescents and teens. I pride myself on making quick and effective therapeutic rapport with adolescents which is not an easy task. I have been working in the school system for 23 years now and have experience working with students with severe emotional issues.
