It’s my first time talking with anyone and was intimidated with therapy in general. David made me feel at ease and helped me understand the importance of therapy through our sessions. I highly recommend David, he really listens to the individual and can tell that his approach to resolution is tailored to me specifically. 11/10 was needed and David helped make the process easy. I’ve gotten profound insight to my situation with the help from David.

David has been for me a thoughtful professional, one who has experience in navigating mental health crisis. He was very smart to focus on the substance abuse issues in my life, and I have observed all his suggestions. Still feeling sad but I have a feeling it won't last. Thank you David!
