I worked with Dave for about 5 months and throughout that time, I felt immense support from him. Prior to working with him, I had struggled to find a therapist that was the right fit for me. And so, when we started working together, I was pleasantly surprised to have found the right fit.
Dave is a fantastic therapist. He actively listens to you and is able to dissect and synthesize the information thrown at him. The two main things that I loved about working with Dave is that he recognizes his postionality and actively acknowledges it in every conversation and he asks great questions that challenge you and make you think in the moment and well beyond your therapy session. Additionally, I left every session feeling heard and supported which brought a huge sense of relief.
Overall, I honestly could not have asked for a better person to be my therapist. Thank you Dave for getting me through a really tough time. I am incredibly grateful for all your help and support over the last 5 months.

Written on Feb 01, 2022 after therapy with David for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes
This was my very first attempt in my life to seek help to address my mental health. I was doubtful and unsure of the process and the outcome. On the very first call with David, I expressed my concerns about this process to David and he was honest about what I should expect. I instantly knew David was the person who could help me. Over the past few months, David has helped me to focus on the positives, make me understand my own rollercoasters, take necessary remedial actions, be confident and be proud of who I am. With David's help, I was able to understand myself better and in a positive way.

I’ve been to therapy in the past, but never felt like I connected to any of the therapists. Especially being over chat, I was weary that it may happen again, but I instantly clicked with dave. He gave me worksheets and said things to me that were so on point, even when I didn’t have the right words to explain my situation or thoughts. Within less than two months, I’ve grown mentally more than I have in my almost 23 years of life. And I truly give that credit to david.
