About me
As a Missouri Licensed Counselor with over 25years experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for David Markowitz. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Challenged me and gave me alternatives to things I could never come up with on my own. He was like an older version of myself just much wiser and more intelligent.

David is a great, heartwarming listener who ensures you get what you need from therapy by setting goals and being there for you on the way to achieving them. It was a pleasure working with him on my relationship with myself, food, my thoughts, and while going through my breakup. He's supported my transformation into a more mature and better person free of old patterns that were weighing me down. Endlessly grateful.

The therapy sessions with David are always the best part of my day. He makes me feel heard and understood. His warm and humorous communication style helps dissolve negative moods. I especially appreciate David's down-to-earth-approach - a great antidote for spiraling.
