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.
