Hello, my name is David. I have worked in the mental healthcare field for over 20 years. I have worked with young adults, veterans, individuals diagnosed with severe psychiatric disorders, older adults, and adults struggling with substance abuse disorders, including those suffering from homelessness. My top modalities include Eclectic and Psychodynamic approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness/Meditation. Through a secure-video format, I offer traditional, high-quality therapy to treat a variety of stressful and challenging conditions.
When communicating with you I am calm, non-judgmental, and accepting of whatever you might be going through. I focus on listening to you, knowing it is not about me, and that you are the one in the therapy session that matters. I gently push in areas you allow me to push, and ultimately help you decide for yourself how and where you want to go.
If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out today.
Take the first step to help. Call or David Ellner now - (747) 281-2874
