Hi, I’m David Kolker, a therapist with over 15 years of experience. My approach goes beyond surface-level changes, focusing instead on uncovering the deeper issues that shape your current challenges. Together, we’ll explore how childhood and family dynamics influence your life today, addressing the lasting effects of sexual, emotional, or physical abuse. Whether you’re dealing with abandonment fears, commitment struggles, or unhealthy attachment patterns, I provide a supportive space for authentic and vulnerable conversations. Let’s work together to foster emotional wellness and lasting personal growth.
We will deal with core underlying issues and treat individuals, couples and primary mental health issues from a compassionate perspective. We will work together as we get to know each other. I offer a loving and supportive environment that is conducive to healing. Self-love, co-dependency and shame are the core issues, let's journey towards wellness.
Unique factors: 1. We don't offer strategies, but rather long-term change; 2. We help individuals and couples create their individual path; 3. We deal with trauma, abuse, abandonment and other issues; 4. Attachment based theory. We don't believe in "Change the thought change the behavior"! We believe in emotional change from the heart.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

My preferred clinical perspective is attachment theory. Attachment looks at models we have learned as children and see how we have translated these into dysfunctional adult relationships. Additionally, inner child work, mindfulness and psychodynamic approaches lead towards a goal of self-love. Very direct; however, direct in a loving manner.
