My name is David, and I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified case manager with 16 years of experience in the medical and mental health field. I hold a Master's Degree in Social Work from Stony Brook University, specializing in healthcare, and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the University at Albany, where I graduated with high honors from the School of Social Welfare. Throughout my career, I have devoted myself to helping clients overcome life's struggles in the healthcare and mental health industry. I am licensed in NY, NJ and FL.
I offer evidence-based, person-centered therapy using CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirming care and support for healthcare professionals. My approach is collaborative, strength-based, and rooted in compassion and empowerment.
Therapy is a transformative journey toward authentic living. I specialize in helping clients overcome depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Together, we’ll explore evidence-based strategies tailored to you, empowering you to build resilience, improve emotional well-being, and regain control of your life with confidence and clarity.
