These are difficult times. Anxiety can have a life of its own. Providing better help through online Telehealth is a 15 year specialty in my 36 year career. So many "what ifs" are a reality in many lives. What does one do when anxiety, stress and panic hit? Change from what was normal to the "now normal" can bring reactivity and stress. I offer online therapy helping clients understand their lives and the roots of their personal anxiety & stress. I provide a safe place and skills that create “breathing room” to help people break free from the grips of their anxiety, frustration, and personal and relational stress.

Hello! My name is David DeNavarra. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 13 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, mood stabilization, relationship issues, spiritual/existential difficulties, parenting problems, behavioral issues, anger issues, career challenges, personality disorders, codependency, severe and persistent mental illnesses, life changes, addictions, and trauma histories. I have extensive experience working with individuals as well as families/youth and customize treatment and approach to meet your unique and specific needs.

Life events may impact our sense of order and peace and replace peace with confusion. Your commitment to regain a sense of order can be the beginning and you may be surprised to learn that it may not take as long as you think. I know that relationship issues, career challenges, job losses, and health challenges can upset our sense of order and balance. These are some of the focus areas of my counseling and coaching practice. I suggest you interview several candidates. Let your feelings of comfort, acceptance and competence guide your decision.

When life feels stressful or overwhelming, it’s okay to ask for help.

My background includes utilizing evidence-based approaches to assist those struggling with trauma, mood disorders, social skills deficits, and oppositional behavior & sexual behavior issues.

Are you finding it difficult to heal from a previous or current relationship with yourself or others? Are you feeling stuck or confused? Are you ready for a change? Whether it's a relationship with self, family, intimate, business, or friend; we can work together to identify the barriers that may be prohibiting your goals. Many of us find ourselves repeating the same unhealthy relationship patterns even with our best intentions. No matter the difficulty, there's much wisdom in our experiences and feelings, it's just often misunderstood or overlooked.
