David evaluates and treats patients 16 years and above. David provides evaluation and treatment for Insomnia, Addiction/Substance Dependence, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Trauma, and OCD. 

 

David also evaluates and treats mental health symptoms associated with Hormone Dysregulation, Autoimmune Dysfunction, Gastrointestinal Imbalance and Nutritional Deficiencies or Imbalances.

 

Medication: As part of treatment, David does prescribe and manage medication for all of the above issues, where appropriate. 

For many issues, David does tend to use medication in a “supportive” role instead of as a the primary solution.   However, David does believe that, for certain challenges, medication can be of great benefit.

Decisions about medication are always made in a collaborative discussion, centered around client's preferences and needs.

 

Psychotherapy: David strongly feels that therapy is often an important part of healing & of personal growth. He encourages clients seeking medication management, in particular, to also work with therapists, when appropriate. His own therapeutic orientation is eclectic, but most frequently aspects of psychotherapy to build meaning, purpose and drive (Motivational Interviewing, Logotherapy), tools to work with bodily and emotional states (Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Mindfullness Based Stress Reduction), and additional tools around enhancing relationship skills & satisfaction.

​

Wrap Around Care:  For clients in need of a higher level of service, we offer wrap around care via phone, at home, or on location at a residential program.   We also offer crisis support for clients in this program.
