Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

David is compassionate and caring. He has helped me to navigate through life's complexities. David excels at reframing problems/issues so that they can be viewed from a fresh perspective. I would highly recommend David to anyone who is seeking a therapist.

Understsanding
I found David to be the most understanding and compassionate person yet. I have been to many counselors and none compare. He takes the time to want to get to know you in a non judgmental way. He really does care.

David was very accurate and through for a diagnosis. Made a concerted effort to understand what was wrong and picked up on things other did not. Very helpful and insightful. Great with resources.

Really disconcerting experience. I'm sure he meant well but I could barely get a word in about myself or explain myself or what I was coming in for. Was immediately herded into an ADD diagnosis which he sent to my psychiatrist while in the session without letting me explain myself at all. I found it really unnerving considering all my prior experience with professionals has been trauma-focused for good reason. Not once was I able to explain that, nor that I used certain words to describe my situation because I had prior professional interactions that supported that use. Maybe I'm just used to my previous, very positive and close therapist relationship but this was a real discouraging experience.

Did already scheduling is bad! He can come earlier or at the very least make an effort for me, 1PM eats up my whole day.

Very compassionate and caring. He is always looking out for his patients. Will take what ever time is needed l, regardless if it is your appointment time or not. He is one of a kind, and a genuine person.

worst therapist ever ih is is indeed one.he eats continuously, answers his cell phone and has conversations while you sit there during sessions. he is an angry person and complains about others, does not respond to ones' issues, seems he barely listens and doesn't give feedback or guidance, does not follow up on any issues, barely allows you to speak. is very involved in talking about his own life and speaks far too highly of himself which is probably how his insecurity manifests itself.

Horrible experience. This counselor started the session off by asking question while working on his computer and printing documents. His cell phone kept going off in the middle of the session. I had to leave half way thru my session. Zero help from this guy. Will never be coming back and I advise to stay away.
