Choosing Joy provides focused, powerful help for depression, anxiety, trauma, addictions, and troubled relationships. Our preferred approach is straightforward, supportive, and collaborative. We strive to honor you, to work collaboratively with you, and to provide needed guidance throughout the therapy process. Following are some principles which guide our work:
To help you succeed in achieving your personal goals, we focus initially on a thorough and accurate assessment. With your input and consent we then formulate a comprehensive treatment strategy. For Dave, specific treatment interventions are often drawn from Schema Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), guided imagery, mindfulness-based strategies, EMDR, and your personal values. With couples and other relationships, he also utilizes Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the principles of the Arbinger Institute.
Choosing Joy always strives to employ the most natural and cost-effective clinical interventions possible, though we support the use of medications when necessary.
Regardless of the methods used, our ultimate objective is to help you truly revive and heal your spirit and your relationships. Such healing is not achieved without hard work on your part. But, as many individuals can attest, it is well worth it, as your efforts will be rewarded throughout your life!
Dave currently offers individual, couple, and family therapies, all available in 60 or 90 minute sessions.
