Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do you accept insurance?

While I do not accept insurance, I am able to provide a “super-bill” upon request for potential reimbursement.

Why don’t you accept insurance?

Insurance requires a diagnosis and while we can discuss that, I believe strongly that you are more than a label. Clients have found freedom in exploring every part of their life.

Do you offer coaching?

I believe what we’re all interested in is making improvements in our lives and learning to live more openly and with less suffering. Since I do not accept insurance, I don’t draw much distinction between therapy and coaching. The focus is and always will be on helping you move forward on your goals.

David is a great therapist. He is very professsional, understanding and intelligent. He has a good sense of humor, which I think helps a lot. His style also consists of a gentle but directive approach, where he will be able to call things to your attention that can be addressed better in the moment. Highly recommended.

-Client

David was so helpful, he gave me assignments that really helped me realize my value and self worth. He helped me think outside of the box. I would highly recommend David!

-Client

David has been very empathetic. He is no nonsense, good communicator and perceptive. A great sounding board and source of thought provoking, and behavior aiding nuggets.

Organizational Values

Extracted from FAIR: Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism

  • We defend civil liberties and rights guaranteed to each individual, including freedom of speech and expression, equal protection under the law, and the right to personal privacy. 
  • We advocate for individuals who are threatened or persecuted for speech, or who are held to a different set of rules for language or conduct based on their skin color, ancestry, or other immutable characteristics. 
  • We support respectful disagreement. We believe bad ideas are best confronted with good ideas – and never with dehumanization, deplatforming or blacklisting. 
  • We believe that objective truth exists, that it is discoverable, and that scientific research must be untainted by any political agenda. 
  • We promote the compassionate anti-racism of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., rooted in dignity and our common humanity.
