Great to meet you!

I am Dr. David Boyer, LPC, NCC, a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor with more than 30 years of combined experience in behavioral health, military service, law enforcement, and crisis intervention. My professional background has given me a unique understanding of trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges faced by veterans, first responders, healthcare professionals, and individuals navigating difficult life experiences. I earned degrees in Psychology, Criminal Justice, Clinical Counseling, and Counseling, and I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that helps clients build resilience, improve emotional well-being, and achieve meaningful personal growth.

My approach to therapy

I believe that effective therapy begins with a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and collaboration. Every client is unique, so I tailor treatment to each individual's goals, strengths, and experiences. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centered Therapy. My goal is to help clients understand the patterns contributing to their struggles while developing practical skills that promote lasting change and improved emotional health.

What you can expect from me

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a comfortable, supportive therapeutic relationship. We will discuss what has brought you to counseling, your personal history, your current concerns, and the goals you hope to achieve. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you can openly share your experiences at your own pace. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that reflects your individual needs and provides a clear path toward healing, growth, and lasting positive change.
