David Ettinger

It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.

'm trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a 3rd wave cognitive behavioral approach, and will teach you mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills. I also specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), a leading treatments for PTSD as recognized by the World Health Organization.

The first session is about establishing rapport and learning about the client's needs.
