David Finitsis

I am a licensed psychologist with experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, grief, life changes, and the emotional challenges that can accompany medical conditions.

I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Connecticut and completed my clinical internship at Yale School of Medicine. From 2016 to 2022, I worked in a hospital-based setting, where I supported patients coping with a wide range of medical and psychological concerns. I have been in private practice since then.

I believe therapy works best when it provides both a supportive space to better understand what you're going through and practical tools to help you make meaningful changes. For that reason, my approach is collaborative and tailored to the individual. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, adjusting to changes in your life or health, coping with loss, or simply feeling stuck, I work with clients to better understand the patterns affecting their lives and develop new ways of moving forward.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about what's been going on in your life, the challenges you're facing, and what you hope might be different. I'll also ask questions about your background and experiences so I can better understand the bigger picture.

You don't need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. My goal is to create a comfortable, collaborative space where we can begin identifying what may be keeping you stuck and start thinking about how therapy can help. By the end of our first session, we'll have a better sense of whether we're a good fit and how we might work together moving forward
