David Rubin

Seeking support is a courageous step. As an LMFT, I am dedicated to guiding individuals through challenging experiences including: trauma, grief/loss, academic stress, bullying, and supporting neurodivergent individuals (ADHD & Autism Spectrum Disorder).

I have worked as a mental health therapist at schools for students with emotional disturbance, grief issues & trauma from kindergarten-12th grade. My therapeutic orientation includes Psychodynamic, Solution-Focussed & Trauma-Focused CBT.

My approach, incorporating Psychodynamic Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, helps develop coping skills and foster resilience from within. Together, it is possible to address the root causes of difficulties and move towards lasting well-being. I take a respectful, sensitive approach to therapy & acknowledge the client and their circumstances as unique and firstly assist the client in the development of coping skills. As therapy progresses more of the client's past will be explored to help the client work through previously unprocessed issues. I look forward to our working together.

For the first session I will be collecting historical and current background information on the cleint to help provide us with a good starting oint for therapy. THis will also reveal some of the presenting issues we will be addressing.

I like to give client's an opportunity to ask me any questions about my practices, procedures or my professional therapeutic background/orientation that they may have.
