David Salmon

Life brings its share of hard chapters, and having a steady, experienced presence can make all the difference. I'm David, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over 30 years of post-graduate experience helping individuals and couples move through anxiety, depression, grief, illness, and major life transitions. I've served as Executive Director of a nonprofit counseling agency and worked with clients in hospital, residential, outpatient, and group settings, across every age and background, including people of varied sexual orientations, ethnicities, and races. Whatever brought you here, I'd be glad to work with you.

My counseling style is cognitive-behavioral. I help clients focus on the role thoughts play in driving emotions and behavior.I believe the mind is our greatest tool, but too often our chief critic or saboteur. I have helped many navigate the waters around addiction, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, grief, anger, unforgiveness and other "stuck thinking." I have helped patients come to terms with terminal illness, loneliness, caregiver stress, divorce and life purpose.

I start with a lot of listening, so our work together is built on what actually matters to you. My clients describe me as a calm, grounding presence, even when things feel overwhelming. In our first sessions we'll talk through what's bringing you in and begin shaping a customized treatment plan around your goals. Many clients notice a shift within the first few weeks, from feeling stuck to having real tools for anxiety, grief, anger, or the thoughts that keep circling. I look forward to working with you.
