David Sepulveda

I've been practicing as a therapist for 13 years and have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 7. I work with adults, especially men, gay and queer folks, and anyone who connects with my approach. I'm gay and Latino, and I bring my full self to this work. I'm LGBTQ+, kink, sex worker, and nonmonogamy affirming, which means you don't have to filter what you share or worry about being judged for how you live. My style is direct and warm, with genuine humor when it fits. I'm not a blank screen. I'm actually engaged in what you're going through.

Therapy should actually fit your life, not the other way around. My approach is integrative and rooted in family systems. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation, Interpersonal Therapy, Problem Solving Therapy, mindfulness, attachment focused work, and the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), depending on your needs. These are tools, not scripts. We'll pay attention to what's happening now, identify patterns that keep showing up, and explore how your past may shape your present without making it the whole story.

Come as you are. You don't need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. We'll start with what brought you in, what's been happening, what you've tried, and what you actually want to be different. I'll ask questions and listen carefully, and by the end of the session you'll have a real sense of whether I'm the right fit for you. That's the whole goal of session one: not a deep dive, just an honest conversation. From there, we figure out what makes sense together.
