David Shields

For over 20 years I have worked with clients in a variety of settings. I have helped clients work through grief, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, men’s issues, family conflicts and difficult child custody proceedings. I have provided therapy for clients facing the daily challenges of living with a variety of mental disorders. I also provide a safe environment for clients in the LGBTQ+ community to deal with a variety of life challenges complicated by systemic and societal prejudices.

Together, we will explore the specific challenges you are facing which impede your ability to live life to its fullest. I incorporate a variety of therapeutic interventions. Based upon your individual goals and life experiences, the focus of our work may be solution-based, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic or interpersonal. Often, a combination of multiple therapeutic approaches is effective.

Our lives are full of obstacles that can prevent us from living life to its fullest. Some obstacles we seem to bring upon ourselves, while others are thrust upon us. Overcoming these obstacles can be difficult and sometimes painful. I offer a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic setting. Together, we explore the specific challenges you are facing which impede your ability to live life to its fullest.
