Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is David Tucker and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Drama Therapist. I have clinical experience working with individuals struggling with various mental health ailments from depression and anxiety to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. I have experience counseling children, adolescents, families, adults, and children at in-patient behavioral hospitals, adolescents in high schools and middle schools as well as adults and children in a clinical setting.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I take a strengths-based integrative approach, treating therapy as a way to assist the individual to gain the skills in order to move past their obstacles. I am also a Registered Drama Therapist. Drama Therapy is a creative arts therapy that allows the person to explore their experiences using drama, art, music, and movement as a way to solve problems, express themselves, and more. The power of creativity can be an incredible tool and no previous art, music, or acting experience is necessary.

What you can expect from our first session

I will create a safe and comfortable space for you to best achieve your goals. You already have the tool kit ready and most likely have some tools already there, therapy is a way to help sharpen the tools you already have and help fill your tool kit with all you need to face the trials and tribulations throughout life's journey. I am here for you and you are the expert in your own life. I am honored to join you on a part of your journey.
