David Yasemsky

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I have a full scale private practice where I work with marriages, couples, adults and adolescents. I have a both a family systems understanding with people, as well as an appreciation that past events and experiencers shape thinking and behavior. I have a Masters Degree in Psychology from Washington State University with specialized supervision and training with couples, families, teenagers and people suffering from significant anxiety and situational depression.

My overarching belief is that people are best equipped to solve their own problems, but at times it requires professional help to guide, teach and ask the right questions that lead to a better understanding of themselves and how to proceed with a commonsense plan that addresses their overall mental health and well being.

The first session will focus on helping the client feel at ease. I will outline the parameters my role and expectations of confidentiality. I will begin to help to identify problem areas and help the client prioritize the problems at hand. I will gather psychosocial history as to better understand the problems especially in context of their past life experiences.
