Hi, I’m David Sudyka, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #1790385250). I’m passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families find healing, balance, and a deeper sense of connection in their lives. My goal is to create a welcoming and supportive space where you can feel comfortable exploring your experiences and working toward meaningful change. I take a compassionate and collaborative approach, meeting you where you are and helping you build on your strengths. I often draw from evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and EMDR to support healing from trauma, manage anxiety, and foster personal growth and emotional well-being. Together, we’ll work toward creating the life and relationships you want.

I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive therapy for kids, teens and adults. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and trauma-related conditions. For individuals concerned about ADHD, I offer comprehensive evaluations that may include FDA-cleared computerized testing, clinical interviews, and standardized rating scales to help support an accurate diagnosis and guide treatment decisions. My goal is to provide clear answers, personalized care, and practical strategies that help you function at your best.

You’re doing everything “right”—staying active, showing up for others, pushing through—but you’re still stuck in your head. You overthink everything. You’re constantly anxious, tense, and on edge. Maybe you feel like you’re always performing—for your team, your job, your family—and you’re tired of carrying it all.

I specialize in working with athletes and active adults who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, and people-pleasing. Together, we create a space where you can finally breathe, feel grounded, and build emotional strength to match your physical drive.

My approach combines CBT, mindfulness, somatic therapy, and solution-focused strategies through my signature T.H.R.I.V.E. Method. We’ll work together to untangle old patterns, reconnect with your body, and build clarity and confidence from the inside out.

If you’re ready to feel more present, powerful, and mentally strong, I’d be honored to support you.

I love mental health. I love listening to people and diving into the challenges my clients face on a daily basis.
