David Wilson
(He/Him), LPC
In life, I have faced significant challenges from an early age, including various forms of abuse and bullying. These hardships, along with dropping out of high school and briefly experiencing homelessness, fueled my passion for understanding human behavior and mental health. Determined to transform adversity into growth, I pursued higher education, earning a Master’s in Psychological Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania and a Doctorate in Learning Sciences. I also have a Master of Business Administration (MBA), which enhances my ability to work with business professionals. Today, as a licensed psychotherapist, I specialize in trauma-informed care, offering personalized therapies that empower individuals to heal, find their passion, and thrive.
As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe in the transformative power of the human spirit and mind to overcome life’s many challenges. We all face unexpected events that can knock us off track, and navigating these challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming. You can change your perspectives and improve emotional intelligence and understanding while elevating empathy for others.
I practice and specialize in several therapeutic modalities, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Additionally, I integrate elements of positive psychology and other evidence-based approaches to help clients successfully manage their anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and other mental health challenges. Having been married for over 30 years with children, I enjoy helping couples and families navigate relationship challenges and build stronger, more fulfilling connections.
In addition to my therapy work, I am a Birkman Certified Professional who is enthusiastic about coaching and helping business professionals. With a unique blend of business acumen and psychological expertise, I help business professionals enhance emotional intelligence, stress resilience, and communication skills in today’s demanding work environments.
As a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Judo, I strive to embody the principles of discipline, perseverance, and continuous learning. Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, fishing, playing the guitar, and exercising. I hope that knowing a little about my life’s journey can help demonstrate the power of determination and the belief that no matter where you start, you can achieve extraordinary things and make meaningful changes, and I am here to help.
