“I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.” ~ Mark Twain
David Blake, LCMHCA, NCC, MBA
Do you ever feel like you’re stuck in your own head overthinking, shutting down, or reacting in ways you don’t fully understand? Maybe you struggle to communicate effectively, manage stress, or quiet the constant swirl of negative thoughts. If you’re feeling mentally or emotionally exhausted and unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone and you don’t have to stay stuck.
I bring a grounded, compassionate perspective to my work. I understand the real-life challenges of balancing relationships, responsibilities, and personal growth. I work with individuals ages 14 and up to manage a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, parenting concerns, communication difficulties, life transitions, and reconnecting with self or loved ones. My focus is on helping clients shift negative thought patterns, develop practical coping skills, and build healthier ways of connecting with themselves and others.
I use a collaborative, client-centered approach, working alongside you to clarify your goals and develop strategies tailored to your unique strengths and needs. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), offering practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication. I also integrate mindfulness, perspective-shifting, and coaching techniques to foster self-understanding, personal growth, and lasting change, with faith integration available when requested.
In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space to explore your inner world, reflect on patterns, and practice strategies that work in real life. Whether you’re navigating ADHD, managing intense emotions, coping with grief or life transitions, or exploring your career and personal goals, I am here to help you discover your strengths, increase resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. My role is to walk alongside you as a supportive partner, helping you develop a steadier, more grounded sense of self that you can carry beyond therapy.
