More about David

  • 30 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW



Hello, I'm David.

As a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience, I've dedicated my career to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. My compassionate and holistic approach focuses on strengths and identifying growth opportunities. Let's work together to build resilience and find healing."

David takes the client’s dignity, their values and their lives with high esteem. I believe that we need to identify and respect all the differences that humanity must offer.

I spent much of my profession working with children and families as well as individuals who self-referred. My specialties in treatment focused on the beginning stages of development, whether observed through the child, or reported by the adult. The architects I grew throughout I am well read and use the material from Jeffrey Young, Erick Erickson, John Brown, Margaret Mahler, Donald Winnicott, Kohler, and many others.

Often, I keep the body of Theoretical information as a backdrop in my head and find the details may be TMI…too much information at the time with the client.

I diligently make every effort to engage with those I treat and have a standard of undivided attention during sessions. I make every effort to learn about the person, with the understanding that my recommendations and therapy will only be effective when they own it and use the strategies within their own language.

My belief is that “There is no such thing as a bad kid.” They may make bad choices and use poor judgment at times. Additionally, “There is no such thing as a bad parent.” (Caveat: my understanding of “bad” has become more vivid and present) I don’t treat those who have no regard to others or themselves. This condition has been popularized more in the recent past. Telehealth does not offer the necessary platform for that population.

I am the sole owner for Rejoyce all People since November 2006. My private practice supplemented my formal employment through to March 2021. In March I have been contracted with BetterHelp. Rejoyce all People is currently on hold based on my sole involvement with BetterHelp.

I welcome all those who read about me. Come onboard and experience the first session. I believe in “No Thank You Bites.” If we don’t match, I want you to meet with another of the multiple BetterHelp therapists. I believe that my past experiences offer you with an opportunity of a lifetime.

Treating anxiety and depression and their counterparts. Specialty in PTSD and past life's significant struggles, relational problems, personality disorders, couples and family therapy, life's transitions, caregivers for those requiring additional supervision, so many other situations and circumstances.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling.

The fact that I was able to choose David , is what makes this amazing. He is who I wanted to speak to. When it comes to family issues, speaking to people who have major variations in culture and upbringing. It's different, knowing David is from around the same area my family is from, and follows the same spiritual/ religious morals and beliefs. Allows me to feel like I am connecting with someone who is not only educationally capable, also they can relate to the image I am creating while attempting to describe the true depth of what causes my mental health . Having David by my side once a week, has... I .... To say something, and he just knows, because he has history in my city and surrounding City s. To know that I really feel when I say I live in flames. Because he has seen those flames and he can relate. I have made progress with my ability to withstand certain stressors. He has done a great job of hearing me, and making sure he is fully understanding my situation. He often responds with education, either about mental health, or the biblical stories and references from the Bible that directly relate to whichever topic we are discussing . I would recommend David to anyone who he feels he is capable of helping.

David is extremely intuitive and reads emotions and read people very well. He is gentle yet firm. Offers very in-depth insight and isn’t afraid to voice his perspectives. He checks in on us every now and then between sessions which is something last therapists didn’t do. He understands without us evening saying much which is impressive. Would love to stay with him.

This therapist has taken a very dark chapter in my life and is helping me glean valuable lessons that I haven't had the power to just simply think my way into. Betterhelp's journal centric platform helps me piece together entire parts of conversations outside of the direct CBT time and it's helping me get through a very sensitive portion of my complex life.

He is very experienced and has a wide variety of skills. David is a great listener and he asks the right questions to get you thinking.

Thank you David for your Kindness and Respect which when going through cold times feels like a fireplace of warmth and light. It has been good working with your expertise, skills and mind set.
