David Goguen
Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (License # IMH16132) -
I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, PTSD, and chronic stress-induced or mind-body pain. Having faced chronic pain myself, and having significantly reduced it, I bring a deep level of personal understanding to the recovery process. I am an eclectic therapist and treat pain holistically, integrating psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and mindfulness based therapies to tailor treatment to each client’s needs.My approach emphasizes self-acceptance, self-compassion, and the deep self-awareness needed to empower you to make positive, meaningful changes. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that is based on curiosity, deep empathy, and radical acceptance of what is and what can be changed.When we decide to do the work of counseling, we make a decision. We empower ourselves and we take responsibility for our lives and actions. If you are committed and motivated to change, I am ready to join you on your journey towards physical and emotional healing and wellness.
