David Walker, CMHC

David Walker is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor that has a decade of experience in providing mental health counseling and psychotherapy. He uses a client-centered empathic approach while working with clients to alleviate the root causes of emotional discomfort or distress. The hope is to promote a collaborative resolution and empower personal growth. Healing and healthy functioning means confronting unhealthy behaviors, rediscovering ones self-worth, learning to regulate emotions, being honest and accountable, and living a life of purpose. David takes a non-judgmental, compassionate approach towards those that he works with. He has experience working with a broad range of clientele and diagnoses including: Trauma, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Survivors of Physical/Sexual/Psychological Abuse, Substance Abuse, Relationship Issues, and Grief/Loss. David typically utilizes many modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but has also been trained and certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). This is a form of psychotherapy that works directly in reprograming the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong emotional and physical reactions…Keep the memory and lose the pain! Unlike traditional talk therapy, ART does not require in-depth details of the traumatic event to resolve it. Self-care is valued and promoted to clients as he enjoys working with his hands in a variety of contexts including: working on vintage vehicles, tinkering in his at-home shop, building, repairing, and completing satisfying projects. He loves providing for and actively spending time with his wife and children.
