I am a fellow couples therapist and group therapist. I reached out to David for a consultation on group marketing. He was kind, compassionate, patient, and knowledgable. As a mental health provider and relationship counselor, we value these qualities in colleagues and consultants. I would not hesitate to choose David as my own couples therapist in a different context.
I have been a colleague of David's for years now and am continually impressed with his knowledge and clinical skill. Seeking sex therapy, couples counseling, or premarital counseling is a courageous step, and with David you will be in incredibly warm and thoughtful hands. I'm always delighted to refer people to David.
I am a colleague of David's and highly recommend his services for those looking for couple's therapy or sex therapy in the Oakland area. He has a strong clinical approach to treating couples or supporting premarital relationship needs.
