More about David
- 22 years' experience
- Male
- LMHC
I am passionate about helping men from various walks of life, level up and grow, adjust to changes whether it is loss of relationship or job or entering into a new personal or professional situation. I also enjoy doing marital and premarital couples counseling, helping couples learn how to communicate more effectively and be kinder to each other. I also strive to help my clients in making meaning from adversity, feeling better about themselves and being better in relationships. Those who grow more quickly also enjoy learning and are open to honest but caring feedback.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Experienced and knowledgeable with good tools to help you.
He’s given me some good suggestions so far on what i should start on in building self confidence
Mr. Poles has been excellent. I was a doubter of therapy to begin with. But i have found real value in my discussions with him. The resources (reading and podcasts) have been "on the money." I genuinely feel like they were written for me.
