Getting to know Dr. David Shepard
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Bachelor's degree from San Diego State University, a Master's in Psychology, and a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University. I am also a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. My therapeutic approach is integrative, multicultural-focused, collaborative, and strength-based. I like to meet people where they are, utilizing evidence-based practices and tailoring therapy to each individual with respect for their cultural backgrounds and the intersecting identities they bring into the therapeutic relationship. My goal is to help people make changes that allow them to live and function at their highest potential.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
