It was great. David is flexible, understanding, and knowledgeable. I like to bring a notebook and take notes and he frequently also sends me really helpful materials I can review at home to get deeper into things. The way that he can bring different ideas from different modalities also really helps me.
On top of being a good therapist, David is also really great with trans people. He is comfortable with whatever I need to talk about as a trans person, and I never have any moments where I feel misunderstood or like my transness is either ignored or else too much of a focus.

I’ve been working with David since July/August, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about him. From the very beginning, he made me feel like a client—not a colleague—which is something I deeply appreciate as someone working in the mental health field.
David is an incredible listener and has been so thoughtful about my wellbeing, especially while introducing me to EMDR. He’s gentle, compassionate, and understanding, yet also professional and very knowledgeable. I appreciate how he shares his observations and recommendations in a way that feels supportive and never overwhelming.
Working with him has been such a positive experience. He creates a safe space where I feel heard and cared for. Simply put, David is awesome!

I happened upon David after my previous therapist died. Not only was David respectful of that time I had with that therapist, he genuinely has built upon it in the year+ I’ve been seeing him.
One of the things I love about David is how real of a person he is. There’s no genuine wall or shield that keeps you from feeling his empathy.
I am eternally grateful for David. Even on days when I don’t want to get out of bed, I still get excited to sit down and speak with him. He has helped me understand myself better.
While I am not “fixed”, I feel so secure that David will continue to be there for me in times of need.
I have had a bad history with therapists throughout my life. I didn’t get what I needed out of it. David is only one of two therapists who have made me feel truly seen.

As a parent, I felt helpless when my son was struggling with his mental health. I wanted to help him, but I knew he needed a professional. After David met with my son and I, I knew there was hope. With each session, my son was noticeably changing; his attitude, his understanding of his emotions, his outlook on life. David helped my son grow his emotional intelligence. He gave my son the skill set to be able to handle his emotions rather than just react to them. David was also able to help me understand my son better so I would know how to help him when he is struggling. I cannot thank David enough. I don’t know what would’ve happened if we hadn’t found him.

David is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had. He didn’t just help me with what I’m going through, he gave me tools to handle problems I will encounter in the future. He has helped me through multiple problems like depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and my own personal traumas. I started talking to David when I was around 14 years old. I started therapy the year prior with a different therapist, but my family and I felt that I was not making progress. My experience with David has changed my life. If you ever need a therapist that can get you through your challenges he is just the one right for you! I even want to be a therapist now and I’m going to college to pursue a career in psychology. I can’t thank David enough!

How can you put a miracle into words? David has been my therapist for three years, and I’m a completely different person because of his guidance. Therapy only works if you do the work, and David creates a safe space where you can trust, listen, and grow.
I came to him with a lifetime of trauma—childhood abuse, toxic relationships, and deep insecurities. David became the healthy male role model I needed after years of harm. He helped me see that I deserve real love—not just from others but from myself. Self-love has been the hardest part of my journey, especially after growing up with a parent who gave me constant trauma and made me feel like I was never enough.
David helped me break free from toxic patterns, set boundaries, and develop healthy communication. He’s supported me through self-harm, grief, and even suicidal thoughts. My transformation has been life-changing, and my family and friends see it too. David is more than a therapist—he’s a hero. Thank you for changing my life!:)

David has a very kind, gentle demeanor. He is an excellent listener! I always feel heard and understood, leaving each session with more peace and understanding about my circumstances. My weekly meetings with David are something I always look forward to.

I've been seeing David Queally for more than a year. Before I started therapy with him, I had no hope that I would ever feel better. David is extremely compassionate and knowledgeable, and he's very good at what he does. He introduced me to new methods of therapy (IFS and EMDR) that actually work for me. Working with David has helped me heal in ways I did not think possible. I believe he saved my life.
JSVerified patient
In my heart I've known for years that therapy was going to be needed to tackle childhood trauma but I just wouldn't step up and start the process. Now married and a parent I can no longer run from my past and David Queally has helped to make this possible. In just a short period of time spent with David I've already begun to let go of pain which I've held for so long, better navigating the relationships with my wife and children and seeing the world with gentler eyes. I carry less rage and am able to better manage daily stress...in short, I wish I did this a longtime ago but timing is everything and meeting David Queally has profoundly changed my life for the better.
MMVerified patient
David is full of empathy and highly knowledgeable. He clearly cares about you and is without question invested in your health and wellbeing. In fact, David goes above and beyond in helping you get to where you need to be. He is well-versed in different psychological approaches and his therapist “tool kit” is awesome.
I’ve been in therapy before and consider myself very self-aware, but David has helped me deal with underlying issues I’ve been blind to. And in a way that is not threatening— but, in fact, empowering. Indeed, to anyone willing to do the work on themselves, he is a great partner. I unequivocally recommend David to anyone seeking a good therapist.
Bottom line: My life is better because he is in it.

During my initial appointment, everything went well. I was made to feel at ease and was able to speak honestly and freely. We discussed further steps and I look forward to my next appointment.

He was a great listener and helped guide me through what my goals should be during our sessions and my overall trauma. I definitely recommend him! And I will be coming back!

David is the only therapist I have ever had that truly loves what he does and care about his people. The best thing I could have ever done was finally make an appointment and work on myself. I wouldn’t want anyone else guiding me through my life.

I have been with David for almost a year now and the amount of personal growth i have been able to acquire with his help is unreal and worth every penny.

A great therapist that I will continue to see

David has helped me find awareness and healing in months compared to what other therapists could not help me with in over 3+decades. I feel extremely safe with David. I can be open and transparent to share my traumas at a level that I can be heard more than ever before and get the help necessary to grow rather than stay stuck. David keeps me on track so we can address what the real triggers are and has helped me within every single session regarding several ailments (depression, grief, anxiety, DV, physical & emotional pain, and PTSD, etc ) that I come in with and by the time I leave David's support has decreased the level of my debilitation tremendously. I don't just feel it but my family and friends see the difference and results as well. David has shared books, tools, strategies and theories he has a great background in several approaches and with each session makes accomodations accordingly. I try to do my homework, but it is obvious that he takes his clients metal health seriously and truly does his research to help on any level possible and has a great report with community resources as well which has been extremely helpful in my case. He is compassionate, kind hearted, informative and effective. David has a holistic approach and uses an eclectic blend to make for a safe space to heal and grow. I am extremely grateful for David and highly recommend him to anyone for therapy. My experience so far with David and the EMDR therapy he has given has been life changing and freeing. He not only respects boundaries & beliefs and is clearly non-judgmental but has also helped me find my own that I never realized could help me. I TRUST David completely with my life story and my mental illness which speaks volumes as that has been near impossible for me to do with any other therapist and it has allowed me the opportunity to get well and overcome so many battles of the mind so that I can finally have confidence, inner strength, hope and begin to enjoy my life! In a very dark time in my life when all started coming up and boiling over David entered my life with wisdom and and has been a beacon of light in my journey to heal the pain and trauma from my past 50 years and helping me to have courage , strategies and tools to face each new day moving forward one step at a time.
JMVerified patient
My visits are always on time and pleasant! I leave feeling more confident and calm than when I arrived due to the attentiveness and care I receive while I’m there even for just the hour. Always appreciated.
ABVerified patient
I've seen a few therapists but never had one who was this incredible! He's the most understanding, smartest, and most compassionate person I've ever met. Extremely trustworthy to the point where I know I can talk about anything with him and get an honest opinion which is so important in my healing journey. David makes it clear that he loves his job and he's incredibly good at it. He may not see it but he's helping change my life in such a HUGE way. My entire family has seen a difference in me. They're no longer worried about my safety thanks to David. I can finally feel as though life isn't so bad and I'm seeing more positives now. I'm putting in the work as he encourages and guides me towards the right direction to help me heal and grow. I must say he's also extremely patient. I went through SO much hurt last year and kept talking about the same thing over and over for a long time to the point where I annoyed myself but he didn't mind it at all. He even encouraged that I continue to let it out since it had bothered/traumatized me so much. I never thought I'd get better from all this but I've been seeing him for about half a year and I feel as though I've learned so much thanks to him. I look forward to speaking with him every week and even notice how I don't self sabotage myself as I had before. I can never say enough good things about him! I talk about him to absolutely everyone! Anyone and absolutely everyone deserves to see an amazing therapist like David. It's a true blessing to have someone like him!
JGVerified patient
Up until meeting this therapist I absolutely hated therapy I saw it pointless and a waste of time but I guess I just didn’t have the right therapist! I look forward to all my sessions now and have such a positive outlook on getting mental health help even in the slightest ways. David is the perfect mix of gentle and structured. He also treats my daughter as well and shes now able to take away tools she needs to to learn to better regulate herself. 10/10 IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IT JUST DO IT you won’t regret an amazing therapist like David will change your life for the better
