Getting to know David Borof
My name is David Borof, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with the State of California. Providing therapy and serving others is my passion. I consider therapy my art, while staying current with the latest research and evidence-based practices. I look forward to working with you!
I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University, graduating with honors and a specialization in addiction studies.
My approach
Research shows that the most effective therapy relies on a strong therapeutic alliance and good rapport. My main focus is to establish a safe space where clients can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with empathy and support for their self-determination. I work to build secure attachment using a variety of techniques and theories, including psychodynamic theory, object relations theory, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral theory, dialectical behavioral theory, and mindfulness-based practices. Employing an eclectic approach, I minimize power differentials and collaborate closely with my clients.
My focus
I work with adults, couples, and families of all ages and identities. I treat depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder, and I specialize in treating addictions, including substance use and sex addiction.
My communication style
As a humanistic therapist, I emphasize respect, dignity, and client self-determination. I want clients to feel seen, heard, and respected by providing a safe space to explore anything and everything. I enjoy collaborating with clients in a therapeutic alliance to establish goals and work together toward achieving them.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to becoming a therapist began as a client. I remember thinking that if I could help people the way my therapist helped me, I would have a good life. From there, I pursued therapy as a career, earning my degree and specialization to support others on their healing journeys.
