Getting to know David Draper

My name is David Draper, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in California. I have been counseling for almost 30 years and have a deep level of experience working with clients facing a variety of issues. I have been in private practice for many years while also directing a counseling center at a university. I am a Professor of Psychology and enjoy training students to become Forensic Psychologists. In addition to forensic populations, my specialties include LGBTQ+ affirmative counseling, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, college-aged developmental issues, and many other areas. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Ryokan College and hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles. If you feel overwhelmed, not yourself, overly worried or confused, depressed, or anxious, it's necessary to be supported in a non-judgmental atmosphere that allows you to break through resistance and work through the issues to come to a better place. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but it's the right choice!

What should a new client know about working with you?

My hope is that my clients feel deeply heard and honored. By focusing on the relationship in the therapeutic environment, you can expect to be validated and fully experienced by a supportive, experienced professional thereby breaking through barriers and maximizing your 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.
