Getting to know David Draxton

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Family Therapist. By nature I am gentle, understanding, non-judging, while upfront and honest. I have been described by coworkers as laid-back and “a straight-shooter”. I work with adults and youth 12+, treating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. I see persons as whole beings with immense potential for growth and learning. I do not see people only in terms of diagnoses or labels. I look for the best in you, and for you to gain balanced self-respect and more compassionate self-understanding. We use the most effective and least invasive therapy for what you would like to accomplish yourself and in your relationships. A primary specialty is working with veterans with PTSD, TBI, anger control, and other concerns. I have worked with veterans and their families since before Sept 11, 2001. Traumatic experiences that have left emotional wounds are most often what create difficult symptoms. Gently processing through those traumas decreases their emotional charge and re-orients you in your life with positive beliefs about yourself. Further, we can utilize Performance Enhancement techniques to reach goals you are achieving. Treatment, based on your strengths and goals, is provided for: Acute Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress, Physical, Emotional, and Sexual abuse Anxiety, Panic, and Phobias, Depression, Mood Swings, Bipolar Disorder Anger control and Assertiveness, Grief and Loss Relaxation Skills / Stress Reduction, Personal Growth and Development – finding your own direction for your life

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am open to going as in depth as you want to on exploring yourself and your relationships. We look at what you want to achieve, along with the emotional and mental stuck points that may be in your way.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I listen closely to your concerns and to your goals each session. I have a plan of approach, yet I am open to what you need to focus on. We use the techniques that are most effective and the least disruptive for what you want to accomplish.
