Getting to know David Fornos
Hello and welcome! My name is David Fornos and I’m a professional therapist operating in Austin, Texas who is currently accepting new clients.
What’s stopping you from being who you are when alone and around others? What stops you from knowing how to take care of yourself? This is what I can explore with you in therapy. I want to help you shed what holds you back and illuminate pain that may be keeping you stagnant.
I want the world to meet who you are.
Depression, anxiety, and relationship dysfunction can stifle and hide your true self. You may feel inhibited, pressured, and isolated, but throughout it all you know there is still something amazing within you. If you’re interested in this journey of self-discovery, reach out to me today to start your first therapy session.
My primary approach to therapy is client-centered, meaning that I emphasize the creation of a nonjudgmental and nurturing space for my clients to grow to their fullest potential. However, I also implement approaches from Internal Family Systems and Rational-Emotive Behavioral Therapy in my work. With younger clients and adults who are receptive to it, I utilize play therapy and art therapy in session.
As a therapist, I see myself as responsible for supporting social justice through my work and am an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community as well as a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working out of the offices of Hill Country Parenting in Austin, TX but am also currently offering teletherapy by Zoom. If you would like to reach out and schedule a consultation session with me
What should a new client know about working with you?
Depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and relationship dysfunction can stifle and hide who you really are. You feel inhibited, pressured, and isolated - but throughout it all you know there is still something amazing within you. What's stopping you from truly being yourself both alone and around others? What stops you from knowing how to take care of yourself? This is what I can explore with you. I want to help you shed what is holding you back and illuminate pain that may be keeping you comfortably stagnant. I want the world to meet who you are.
My name is David Fornos and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. I work from a client-centered approach, meaning I emphasize the importance of the therapeutic relationship as the most important factor in creating positive change, and as such I strive to create an atmosphere of nurturance and non-judgment in my sessions. I also like to incorporate elements of Jungian psychotherapy, REBT, and Internal Family Systems into my practice. I believe in emphasizing self-love and self-compassion with my clients and that the ability to love and accept oneself in a mature way is key to positive change in therapy. I am also able to take a systemic perspective in my work, meaning that I can shift focus to treat problems occurring within a family system rather than just within an individual person when necessary.
I have four years' experience working in residential, clinical, and office settings in the treatment of mental health as well as substance abuse for individuals, couples, and families. I have extensive practice in the field of addiction and have helped people from a wide array of backgrounds and lifestyles create and manage a sustained program of recovery. I've also dedicated myself to helping children and adolescents in my career through a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, self-harm, and LGBT-related struggles, and I enjoy using play therapy and art-based interventions with younger clients.
