Getting to know David Geltzer

I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) specializing in family conflict, parent-child relationships, anxiety, and relationship concerns. I believe lasting change comes from understanding the patterns that keep problems going and strengthening the relationships that matter most. My approach is collaborative, practical, and compassionate, helping clients develop insight while building concrete skills they can use in everyday life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I strive to create an atmosphere where you feel respected, understood, and comfortable speaking openly. I listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you to understand not only what is happening, but why it is happening. Rather than simply talking about problems, we'll work together to identify practical solutions and build on your existing strengths, so you leave each session with greater clarity and a plan for moving forward.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first session focuses on getting to know you, understanding your concerns, learning about your history, and identifying the goals that brought you to therapy. From there, we typically meet weekly as we work together to understand patterns, develop practical strategies, and monitor your progress toward your goals. As therapy progresses, we regularly review what's working, adjust our approach when needed, and tailor treatment to meet your changing needs.
