David Kolker, LCSW

Psychotherapist
IN
Hello. I am David Kolker and have provided clinical services for over 15 years. I work with couples, individuals, and groups. I approach therapy from an Attachment Therapy perspective and believe that co-dependency and shame are our two greatest challenges. A large part of our time together will be identifying unhealthy attachment styles formed during childhood and exploring how these models have impacted our ability or inability to maintain healthy adult relationships. I am atypical from most other therapists in that I believe building rapport is critical. I value self-disclosure, vulnerability, and authenticity-from both you and me-and working from an emotional perspective. Unfortunately, we often seek answers outside of ourselves, when the problem and answers are inside. Why? Because we don't like to deal with emotional pain. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and a Juris Doctor from Southern Illinois University. I look forward to working with you and moving in a direction of wellness.

Getting to know David Kolker

Hello. I am David Kolker and have provided clinical services for over 15 years. I work with couples, individuals, and groups. I approach therapy from an Attachment Therapy perspective and believe that co-dependency and shame are our two greatest challenges. A large part of our time together will be identifying unhealthy attachment styles formed during childhood and exploring how these models have impacted our ability or inability to maintain healthy adult relationships. I am atypical from most other therapists in that I believe building rapport is critical. I value self-disclosure, vulnerability, and authenticity-from both you and me-and working from an emotional perspective.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am atypical from most other therapists in that I believe that building rapport is critical. I believe in self-disclosure, vulnerability and authenticity (from both you and I) and working from an emotional perspective. Unfortunately we seek answers outside of ourselves and the problem and answers are inside. Why? We don't like to deal with emotional pain. You will discover that we will deal with emotional issues rather than talk about the weather or newsworthy events. Our job together is to get real and begin building wellness. This is both of our jobs.

In-network insurances

David Kolker, LCSW has 100+ in-network plans.
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $225 for 90 minutes
Ongoing session: $175 for 55 minutes
  • Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

I am adding in-network contracts on a regular basis; however, I will submit all out of network claims and in most cases you will not have an out of pocket expense. 90 Degree Benefits - Caprock ENROLLED UT, IN, FL, more...
