Getting to know David Krakowski
Hi there and welcome! I'm David and I specialize in treating adult men struggling with stress, anxiety, OCD, phobias, and other mental health issues. Stress and anxiety can really interfere with the quality of your life. Thankfully, they are highly treatable, and I have been able to effect great results with my clients.
I received my Master’s Degree in Social Work from Columbia University. During school and after I graduated, I have received advanced training in CBT, DBT, ACT, exposure therapy, schema therapy and other evidence-based and highly effective modalities. I help my clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their issues and provide them with tools to eliminate stress and anxiety and feel better again.
I don't think therapy is just talking about problems. I develop a treatment plan together with each client and follow through to make sure we're seeing progress and achieving the client's therapy goals.
If you're looking for real and measurable change, I'm here to guide you on your journey!
What should a new client know about working with you?
I provide a warm and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel comfortable opening up and sharing their struggles and challenges. I tailor my approach to meet the needs of each individual client. I use modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Self-Compassion Therapy, and mindfulness practice. I use a collaborative approach and together with the client, we explore what is causing the difficulties and how to heal. We learn about tools that lead to improved mood and reduced stress and anxiety, including focused breathing and mindfulness meditation. In addition, I provide my clients cognitive tools that help them feel better about themselves and their lives. For treating anxiety and OCD, I often utilize exposure therapy (ERP) which helps clients overcome the anxiety and ultimately eliminate it.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
A session is for 45 minutes, but an additional 5-10 minutes is allowed as needed. This is your time to be heard and explore what is troubling you and ways to heal. Over the course of therapy, we will first explore your presenting problems and get a broad and deep understanding of the issues. We will then create a treatment plan together and use that as a way to guide the treatment. Clients normally start seeing progress within 1-3 weeks, but this depends on each client and the particulars of the presenting problems.
Please reach out, I look forward to joining you on your journey towards healing!

David was extremely helpful as a therapist and supported me through a difficult chapter in my life. With the frameworks and exercises that David instructed me through, I was able to move past a serious depression and I feel confident looking ahead at navigating whatever challenges life brings. I still have sessions periodically to make sure I am looking after myself and always get a lot out of my time with David!
