Getting to know David Sepulveda

Hi there, I'm David! Therapy isn't about becoming someone else. It's about understanding yourself and figuring out what works for you. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, relationships, and identity, especially men and LGBTQ+ individuals. You don't have to fit anyone's expectations here, including mine. My focus I especially enjoy working with men and LGBTQ+ adults who feel caught between who they are and who they're expected to be. Whether it's depression, anxiety, masculinity, relationships, or identity, I'm interested in helping you find your own answers. You don't need to change who you are to deserve a better quality of life. My approach I don't believe there's one right way to do therapy. Some days we may challenge old patterns; other days we may need to understand why they're there in the first place. I draw from CBT, mindfulness, and other approaches, but the work starts with understanding you, not fitting you into a particular method. My communication style I'm conversational, curious, and direct when I need to be. I ask questions, offer different perspectives, and sometimes use humor because therapy doesn't always have to feel so serious. I won't pretend to have all the answers, and I don't expect you to either. We'll figure things out together, even when things get uncomfortable. My journey to mental healthcare I've always been interested in why people do what they do and how our experiences shape us. Over the years, I've worked with people from many different backgrounds, each with their own story. What keeps me in this work is knowing that people are more complicated than a diagnosis, and everyone deserves to be understood beyond a label. My goals for you I like goals that mean something to you, not just ones that look good on paper. We'll figure out what you want to change, what's getting in the way, and what small steps might help. Sometimes progress means doing something differently; other times it's understanding yourself better.
