Getting to know David Shaw
As a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from the University of South Florida, I specialize in the treatment of depression and anxiety. I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome their challenges and regain control of their lives. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing, I work collaboratively with my clients to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs and goals.
My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and respect for each individual's journey. I firmly believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and change, and it is my privilege to guide and support my clients as they embark on their path to healing. By fostering a safe and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment, I empower my clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while actively engaging in the therapeutic process.
Together, we will identify and address the underlying factors contributing to depression and anxiety, as well as develop effective coping strategies to manage and overcome these challenges. I am deeply committed to assisting my clients in achieving their goals and living fulfilling, rewarding lives. If you are seeking a compassionate and experienced therapist who will walk alongside you on your journey to wellness, I invite you to reach out and begin your transformative healing process today.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In sessions with me, clients can expect transformative experiences focused on personal growth. Using evidence-based techniques like CBT and Motivational Interviewing, we'll address their challenges in a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment. Clients will gain insights, develop coping strategies, and learn tools to manage depression and anxiety. They'll cultivate self-reflection, self-compassion, and emotional regulation skills, empowering them to navigate life's challenges with resilience. Clear, achievable goals will be set, with guidance and support provided to achieve them. Ultimately, clients will lead fulfilling lives with purpose and fulfillment.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits
