Getting to know Dr. David Shepard
Hi there, I'm David!
My name is Dr. David Shepard, and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University. I am also a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, anger issues, relationship challenges, intimacy/sexual health, life transitions, sexuality/LGBTQ+, and identity/self-esteem issues. My therapeutic approach is integrative, person-centered, multicultural focused, collaborative, and strength based.
My approach
When it comes to therapy, I like to meet people where they are at, utilizing evidence-based practices and tailoring therapy to each individual with respect for their cultural backgrounds and the intersecting identities they bring into the therapeutic relationship. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy to help support clients in reaching their therapy goals.
My focus
I enjoy working with adults who want to live a more fulfilling life and seek support for various life circumstances such as anxiety, depression, work stress, relationship challenges, anger issues, sexual difficulties, life transitions, LGBTQ+ challenges, racial challenges, and self-esteem/identity struggles. My goal is to help you make changes that allow you to live and function at your highest potential.
My communication style
My communication style is relaxed, personable, humorous, cooperative, compassionate, and support-oriented. I want my clients to feel that our time together is a safe space where they can talk about and process things that may cause feelings of shame, guilt, embarrassment, regret, and other uncomfortable emotions.
