Getting to know David Squire
Hello, my name is David Squire, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 36 years of experience helping people navigate challenges affecting their body, nervous system, mind, emotions, self-image, relationships, and work. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from San Diego State University. My approach to therapy recognizes that we all need support to work through situations or issues too difficult to solve alone until we get the help we need. I consider the person and their interactions with their environment.
My approach
The therapeutic approaches I use are tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. Generally, I use a mixture of therapies. Because I have seen these approaches work powerfully, I primarily use Somatic Experiencing Therapy and Polyvagal Theory to resolve incomplete arousal cycles in the body that contribute to physical, emotional, and relational difficulties; Family Systems Therapy to examine family dynamics shaping how we relate to ourselves and others; and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which explores how emotions connect to needs (feelings when needs are met or unmet). Additionally, I use Humanistic Therapy approaches emphasizing personal growth, self-awareness, and our own definition of success, as well as Interpersonal Therapy to improve relationships and communication.
My focus
I have had success working with children, adolescents, and adults. My experience covers a broad range of difficulties, including problems with self-esteem, sleep, emotional regulation, harsh self-judgment, and trauma.
My communication style
The environment I create in sessions is one where clients feel safe, accepted, understood, respected, supported, encouraged, empowered, and gently challenged in a way that works for them.
