Getting to know David Tan

Hi there, I'm David! My name is David Tan, LMFT. I am an eclectic therapist, comfortable switching between various theoretical approaches to find the right fit for your needs. I have experience treating a wide range of issues, with a particular focus on trauma and the depression and anxiety that often accompany it. My approach I use whatever therapeutic approach will be most successful for you. I’m skilled in several methods, including CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT, Jungian, Client-Centered, Rogerian, Family Systems, and others. My focus I work with people of all ages and diagnoses. I provide teletherapy during nights and weekends, typically seeing clients who need after-hours therapy to fit their schedules. My communication style I take a collaborative approach and aim to build a warm, trusting, and strong therapist-client relationship. I communicate directly but with compassion. I’ll challenge you when needed, always with respect. I’ll tell you how it is while making sure you know how much I believe in you and am here for you. My journey to mental healthcare I graduated with a BA in Economics/Finance from UC Davis but soon realized that field wasn’t for me. I then pursued graduate studies in pastoral ministry at Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary, earning a Master’s in Counseling. After experiencing a personal trauma that shattered my world, I received the help I needed and felt inspired to become a therapist. Helping people change their lives, grow, recover, and heal is my greatest joy. My goals for you I want you to set the goals. Tell me what you want—or don’t want. I’ll work with you to achieve those goals and hopefully more than you ever thought possible.
