Dave Halper, MA, LMFT

I am currently not accepting new clients to better serve my current clients.

I take a straightforward, common sense approach to counseling. Many times we just need someone to help us sort out what seems jumbled in our minds. I work with individuals, couples, teens, parents, and children as young as 12. Many of our past experiences linger in the form of fear. Bringing to light some of the exaggerated responses we have today as a result of these experiences can help us manage them. Identifying our habitual ways of thinking that do not serve us well allows us to develop more helpful ways of thinking.

I work with people that suffer from depression, anxiety, or just a feeling that they could be happier in life. I have experience helping people sort out the aftermath of affairs. I have special training in treating issues of sexual compulsivity. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally.
