Dr. David Liebert
Counselor/Therapist
My therapeutic approach is eclectic; I utilize the theory and tools of multiple different models to customize your treatment. I will individualize my work with you in order to meet your specific goals and honor your unique experience. I will rely on your feedback to guide our time together. My intention is for you to finish each session with confidence that the time was well spent. In therapy, we will evaluate your life values and create goals, so that you can live life well, even in the presence of challenges. I will integrate psychodynamic (insight-oriented) and behavioral (skills-based) theories to offer you a comprehensive approach to health.
