David Price
Counselor/Therapist, LIcensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) State of Washington
I use ACT-informed therapy by helping clients allow obsessive thoughts without engaging in compulsions, while repeatedly choosing values-based behavior over short-term relief. I integrate this with Exposure Response Prevention (ERP).

Tacoma is home to Joint Base Lewis-McChord — one of the largest military installations in the United States — and a significant portion of its therapy community is oriented toward the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating trauma, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of military life. The city has undergone significant revitalization in recent decades, with a growing arts and healthcare economy alongside the military and port sectors, and therapists frequently work with the identity and adjustment challenges of a city transforming its self-image. MultiCare Health System and CHI Franciscan provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Tacoma's diverse population — including large Pacific Islander, Black, and Latino communities — drives demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the University of Washington Tacoma feeds clinical training into the local community.
