David C BanthinPsychologist, PhD

About

Welcome. I would like to help you take the next step to improve the quality of your life. This might be the next step from a position where you feel locked in self-defeating patterns, the next step in facing something from your past, or the next step in addressing feelings and moods that diminish your engagement with life. The process of taking the next step itself can be concerning -- each part, from contemplation to action, deserves care and attention. I hope you will allow me to help you take this courageous next step. My practice is primarily psychodynamic. I work through the therapeutic relationship to identify and clarify unconscious and conscious processes motivating self-defeating behaviors. I utilize components of cognitive behavioral therapy in working with trauma and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) in working with self-destructive behaviors when appropriate.
