David Sullivan

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I would be happy to help you move forward in your life. I have over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. I have a M.A. in Counseling and also a Master of Divinity degree, but I never superimpose my beliefs or convictions on anyone else, because that is not ethical. My aim is to help individuals and couples move forward in life in a consistent manner with their particular goals and values and convictions. As for experience, I have the least experience working with LGBTQ clients. For licensure I have the LPC, and for certification I have the CADC. As such, I am able to help individuals with issues of depression, severe anxiety, major life changes and losses, substance abuse issues, relationship issues, learning to be assertive and to have boundaries, closure for trauma and abuse, and helping individuals create a strategy for finding an ideal career. I draw on several different treatment approaches, but my foundation is the Cognitive-Behavioral approach, because it is proven that guarding the thoughts, avoiding assumptions, and learning to pause and reflect rather than just reacting is what helps people the most to be at peace with themselves, and to better handle the stressors that life throws at us. I look forward to working with you.

Mostly I work with clients in the United States and Canada. But I am uniquely placed so that I can easily work with clients in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, Australia, Europe and the UK. So let’s get going, and let’s start working on what’s most important to you. I look forward to hearing from you.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online really helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life transitions, online therapy is often comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.

One major advantage is flexibility. Clients can choose the way they meet that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals provide online services, and if a particular therapist does not feel like the right fit, switching to a different therapist is an available option. For many people, online therapy offers a practical, effective route to addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
