Dr. David Engstrom

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

My name is Dave and I am a clinical health psychologist with over 30 years of experience in the field.
I received my Ph.D. from the University of Southern California and served my internship at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. I am a Diplomate of the American Board of Professional Psychology.
I currently live in Scottsdale, Arizona (licensed psychologist in Arizona) and am on the Medical Staff at Honor Health Medical Center.
Although my clinical interests are broad, I have special training and experience in psychological aspects of chronic illness, including chronic pain and sleep disorders (especially insomnia). Beyond that, I am experienced in treatment of anxiety, depression and chemical dependency. I use motivational interviewing techniques as well, since we all have difficulty getting and staying motivated to make the changes we know we need!
It would be a pleasure to work with you if you believe my profile would be a good fit for you!

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can meaningfully help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. One of the primary advantages is flexibility – individuals can connect in the format that fits their life best, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That convenience often makes it easier to keep appointments and integrate therapy into daily routines. Licensed professionals provide online care, and clients can change therapists at any time if they would like a different match. For many people facing everyday mental health challenges, online therapy offers an accessible and effective route to support.
