David Robbins

David Robbins works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, sleep disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, career problems, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. He serves as a coach, support, and cheerleader during difficult seasons, offering direct and constructive feedback to those who are motivated to make positive changes.

His style is straightforward and honest - he respects clients' time and resources and aims to move them quickly in a positive direction. David helps clients identify the common question of “why am I doing this?” and uses that insight to free them to make changes. His practice is informed by motivational psychology and cognitive behavioral therapy, though he will draw on any appropriate treatment method rather than rely on a single approach.

David holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology, earning his master’s degree in counseling psychology from MidAmerica Nazarene University in 2009. He brings 14 years of clinical experience, has been in practice for over 10 years, and has worked in mental health since 2006. His background includes work in an inpatient mental health unit (psych hospital), drug rehabilitation clinics, eating-disorder clinics, and clinical practice in a private psychiatric setting, and he also draws on various life and prior work experiences to support his clients.

He is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri. Those who choose to work with David may find the forward movement they are seeking, and he looks forward to supporting people ready to make changes.
