About
Greetings (or a better introduction). I am an award winning therapist (true) who is loved by everyone I meet (not possible). I believe the therapy office should be the safest place you can be by yourself or with a family member (even if you think they're crazy), which helps create an atmosphere better suited for sharing and learning (sorry, nothing clever to add here). I offer very practical tools that can help improve communication, reduce conflict, and ultimately help people feel more loved (yes,a therapist can actually be practical and not just ask, "How does that make you feel?"). Even men and teenagers have found me helpful (some were even very grumpy about being there to start).
I have over twelve years experience, three Masters' Degrees, an option for either Christian or non Christian counselling, and a firm belief in the healing power of laughter (when appropriate). I have a background in CBT, DBT, EFT, and solution focused therapy, and I have a little thing called common sense. This helps me write a weekly blog on tools and ideas that can help make life more enjoyable, which can be found at www.ChadDavid.ca.
