David Brule

With each client, I work to build a trusted partnership through empathy, honesty and adaptive support. In therapy, I provide a safe space for clients to explore, clarify and move through personal difficulties. Together, we identify goals for therapy, and work strategically to build insight, reduce distress, and change unwanted patterns. Clinically, I approach well-being from an Ecological Model perspective; and often use Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioral, and Motivational therapies in my work with clients. However, how therapy looks varies with each person based on their unique needs, cultural contexts, and current circumstances. I often assist clients with concerns related to anxiety, depression, relationships, focus/performance, existence/ spirituality, academic/career development, and general well-being. I also frequently provide support for specific difficulties, including identity development (cultural/sexual/gender/etc.), processing grief, resolving trauma, and substance use. All of us go through times when we feel overwhelmed or lost, and it’s difficult to work through those times alone. When looking for a therapist, consider what qualities (e.g., empathy, structure, logic) might help you most at this point. I’m happy to talk with you by phone about what you’re looking for, how I work with clients, and any questions you have.
