Because of my commitment to coaching and research in creativity and writer’s block, I currently have no openings for new psychotherapy clients. I don’t expect this to change in the next twelve months.
If you’re a returning client who knows me and just wants a “tune-up” or a few meetings, please call or email and I’ll try to make it happen. My creativity work is over at todayiwrite.com.
Thank you - David, August 2008
Calling a therapist doesn’t mean a long term commitment. On the contrary it means action. As a licensed therapist, with the dream of watching as many people as possible feel better about life, I make the choice to use brief, solution-focused methods most of the time.
Do you think no therapist should tell you how to run your life? So do I. Let’s begin a short respectful man-to-man conversation instead. About whatever you decide to explore.
Don’t ask me for directions. I only know how to ride shotgun on your journey. What guys usually hire me as is a companion for a short time when the path is unclear. I’ve learned some navigation skills the way we all do, along the road, during two marriages spanning 34 years so far, raising my family and in various jobs (yes, the psych degrees help too).
My work begins with my respect for everyone who’s made it this far on life’s journey. I won’t apply some one-size-fits-all technique to your issues. I work to help people notice the strengths and abilities they have to take the reins of their own lives.
The first step is the hardest: getting yourself in here for the first time. Don’t worry about it. Making it ok to be here is my job, not yours. Also, there’s no commitment beyond the first meeting. See available appointments online at http://www.davidmcgarva.com/scheduler.
