David Sobel, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm David!

I have worked with private practice clients, in-patient medical and psychiatric patients, and Employee Assistance Counseling. I look forward to helping you navigate your challenges and build on your strengths.

My focus

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety-related issues, parenting problems, career challenges, adjustment to illness, and end-of-life issues. I am willing to see individuals and couples.

My approach

My eclectic approach uses visualization, hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and psychodynamic and humanistic interventions. I focus on your existing strengths and coping skills to support meaningful change.

My communication style

My counseling style is relaxed, accepting, client-focused, and non-judgmental.

My journey to mental healthcare

I entered this field to support people through life's most difficult moments. Helping clients discover their resilience and move toward healing has been deeply rewarding throughout my career.

My goals for you

My job is to assist you in reaching your desired goals, and I will focus your therapy on the goals you set for yourself.

Our first session

I believe the most challenging part of therapy is realizing that you need professional help to resolve a problem. If you are ready to work on improving your life, setting goals, and reaching those goals, I am here as your professional guide.
