David Kraus, LMHC — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm David!

I help people improve their overall quality of life through compassionate, person-centered therapy. I create a safe, non-judgmental environment where we work at your pace to solve problems and move forward. My goal is to help you finetune or develop the tools you need to achieve your life goals and build the future you desire.

My focus

I work with diverse populations of all ages facing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, family issues, major life stressors, and other significant changes. I help clients overcome barriers and move toward meaningful growth.

My approach

I form collaborative therapeutic relationships to help you develop the tools needed to reach your goals. I specialize in CBT, NLP, mindfulness, psychodynamic, person-centered, and trauma-informed care. Together we'll work at a pace that feels right for you as you build the future you want.

My communication style

I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share at your own pace. I use active listening to deeply understand you and your goals. Sessions feel collaborative and comfortable, with no pressure to discuss anything before you're ready.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after my own experiences with ADHD, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and addiction. Navigating recovery taught me there are better ways to heal. I entered this field to understand treatment from every angle and help others find their path to wellness.

My goals for you

I start by hearing your overall treatment goals and what you ultimately want to achieve. Together we break these down into smaller, achievable steps so we can measure progress and ensure we're moving toward what matters most to you.

Our first session

I listen to whatever you feel comfortable sharing about your concerns, problems, or experiences. We'll discuss your personal goals and how I can help you reach them. I welcome all your questions about the counseling process and what recovery can look like for you.
