David Whittinghill, PhD

Please take a few minutes to click through my site to learn more about me and my approach to counseling.  I have over 15 years of clinical experience helping people feel and live better. For years people have come to me for help with a variety of problems and issues. Some want to change unwanted behaviors like quitting cigarettes or excessive drinking.  Some feel stuck and confused and their lives have no meaning or no zest. Others are overwhelmed by worry, fear, sadness  and/or grief due to the loss of a job, a loved one or perhaps they or someone they love has been diagnosed with a life threatening disease.  Whatever the reason, I work diligently to identify solutions and provide encouragement and support to help my clients improve the overall quality of thier lives 

I have been trained to provide counseling using a variety of different approaches including but not limited to  psychodynamic therapy, individual psychology, person-centered counseling, reality therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy and existential counseling. My approach to counseling is tailored to the individual needs of my clients.  Over the years my style of counseling has become primarily phenomenological, which means I do my best to fully understand the thoughts and feelings of my clients.
