About David
David Drake is a California-based psychologist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction. He focuses on practical steps people can take now. His style is warm and non-judgmental, leaning on collaboration so clients feel heard and understood.
He works with each person to clarify what matters most to them, including issues around life purpose, men's concerns, and guilt or shame. Sessions often include straightforward tools to reduce panic attacks, improve mood, and address substance use challenges. He aims to build stronger coping skills that a person can use between sessions.
Over nine years of practice, David has supported people through attachment and communication problems. He also helps people facing post-traumatic stress and mood disorders. He uses a mix of approaches to match a person’s needs rather than a single fixed method.
His approach blends client-centered listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Motivational interviewing and existential work appear when clients need help clarifying values or making difficult changes. The result is a plan that fits daily life and personal goals.
