Trusted Therapists.
Our therapy team is here to support you. Both Jim Dvorak and David Watson are clinical associates under my supervision. They come to their study of psychotherapy and work as psychotherapists as a way to align more fully with their interests in the human condition, in alleviating suffering, and in living well. Both Jim and Dave have solid clinical and life experience. I feel inspired to work with them. Please contact them directly for a free 15-minute consultation.
