David Thomas, LPC

David Thomas builds his practice on the belief that a trusting therapeutic relationship is essential for easing emotional pain, boosting motivation for change, and strengthening personal resources. Through talk-based therapy he helps clients clarify their values and use those values as a compass toward greater wellbeing, guiding a shift from isolation toward connection.

His counseling approach centers on being, becoming, and belonging, with an emphasis on creating a safe space for exploration using evidence-based practices. He places particular emphasis on the unique experience of Black American men and on helping individuals grow in ways that benefit themselves and their families.

The core of his work emphasizes self-awareness, discovery, and steady growth. By reflecting on personal experiences, relationships, community, and broader systems, he supports clients in uncovering meaning, developing practical strategies, and finding direction. He often describes the process as iron sharpens iron - growth occurs through relational challenge and honest reflection.

Mental health counseling with David is presented as a strong first step for untangling difficult thoughts and experiences and as a next step for becoming better than current circumstances. The ongoing goals are increased awareness, stronger connection, and intentional movement through life with improved ways of handling its vicissitudes. He holds an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor).
