Dr. David Wilcox, LMHC

Dr. David Wilcox has practiced professional counseling since 1991 and brings long-term clinical experience to his work with individuals and families. He is a LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) licensed in Florida, and much of his caseload has focused on trauma in both clinical and sub-clinical forms. He has worked directly with people who have experienced trauma and with their close relations - spouses and family members - to help everyone involved understand the dynamics that accompany traumatic experiences.

He recognizes that some people cope with intrusive thoughts and feelings by turning to substance use, and he provides support for substance misuse as part of his clinical approach. His practice draws from several therapeutic models, including cognitive-behavioral methods, the transtheoretical Stage of Change model, solution-focused techniques, and humanistic-existential perspectives. These approaches inform tailored plans that reflect each personâs readiness and goals.

Dr. Wilcox frames mental health as comprising four interrelated areas - biological, psychological, social, and spiritual - and aims to address those domains across the course of therapy. He works to match interventions to the moment-to-moment needs of the individual rather than treating every area at once, with the aim of promoting meaningful change over time.
