About John "David" Reid

John "David" Reid prefers to use his middle name, David, in professional settings. He is a licensed therapist in Virginia and Indiana with 18 years of clinical experience, holding LMHC and LPC credentials - LMHC meaning Licensed Mental Health Counselor and LPC meaning Licensed Professional Counselor. He has substantial experience supporting people who face both mental health challenges and substance use concerns, and he brings particular understanding to veterans and former first responders based on his own background in those roles.

He adapts to the form of communication that best fits each person, while encouraging at least occasional video sessions to maintain a strong therapeutic connection. He asks clients to take part in a video session early in the work together and periodically thereafter to support engagement and progress. David approaches therapy from a stance that the individual is the expert on their own life, offering listening, guidance, exploration, support, and empowerment throughout what he describes as a "wellness expedition." He emphasizes the courage it takes to begin this work and supports people as they pursue greater fulfillment and wellbeing.
