David Kemmerer

At our practice, we offer a unique and personalized approach to psychotherapy. As a licensed psychologist with extensive training and experience, I am committed to providing a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

About Our Philosophy

Our practice is guided by a psychodynamic orientation, which recognizes that the sources of psychological distress can be complex and often out of immediate awareness. We believe that whatever you feel, think, or do occurs for understandable reasons, even if they are troubling or not so clear. Our goal is to help you make sense of these reasons and create positive change in your life.

Services We Offer

We provide comprehensive psychotherapy services to adults and older adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and trauma. Our approach emphasizes the importance of understanding the interplay of historical, emotional, social, and biological factors that contribute to your strengths and vulnerabilities. By exploring these factors and patterned ways of interacting in the world, you can begin to experience a more calm, satisfying, and hopeful life.

Therapy Approach

Our therapy approach is psychodynamic, which means that we focus on the therapeutic relationship and the interaction between the therapist and client. We believe that this relational aspect of therapy makes it more effective than simply trying to "will yourself" to think or act differently.

Assessment and Testing

In addition to psychotherapy, we also offer psychological testing and assessment services for all age ranges. Our expertise in emotional functioning and personality testing can help identify frequently undetected types of emotional disruptions or vulnerabilities that may not be apparent through other means.

Personalized Care

We understand that every person is unique, with their own set of strengths, challenges, and goals. That's why we take a personalized approach to care, tailoring our services to meet the unique needs and circumstances of each individual.

Compassionate and Non-Judgmental Care

At our practice, we believe that compassion and non-judgment are essential components of the therapeutic process. We strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
