About David
David Bradshaw is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington. He brings eight years of clinical experience and a straightforward, practical approach to therapy. He aims to help people manage depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns in everyday language.
David uses clear tools from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral methods, and client-centered listening to help people identify what matters to them. He focuses on building skills that can be used between sessions. He also draws on dialectical behavior strategies and motivational interviewing when they fit a person's goals.
Before becoming a counselor he spent five years in corrections and law enforcement, and that background shapes how he thinks about safety, structure, and real-world challenges. He earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences. He holds the Washington LMHC credential.
Outside of clinical work he reads widely, practices yoga and meditation, trains in martial arts, and enjoys camping and backpacking. He mentions the Pasayten Wilderness Area as a favorite place to recharge. He also builds desktop computers as a hobby.
In sessions he aims for clear, practical conversations. He helps people talk through grief, addiction concerns, trauma history, parenting stress, ADHD, and many life changes. People can expect concise tools, steady listening, and collaboration on next steps.
