About David
Dr. David Sommers is a licensed clinical social worker with 40 years of experience. He offers straightforward, client-centered care that focuses on listening first and following the client’s lead. He aims to make sessions a calm place to talk through stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes without judgment.
He uses a client-centered approach that centers the person’s experience. Meetings emphasize understanding feelings, naming what matters, and finding practical steps to move forward. That can mean working on sleep, appetite, daily routines, or how to handle relationship and work pressures.
Over four decades Dr. Sommers has helped people manage addictions, grief, trauma, and mood concerns. He also brings attention to issues like attention difficulties, impulsivity, and compassion fatigue. His background supports talking through both immediate problems and longer-term patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. He invites clients to set goals and to check progress as therapy continues. The focus is on useful strategies and clearer self-understanding rather than labels.
