About dr. David Hambidge Jr., Psy.D.
Approach:
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a wide breadth of experience providing individual and group psychotherapy for adults. My primary therapeutic approach is relational; focused on providing you with a new relational experience grounded in safety, trust, and acceptance. Collaboratively, we explore how your experiences have shaped the ways you think, feel and relate both in our work and with others.
As we inquire deeply, I help you to discover and understand the organizing beliefs and narratives that keep you stuck. By looking at the problem through reflective awareness, we begin to challenge the validity of maintained assumptions and create healthier ways of thinking, feeling and relating.
My years of clinical experience and training allows me to provide you with the tools necessary to ensure your needs and goals are best met. Treatment goals are individually tailored and can be either short or long-term. I often integrate various approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy (CPT), and mindfulness.
