I'm David Bradshaw, I am from Washington State, and I currently live in Birch Bay WA. I was born in 1990, I'm an avid reader, I also enjoy Chess, Meditation, Backpacking, Hunting, and Boxing. I'm a bit of a nerd as well, and I build my own desktop computers. I would say the Pasayten Wilderness Area is one of my happy places. I practice Adlerian Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I work with clients aged 12 and up, including adults and couples. I am also a Clinical Supervisor and can train new counselors helping them earn hours toward their licensure.

I work with young adults navigating the transitions and tasks of early adulthood (moves, breakups, early career experiences, etc), and help with ADHD, OCD, perfectionism and people-pleasing, panic/anxiety, insomnia, depression and PTSD. I also specialize in individual therapy with adolescents, and strategic parent consultation with parents who want to decrease conflict and improve their relationships with their kids with ADHD or adult children with chronic mental health conditions. I also help people process past experiences of living in residential treatment settings, especially "troubled teen industry" survivors.

You may be overwhelmed by anxiety or stuck in depression, knowing only that you need help. You may have lost, or never found, a sense of fulfillment or passion at work or in school. You may be finding yourself in patterns or dynamics in relationships that are no longer serving you. I am here to provide you with a space that offers something different - a relationship focused on supporting your journey towards an authentic life. Through warmth, acceptance, empathy, and sometimes supportive challenges, I will help you align yourself with the person you are meant to be.

From the moment you arrive at my office you will be met with what has been designed to be a relaxing, thought provoking, and priming environment that helps create curiosity and tranquility. A high amount of consideration is taken in the process of establishing an environment that is not only welcoming, but enhances your ability to engage your inner world with comfort and inquisitiveness. From this point on, my purpose is to help you unfold your purpose for being in therapy, and collaboratively create, implement, and maintain a plan that guides you towards addressing and moving beyond your distress.

Therapy can be a difficult but worthwhile endeavor. I believe healing is a life-long journey, it is not linear, nor does it happen in isolation. I honor your trust by providing a space where you can feel safe, supported, and most of all be vulnerable. A space that is free of judgement and of unsolicited advice. I provide a person-centered therapeutic approach that includes psychoeducation, EMDR, mindfulness, Buddhist Psychology, Somatic, and Ego State techniques, all rooted in a trauma informed and holistic perspective.

I work with adults who deal with anxiety, depression, social anxiety, identity formation, grief and loss, relationship issues, and life transitions. My goal is to help you make more intentional decisions about how you live, using your inherent strengths rather than letting outside factors determine your behavior. I am passionate about guiding you through this process, uncovering your true power, and letting your personal growth inspire and drive your progress. I also have a particular specialty and interest in working with artists.

Therapy is a chance to awaken to ourselves. Each of us are complex human beings with hopes, desires and a unique presence in this world. Life, however, can have a way of getting in the way of who we truly are. My desire is to provide a space where together we can safely get to know all the parts of you, free these parts from past trauma, and allow you to live a fuller life. I work compassionately with people dealing with chronic people pleasing, religious trauma and faith deconstruction, childhood sexual abuse, anxiety, relationship issues, and identity exploration. I also work with couples desiring deeper connection.

Trauma, in its many forms, creates a barrier to joy. We endure symptoms and work hard to adjust, but sometimes it's hard to manage. Many people develop instinctive coping skills to survive, and yet, these survival skills create residual anxiety and depression. Each can lead to isolation. No one should be alone with these experiences. I hope to share my knowledge to help you manage your trauma. I'm an eclectic counselor, former teacher, and full-time empath trained multiple modalities. My background helping others has created a noticeable enthusiasm to connect and share in my client's story of growth and change.

I help people struggling with attachment difficulties and unprocessed pain find relief and live more effective, connected, and fulfilling lives. The people that I treat in my practice show up because something in their lives is no longer working (they may not even know what exactly that something is yet), and they are tired of suffering and are ready to try something different. They are committed to exploring their pain and ready to take action to make their lives better. Together, we will uncover the underlying attachment patterns, beliefs, past experiences and emotions that keep you stuck, and help you find ways to move forward.

Counseling works best when there is an understanding of your concern and a plan of action for making positive change. I see counseling as a collaborative process; I will work with you to find ways of dealing with challenges that result in improvement for you, your partner, and for your family. My ideal client is curious about how they could live a more fulfilling life. I also enjoy working with reluctant or skeptical clients who may have had a bad experience in counseling before.

I specialize in EMDR Therapy and Christian (integrated) counseling. I have experience in helping clients with Trauma (acute/Chronic/complex), stress and anxiety, Narcissistic Abuse, Premarital/marital/relationship issues, chronic pain, depression, and most mental health conditions. I work with my clients and believe in authenticity and transparency to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Learning coping strategies and skills to manage life stressors is great, but my goal ultimately is that you actually heal and grow in the abundant life.

Male Therapists
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
