Great communication. He definitely puts effort in when he sees your efforts or interest in treatment.

He has a great way of helping me to think about things from a different perspective and see situations in a new light. He helps me to see that I don’t need to place blame on myself for situations I cannot control.

The fact that I was able to choose David , is what makes this amazing. He is who I wanted to speak to. When it comes to family issues, speaking to people who have major variations in culture and upbringing. It's different, knowing David is from around the same area my family is from, and follows the same spiritual/ religious morals and beliefs. Allows me to feel like I am connecting with someone who is not only educationally capable, also they can relate to the image I am creating while attempting to describe the true depth of what causes my mental health . Having David by my side once a week, has... I .... To say something, and he just knows, because he has history in my city and surrounding City s. To know that I really feel when I say I live in flames. Because he has seen those flames and he can relate. I have made progress with my ability to withstand certain stressors. He has done a great job of hearing me, and making sure he is fully understanding my situation. He often responds with education, either about mental health, or the biblical stories and references from the Bible that directly relate to whichever topic we are discussing . I would recommend David to anyone who he feels he is capable of helping.

David is a great counselor. He has been able to help me walk through some things giving me really good insight. It obvious he listens well. One thing i really appreciate about David is he is well read in ancient literature and that brings about wisdom from the ages that has lasted over the centuries and is also informed by modern science. Its a great combination.

David has had a major impact on my life already. He is a great listener, highly intelligent and very experienced. I’d recommend him to anyone I know.

Written on Jun 21, 2023 after therapy with David for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues

David is extremely intuitive and reads emotions and read people very well. He is gentle yet firm. Offers very in-depth insight and isn’t afraid to voice his perspectives. He checks in on us every now and then between sessions which is something last therapists didn’t do. He understands without us evening saying much which is impressive. Would love to stay with him.

This therapist has taken a very dark chapter in my life and is helping me glean valuable lessons that I haven't had the power to just simply think my way into. teencounseling.com's journal centric platform helps me piece together entire parts of conversations outside of the direct CBT time and it's helping me get through a very sensitive portion of my complex life.

Thank you David for your Kindness and Respect which when going through cold times feels like a fireplace of warmth and light. It has been good working with your expertise, skills and mind set. I didn’t feel so alone when you lent your virtual shoulder to cry on. You have stuck with me on my main goal - to learn and grow from my difficulties which I am choosing to see as fertilizer for the spring garden; even suffering has its seasons. I am glad to continue and move forward! Thanks for the help.

David is wonderful,

He is kind, caring, and extremely intuitive. I found him to be a wonderful therapist. He allows for you to speak freely without being judged, but also puts himself in your shoes so he can create a two way dialogue. David clearly loves what he does and believes in helping people.

David was a huge help to me in coping with my loss and grief. Before I started sessions with him I felt that I was blindly wandering in the darkness with no direction. Through working together he gave me the tools to help process my grief and helped me walk the path to recovery. David is very considerate and understanding, and I always felt very comfortable talking to him. I 100% recommend David!

David Maurice is fantastic, he takes the time to listen and give feedback that is true to feeling. I previously did not stick with counseling before David and he has changed my perception on that. I was genuinely surprised with how well this app placed counselors with people.
