David offers a sanctuary for those navigating relationship challenges, trauma, anxiety, and more. Grounded in empathy, his practice provides a space where feelings of alienation, anger, and intergenerational trauma are deeply acknowledged and understood. Through a blend of somatic techniques to connect with your physical sensations and storytelling methods to delve into your personal history, David aims to free you from shame, stress, and anger, guiding you towards a life of greater self-awareness and emotional liberation. His mission is profound yet straightforward: to help you achieve a richer, unburdened life.
My journey into psychotherapy is rooted in a deep, personal understanding of adversity and resilience. Witnessing my mother’s struggle with mental illness due to the traumas of World War II ignited my passion for helping others navigate their psychological challenges. With diverse life experiences, including a career in business and roles as a father and grandfather, I offer a rich perspective to my practice. I specialize in addressing relationships, trauma, anxiety, and more through a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that emphasizes somatic practices and narrative exploration. I am deeply committed to my clients’ emotional freedom and self-awareness, using my experience and empathy to help guide them toward healing and growth.
Language I work in: English
While I work with individuals with a wide range of concerns and challenges, some areas I specialize in include:
From the very start, we’re shaped by countless interactions — in the womb, through family dynamics, friendships, school experiences, work life, and even the echoes of our ancestors. This complexity makes each person’s story profoundly unique.
In our work together, we start by tuning into your current state — are you feeling disconnected, anxious, or something else entirely? Identifying the most pressing issues you’re facing allows us to set a clear direction for our therapy sessions. My role is to guide you through this exploration, helping to illuminate patterns that may be holding you back and exploring new ways of being. Through this journey, we aim to understand not just the challenges but the incredible uniqueness that you bring to your life and relationships.
Starting your journey toward healing and growth is just a step away. You can reach out to me directly at d.wiwcharyk@gmail.com or call me at 289-214-1504 to schedule a free initial consultation. Together, we’ll explore how I can support you in navigating the changes you’re aiming for.
