Would you like to stop worry, stress or depression from consuming your energy and distracting you from achieving your goals? Would you like to meet new people and have more confidence in social situations? Would you like to get your relationships more in line with where you want them to be?
Hi. I’m David Kent and I specialize in counseling clients dealing with problems related to anxiety and self-esteem issues. I am passionate about working with populations including medical professionals, mental health clinicians and caretakers. I also commonly counsel clients of all backgrounds for issues including: depression, parenting issues, relationship issues, anger management, career concerns, grief/loss, and trauma to name a few. You can feel comfortable knowing it is my goal to provide you with an environment that is safe, empowering, non-judgmental, supportive, and confidential. You can count on our relationship to be one that helps you grow and feel inspired. Whatever your unique situation is, I can help you rewrite your story and make the most of your infinite potential.
Anxiety can be crippling. Worry, tension, restlessness, physical discomfort, and digestive issues are just a few of the hallmarks associated with anxiety. Although anxiety can feel like a lifelong prison sentence, you should know that it is very possible to feel significant relief in a short period of time if you seek treatment. I can help you to build the skills you need to manage worry and expand your comfort zone so you can begin to experience new things, meet new people, and devote your energy to pleasurable pursuits.
Self-esteem impacts our lives in countless ways. It is easy to base our entire opinion of ourselves on factors like our accomplishments and the acknowledgement we receive from others, or the lack there of. While this philosophy can motivate us to achieve things and put our best foot forward with relationships, it tends to leave us feeling deflated during those normal moments in life where we are unable to accomplish our goals or others have an unfavorable reaction to us. Learning the concept of unconditional self-acceptance is a pathway to preserving true self-esteem no matter what we achieve, while allowing us to relieve the anxiety of “having to do good.” Ironically enough, this often can lift us out of those depressive moods and gives us the confidence and inner stability to willingly be our most effective selves.
