Looking for a warm, safe and accepting space to process your life experiences and develop a plan to achieve your desired outcomes? My name is David Walker and I am an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

When engaging in the therapy relationship, my work has been grounded in supporting Black, Indigenous, and people of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and other intersectional identities. I have worked in addressing concerns related to: discrimination from the criminal justice system, racial and societal injustices, anger, substance use, trauma, self-image and self-esteem, changes in life, relationship concerns, healing in intimacy, communication, depression, anxiety, suicidality, and self-harm.

My goal is to give you the grace and space you need to better understand what you’re going through while respecting you’re the expert of your life. Reach out today to get started in discovering your inner strength and worth to be a happier and fuller you.
