David Gamble
,LPC
I am a therapist with over 20 years of progressive experience in mental health, with a particular focus on the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals dealing with mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. My therapeutic approach is both relational and feminist in orientation, grounded in the belief that our past relationships—both positive and negative—profoundly shape who we become as adults. I have a strong focus on issues like gender dysphoria and LGBTQIA+ identity, providing a supportive and compassionate space for all my clients to explore and heal.
My journey in mental health began at the age of 21 when I worked at a state psychiatric institution for a decade. The experience deeply impacted me, as I witnessed the shortcomings of care during people’s most vulnerable moments. After stepping away from the field for five years to explore other interests, I returned with a renewed passion and commitment to the mental health profession. I earned my BA in Psychology in 2017, followed by an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2020, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision.
In addition to my formal education, I’ve pursued extensive training in integrative mental health practices, including mindfulness, yoga, herbalism, and aromatherapy. This diverse, holistic background enables me to combine traditional therapeutic methods with complementary practices, creating a comprehensive and individualized approach to mental and emotional well-being for my clients.
