Dave Werner - Stone Arch Psychology and Health Services

Every individual brings their unique strengths into the therapeutic process, my role as your therapist is to help you tap into those strengths and facilitate the building of new skills that will assist you in dealing with life challenges. I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I also believe therapy shouldn’t be a dry, clinical experience. I approach our work with professionalism and warmth. Whether you’re feeling stuck, having difficulty seeing a clear path forward, or overwhelmed by life demands, I am here to help facilitate the change you seek. I aspire to collaborate with you to clarify your goals and develop new ways to overcome your unique challenges and create lasting change.

I work with adolescents and adults who are struggling with a wide variety of mental health concerns including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, phobias and attention and concentration challenges. My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Behavioral Activation (BA), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Introducing and walking you through appropriate therapeutic techniques during the therapy will provide you with tools and new ways to approach challenges. I strive to make the therapeutic process transparent, helping you to understand why we are taking various approaches as well as how these approaches align with the changes you want to make in your life.

Cultural sensitivity and inclusiveness are essential to my work. I make it a priority to engage with clients from all backgrounds in a respectful and open-minded way. I continuously educate myself to ensure that I can offer a culturally sensitive and personalized approach for each client. I am here to support you in finding the path forward, creating meaningful change, and living a more fulfilling life.
