David Hay

With a dynamic professional background spanning New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Ann Arbor, and Melbourne, Australia. I bring extensive experience as a dedicated therapist. My journey through the performing arts, fashion, technology, and non-profit sectors has provided me with a unique perspective on personal growth and transformation. In my therapeutic approach, I prioritize creating a safe, culturally sensitive, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their inner selves. My commitment to empathy and trust is unwavering, and I believe in the power of collaboration on the journey towards healing and self-discovery.

I have a particular passion for issues related to women’s rights and Buddhist spirituality, cultivated through my work with V-Day and SGI-USA. The rich tapestry of my professional journey sets me apart. Our collaborative efforts will combine your life experience with my therapeutic process to establish a thriving life. All individuals are welcomed.

My primary approach is Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) -informed, alongside Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Flash Technique, DBT Sex Therapy, Play Therapy, and Family Systems. I specialize in anxiety, interpersonal issues, life transitions, identity, sexuality, and high levels of self-criticism.
