MEET THE TEAM

David Leung, MACP, RP

REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST | OWNER

Research demonstrates again and again that the therapeutic relationship is the most reliable indicator for client success and satisfaction. That’s why I provide a free 30-minute meet-and-greet session to trial our connection.

Let me help you to see what is inside. This is sometimes called “inner work”. It is getting to know yourself at a much deeper level. It is seeing what is difficult and sometimes uncomfortable to see. The benefit however, is that increased self-awareness leaves you with more options. And when you are able to connect more deeply and authentically with yourself, this connection also becomes available in relationship to others. One of the primary tasks of inner work is to confront inner pain (ie. anxiety, depression, guilt, hurt, trauma, grief...) and to find what is needed for resolution.

In my work, clients become more acquainted with their inner-self and especially difficult thoughts and emotions which tend to be hidden. Discomfort and emotional pain may be avoided but when left unmanaged will make choices for a person all day and every day. If left unchecked, pain will shape your life. And when pain decides, more pain is the result.

Find out what drives those things that you have always wanted to change. Resolve what has been interfering with personal growth. Find resolution to emotional pain. You are a different person without that pain. Free up that person again.

Clients who choose to work with me tend to enjoy creativity and are often creative themselves. They have an affinity for nature and are more spiritual than religious. They long for peace and connection. They want to be as healthy as possible for themselves and for others. Their values are important to them and they aspire to integrity and authenticity. They are not looking for a quick fix but are committed to genuine healing of emotional pain. They seek wholesome relationships with everyone and everything, especially including themselves.

Let me help you find your way back to health and wholeness.

  • Life is complex. I am on my third career and still feel that I need to find my way. I have been married for 25 years, with four wonderful boys (14-21 years old) and a dog. Each of these relationships challenges and teaches me. Everyday I am learning to be me. My own psychotherapy has been an integral part of a life-long process of figuring out this thing we call life. I am learning to experience life with more peace, understanding, and self-compassion. I look forward to sharing these with you too.
