David McGraw, LPC

Meet David 

Hi, I’m David, a compassionate therapist with over a decade of experience helping adults and couples navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and direction. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with depression, facing relationship difficulties, or navigating a major life or career transition, I’m here to support you in building a healthier, more meaningful path forward.

I believe therapy is more than simply addressing problems—it’s an opportunity for insight, growth, and transformation. My approach integrates existential philosophy, mindfulness, and positive psychology to help you connect with your values, strengthen emotional resilience, and live more authentically.

For the past ten years, I have worked closely with individuals in higher education and professional settings, supporting young adults, professionals in transition, and anyone seeking deeper purpose, balance, and personal growth.
