How do you work with clients with anxiety?
When working with clients experiencing anxiety, I take a compassionate and holistic approach. I begin by creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their concerns. During sessions, I conduct a thorough assessment to understand the client's symptoms, triggers, and overall mental health. Based on this, I develop a personalized care plan that may include therapy, medication management, lifestyle adjustments, and coping strategies. Help often looks like empowering clients with tools to manage their anxiety, such as relaxation techniques, mindfulness practices, and cognitive-behavioral strategies. I also provide education about anxiety, helping clients understand their condition and how to navigate it effectively. Clients should know that anxiety is treatable, and seeking help is a courageous step toward healing. I emphasize collaboration, ensuring that clients are actively involved in their treatment journey and feel supported every step of the way.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?
Clients with anxiety are not all the same. No two person experience symptoms in the same way for the same reason. There is no one-sized fits all approach. I tailor everything I do with folks to truly understand the origin of their anxiety. Without doing this it can’t actually get better. Sometimes I work with my group practice partner to teach emotional regulation skills and sometimes we help patients connect with a prescriber if indicated. 
Welcome. I’m Dr. Gatta but if we work together please call me David. Good therapy is all about a trusting relationship. Over the course of my 13 year career I have had the privilege of working with a diverse group of people from college age students to senior citizens. My passion is helping people understand who they are, where they would like to go in life and what might be preventing those processes. From this standpoint my treatment philosophy is to address underlying causes rather than just symptoms. Doing so is the only way of achieving lasting substantive change. In order to do that I use a holistic approach, meaning I see each individual as a sum of their total life experiences together with their sociocultural contexts.  I have extensive experience working with family of origin issues, trauma, substance abuse, depression and life transitions (including grief and loss). My background is in clinical psychology where my doctoral dissertation explored dreaming as a theoretical form of thinking (cognition). I also have a background in neuroscience and the humanities . I have taught courses on trauma and recovery, addiction, grief and psychopathology.
