David Mittelman

David Mittelman

Birmingham, MI
Psychologist, PHD
David Mittelman, PhD, is a compassionate psychologist dedicated to supporting individuals as they navigate their struggles with depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. He believes that therapy is not solely about addressing problems, but also about recognizing the positive aspects of life. His approach begins with an initial phone conversation, allowing clients to discuss their needs and aspirations to determine if his expertise aligns with their goals. If they decide to work together, David typically arranges weekly sessions to explore both the challenges they face and the strengths they possess, emphasizing that everyone experiences struggles at some point in their lives. Drawing on a rich background in psychoanalysis, David's practice has evolved to incorporate a variety of modalities, including Person-Centered, Humanistic, Integrative, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ensuring a holistic and multicultural approach tailored to each client's unique needs. He views clients not as 'sick' individuals but as human beings engaged in the complex journey of life. He cherishes the privilege of accompanying them through their suffering and joys. Outside of therapy, David enjoys spending time with family and friends, cycling, immersing himself in nature, playing guitar, and performing as a singer-songwriter.
