David Lawrence Hodgson, MA, LMHCA, is a compassionate counselor with over eight years of experience in public education. He deeply understands that many children today feel hurt, confused, and abandoned. Even if a child does not meet the criteria for a 'clinical' diagnosis, they often carry the burden of depression, anxiety, learning disabilities, family issues, and even suicidal thoughts. David recognizes that many children simply want an adult who is willing to listen and genuinely care. He also understands that parents face similar challenges and crave to be heard and nurtured. With a genuine, warm, and accepting counseling style, David’s focus is on providing encouragement, support, and a listening ear to both children and parents alike. He is dedicated to assisting families in overcoming life's struggles and finding the healing they need on their journeys. Acknowledging that reaching out for help can be daunting, David emphasizes that all families experience struggles, particularly in today’s complex world. He encourages courage and openness, whether seeking help from him or someone else trusted.
