David Hay, MSW/LLMSW

I am a dedicated therapist with a dynamic professional background that spans both the entertainment and non-profit sectors. Having worked at Paramount Pictures and William Morris Agency, I bring a unique perspective to my practice, informed by insights from the arts. This diverse experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of personal growth and transformation complexities. In my therapeutic approach, I prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their inner selves. My commitment to empathy and trust is unwavering, and I believe in the power of collaboration on the journey towards healing and self-discovery.

I have a particular passion for issues related to women's rights and Buddhist spirituality, cultivated through my work with V-Day and SGI-USA. The rich tapestry of my professional journey sets me apart. Our collaborative efforts will combine your life experience with my therapeutic process to establish a thriving life. All individuals are welcomed.

I use an integrative approach that involves evidenced-based approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness (DBT), trauma informed (EMDR), somatic, and expressive arts therapy. Together, we embark on a transformative journey, working towards unlocking your potential, rewriting life narratives, fostering growth, healing, and resilience.
