Dave Knowles Counseling

Specialties

Posting a review of my services is your right as a client and it is entirely up to you to decide whether you wish to write a review. But I gently discourage clients from posting reviews of my practice for the reasons below.

1. It is unethical for me to solicit testimonials from my clients.

2. Unlike other business owners who may respond to their Yelp reviews, as a counselor, I must provide confidentiality to my clients. This means I am restricted from responding in any way that acknowledges whether someone has been in my care. Therefore, I do not intend to respond to any reviews.

3. I hope that if we work together, we can discuss your feelings about our work directly and in person. This may not always feel comfortable, but the discussion of positive and negative reactions to our process can be an important part of your therapy. f it is simply a matter of poor fit, I’m always happy to help you find a therapist who is a better match.

History

Established in 2009.

4. If you still choose to write something about my practice on Yelp, remember that this is a public forum and you may be sharing personally revealing information with a wide range of readers. To preserve your privacy, consider using a pseudonym that is not linked to your regular email address or friend networks.

5. If you believe that I (or any licensed mental health professional) has done something harmful, you can contact your state licensing board and make a formal complaint. This can help protect other consumers of therapy services. Be aware that details of your therapy may come up if there is a formal investigation.

Dave K.

Business Owner

Focusing on men’s issues — Safe, confidential, non-​judgmental — Compassionate listening and transformational skill building — Trained in EMDR trauma treatment.

Having worked for twenty years in High Tech Corporate America, I know first hand the stress that a man can undergo from the pressures to perform at work and the call to be present for family at home. I also know the uncertainty and loss that is felt in a transition whether from a new job, loss of a job or changes in family life like a divorce. I know what it is like to go back to school and completely re-​invent oneself in order to remain capable of earning a living. I have taken all of my life experiences and trained myself to be of service to men who are ready to take the next step in moving down the path to a satisfying and purposeful life.
