The focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I help individuals focus on the Solution.
I’m a Licensed Therapist working with clients in California / Florida. Along with my clinical training, I bring lived experience that helps me meet my clients where they're at. Outside of work I enjoy sports, cooking and trying new food, staying active, and getting outdoors—especially hiking—I do my best to live a full life while making sure I have some time to slow down and take it easy.
I’m direct, engaged, and client-driven—and I curse a lot in sessions. I work best with clients who’ve been through hell and are ready to grow and heal from those experiences. I believe therapy works best when there’s a strong foundational fit. If what you’ve read resonates, great—let’s explore working together; if it doesn’t, that’s just as important to know as well! I’m a trauma-informed EMDR therapist who works with childhood trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), depression, anxiety, and grief. I take an integrative approach, pulling from multiple modalities rather than forcing you into one box. I also incorporate creative expression into sessions—especially music—because sometimes words just don’t cut it.
I specialize in helping Women at all stages of life. I have extensive experience working with clients on their relationships. I have additional clinical training in substance abuse, disordered eating, perinatal mood disorders and parenting issues.
I’m David Cao, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing online psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults throughout California. I especially enjoy working with young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, or feeling mentally stuck.
If reaching out for psychiatric care feels intimidating, my goal is to make the process feel more approachable. My style is calm, laid-back, straightforward, and collaborative, with a focus on creating a low-pressure, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about what’s been going on.
I have over 7 years of experience in mental health care and understand how difficult it can be to manage work, school, relationships, and everyday responsibilities while also struggling with your mental health.
During our appointments, we’ll take time to understand your concerns, discuss whether medication may be helpful, and review your options in clear, straightforward language. Medication is never pressured or guaranteed. When appropriate, we’ll discuss potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and what you can realistically expect.
My goal is for you to leave each appointment feeling heard, informed, and confident about the next step, rather than judged, rushed, or overwhelmed.
