David Kraus

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hello. I am a master's level licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York who has 15+ years clinical experience helping people improve their overall quality of life. Individuals I have successfully worked with have come from diverse populations of all ages who had been diagnosed with a wide range of minor to severe mental health and medical diagnoses.

Environments I have worked and developed skills in include mental health clinics, child and family services, substance use clinics, refugee shelters, Catholic Health, nursing home, tele-counseling, and an Independent Living Center, fighting for the rights of and assisting those with any form of disability to get their needs met, while fostering dignity of choice. I have helped individuals overcome many barriers including trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, family issues, major life stressors, and other significant changes.

Should you choose to work with me I will do my best to set up a safe, non-judgmental, and comfortable environment in which we can work at whatever pace suits you to solve any problems you want to move past. Being a member of a social species all humans need help from others to support them in reaching their full potential; my goal as a counselor is to form a person centered therapeutic relationship with those I partner with to assist them in finetuning and/or developing whatever tools they will need to achieve their overall life goals as they build the future they desire to live.
