HOW I WORK
Most people don’t come to therapy because they’re curious about themselves. They come because something in their life keeps breaking in familiar ways — a relationship that collapses into the same argument, anxiety that remains unconvinced by logic, or a life that looks stable enough but feels increasingly hollow.
I’m Dr. David Saenz, a psychologist with 40 years of clinical experience. My work has been shaped not only by decades in the therapy room, but by life outside of it — raising children, a long-term partnership, my Latino roots, and living through pancreatic cancer.
I work actively and directly, comfortable with intensity, compassion, and contradiction. Easy explanations rarely change much.
My focus is helping people recognize the patterns they’re living — ways of coping that often formed long before they had much say in them, but continue quietly organizing their lives.
Eventually, the question becomes whether the familiar is still worth the cost.
