HOW I WORK
Most people don’t come to therapy because they’re curious about themselves. They come because something has stopped working — a relationship that keeps collapsing into the same arguments, anxiety that won’t respond to logic, or a life that looks stable enough but feels increasingly hollow.
I’m Dr. David Saenz, a psychologist with over 40 years of clinical experience. My work has been shaped not only by decades of practice, but by life outside the therapy room — raising children, a long, committed partnership that has shaped me, my Latino roots, and living through pancreatic cancer.
I’m active and direct in the work, comfortable with intensity, compassion, and contradiction. I’m not interested in tidy explanations or easy fixes that rarely hold. My focus is on helping people to gain insight and recognize the patterns they’re living—often formed long before they had much say in them. From there, the work becomes deciding, consciously, whether to keep repeating the familiar or take the risk of doing something different.
