David Byers, LMFT

* CLOVIS LOCATION *

​
I enjoy working with couples and individuals who struggle with relationship distress, unresolved traumas, and life transitions. You can expect therapy with me to be collaborative, supportive and focused on helping you safely lean into places that deserve and need your attention. To help us get there I use attachment- and body-based approaches of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Expressive Arts.

EFT is a highly researched and proven method for working with couples, focusing on their attachment bond, connection, and emotional safety. Couples often feel more loved and supported when they learn how to bond with their partner in safer and healthier ways. Usually, parenting and family dynamics improve as well. I am a Certified EFT Couple Therapist through the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT).

EMDR is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD, as well as other distressing life experiences like anxiety, depression, and phobias. 

Expressive Arts therapy emphasizes trauma repair and underscores how creative expression connects us to ourselves and to others.
