David Byers, AMFT

* CLOVIS LOCATION *

​

I enjoy working with couples and individuals who struggle with relationship distress, unresolved traumas, and life transitions. You will never feel fully prepared to face the things that scare you. That's why healing isn't about feeling better—it's about learning to lean into discomfort rather than running from it. You can expect therapy with me to be collaborative, experiential, some fun mixed in, and always focused on helping you safely lean into the places that deserve and need your attention. To help us get there I use attachment-based approaches of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and Expressive Arts.

EFT is a scientifically 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 healthier ways. Usually, parenting and family dynamics improve as well. I have advanced training using this method.

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.
