David Thomas, Ph.D, LMHC

We offer solutions that are easy to learn and master. We aim to serve as a teacher, interactively offering you the tools and skills you need to become your own counselor. We're more than just listeners; we're also talkers who present you ways to retain the things you've learned. We believe in short-term counseling that offers a lifetime of results.

WTF prides itself on being a warm, private place where you can address challenges. I've offered counseling in Tampa since 1986. I rely on the most effective methods available - cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and rational-emotive behavioral therapy (REBT). Eclectic approaches that rely on multiple models aren't always as effective as the use of one method. The client can become confused when the curriculum varies, much like when a math teacher shows you five ways to solve a problem, then wants you to solve 20 problems using all five methods. Our way is simpler, offering a chance to quickly get to the heart of your struggles. I use proven, statistically verified methods that will make sense, stick with you, and enable you to move into a happy and fulfilling life.
