David Kraus

Individuals I have successfully worked with have come from diverse populations of all ages who have been diagnosed with a wide range of minor to severe mental health and medical diagnoses, including anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, PTSD, ADHD/ADD, personality disorders, grief, relationship problems, and substance use disorders. I am trauma and disability specialized, I know how to treat trauma, distress, and mental health symptoms following The Path of Least Resistance, using either hands on and/or hands off discussing past trauma/history treatment approaches. Please feel free to book with me now by clicking on my website: https://care.tavahealth.com/providers/david-kraus I specialize in many treatment modalities including CBT, NLP, mindfulness, psychodynamic, person-centered, Christian Counseling, and trauma-informed care. Environments I have worked in include MH clinics, child and family services, substance use clinics, refugee shelters, Catholic Health, nursing homes, tele-counseling, and an Independent Living Center. Should you choose to work with me I will do my best to set up a safe, non-judgmental, and comfortable environment in which we can work at whatever pace suits you to solve any problems and treat any mental health symptoms you want to eliminate. I use active listening to better understand my clients and empower them to direct their path to full recovery. I have earned my Diagnostic Privilege credential and am certified to diagnose mental health conditions by the NYS Office of the Professions. I am an Eagle Scout and member of Chi Sigma Iota Honor Society in mental health counseling and Golden Key International Honor Society. I help clients to find the Path of Least Resistance to Full Recovery, the fastest most efficient way of getting from point A at present to point B recovery, with the least amount of effort, energy expenditure, and added distress, to secure a healthy relationship with the self, others, and the world around us and to be in overall conscious control of your thinking, feeling, and behavior. I use many neuropsych based mindfulness practices to help clients access what neurology calls in scientific studies the Oneness Center of the Brain, containing our highest level of human consciousness, related to more powerful emotions like Love, Joy, Bliss, Peace and Interconnectedness with one's self, others, and the world around us and greater overall understanding and executive functioning.
