David Woldtvedt
(He/Him/His)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
Addiction and trauma specialist, but I am comfortable treating a wide range of mental health issues.
My name is David Woldtvedt. Much of my clinical experience has involved working with individuals impacted by addiction, co-occurring mental health issues, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, and other adverse childhood experiences. As a practitioner I aim to build a relationship with each of my clients that involves the foundational elements of trust and meeting individuals where they are at. I utilize therapeutic skills in sessions that are solution-focused and healing-centered. I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. EMDR is one of many therapeutic approaches I use and it is highly effective for treating trauma, anxiety, distressing memories, phobias, and even for reducing cravings. As a Substance Use Disorder Professional with nearly 10 years of experience, I also specialize in treating addictions which may include gambling, pornography, shopping, sex, screens/technology, and gaming. Working with people who have a diverse number of identities and backgrounds, I value, honor, and celebrate differences. I look forward to cultivating a strong, working relationship with each of my clients. Let's get started!
