David (Dave) Zavasky

Going through any change in life is a challenge. It is typical to have feelings of doubt, uncertainty, and ambivalence when it comes to change. I truly believe that people are the expert on themselves. This allows me the opportunity to learn about each individual's unique experiences and provide an objective perspective. In doing this, it is my goal to assist each person in exploring different options to help them achieve their best self. My promise to my clients is that I walk alongside them to offer support while making those changes. Ultimately, my hope is to make myself obsolete so that you become your own therapist. Although I use a variety of therapies and techniques, I mostly practice use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In addition to my clinical work, I have also provided counselor training and supervision to newly licensed counselors and social workers, and to counselor and social worker trainees from the following universities: Cleveland State University, Kent State University, John Carroll University, and Case Western Reserve University
