Intentional Therapy

Real Change

OCD is treatable.

Not by silencing it but by taking away its power.

About David Myrick, LCSW

As a licensed therapist and author, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and motivated to make meaningful change. I earned my master’s degree at Tulane University and have been independently licensed since 2016, now practicing here in Southern California with a virtual option for individuals in MA.

"Previously serving as an intake therapist at the VA, David has truly heard it all and receives everyone with non-judgment and compassion. If you're looking for someone to see your strengths (even when you don't), I highly recommend David!"

"David is an incredibly professional and compassionate provider. I would highly recommend him as a therapist for anyone looking to establish with a new provider."

Why Me?

(here's how colleagues describe my work)

"Guided by compassion and experience. He integrates unique experiences and clinical ideas turning them into an intervention that is most suitable for you and unique to your needs. A clinician that is truly here to empower you on your healing journey."

“David is not only compassionate but also highly skilled in his approach to therapy. He brings years of professional experience and a deep understanding of how to guide his clients through life's challenges.“

I work primarily with individuals suffering with OCD as well as gay and queer men to explore what’s beneath the surface, strengthen your sense of self, and approach life’s challenges with more clarity and self-respect. When it feels like you’re throwing everything against the wall, therapy can be a steady place to pause and reset so you can move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and worth living.
