David Thornsen, PsyD

"My wife and I completed a 55 min initial virtual encounter. Dr. Dave spent 30 minutes explaining his “calling” to psychology, his real life experiences and professional positions that make him qualified to earn trust. His credentials include professional degrees in theology and clinical psychology from an institution of higher learning that places Christian religion and principles of biblical knowledge at its foundation. His “real life” experiences included “running” a Christian ministry that ministers to the homeless and at risk population. At no point during his 30 minute sales pitch for the development of a trusting therapeutic relationship did Dr. Dave mention his participation or leadership in ChristIan organizations. Nor did he mention the biblical foundations of his doctoral training and theological education at a conservative Methodist institution. BE AWARE!!! Cannot imagine talking to this man about anything but the weather"

"Dr. Dave wanted to help me. He didn't want to give me all the answers, he helped me figure them out. Sometimes, he even helped me find the questions I didn't understand in the first place. Dr. Dave helped me turn my life around and make sense of it all. Without him, I'd probably still be lost."
