Introducing David!
David Krzysko, LCPC, EMDR EMDRIA Certified, CCTP-I&II certified I and II (Certified Clinical Trauma Professional) and ASAM trained (addictions), began his work with Lynn Zakeri LCSW Clinical Services, PLLC in 2022. As a lifelong learner, he is trained and certified in EMDR and other trauma treatment methods, and has expertise with addictions as well. He is patient, thoughtful, and deeply intuitive, integrating relaxation techniques when useful to his clients in session.
David believes strongly in quality of care. His therapeutic process is focused and collaborative. He assesses obstacles in order to understand the core meaning, and together, he works with his clients to challenge–and overcome–those obstacles. A smart, intuitive listener, and kind but also direct. He sees his role as supportive, providing a safe space that creates and allows this transformative process to occur. He believes that a great percentage of our existence needs to give focus, attention, and concentration on identifying our pursuits. He feels that when we are actively engaged in our pursuits, it allows us to feel meaningfully engaged, which improves our overall quality of life.
“My style of therapy is person-centered, with a focus on motivational interviewing. I can incorporate cognitive skills and relaxation techniques too. I am skilled in working with people who suffer from depression, anxiety, addictions, and trauma. I combine my knowledge of neuropsychology with neurobiology.” He enjoys working with children and parents, as well as focused work with adults.
David also works with couples and says that relationships can get off course, full of grievances and even shattered expectations, and my goal is to help couples enhance their relationship through different communication styles, while still nurturing, rediscovering admiration, and embracing the positive influence that brought couples together from the moment they met. There is also a direct focus on understanding disconnectors, which is an important psychoeducational process. Through this type of work, we find out how we can reconnect.
David’s background includes CBT, EMDR, conflict resolution, relaxation techniques, and trauma work. In addition to these, he has vast experience in addictions (ASAM trained) as well as grief, loss, and bereavement, recognizing that there is an intimately deep processing of each stage that he helps guide others through to help make sense of it all. His diverse experience includes almost 15 years of clinical work. David has experience working in community centers and homeless shelters, with children/adolescents/adults and even with veterans/families/recently released from incarceration. David also worked in inpatient hospital settings (IOP and PHP), and in private practice. David’s passion is working through the therapeutic process, the exploration and discovery of everyone’s journey, the potential for transformation within every being, and the search for meaning & purpose. David, himself, is a former soldier in the U.S. Army.
David’s current work is in the area of private practice with children, adolescents, adults, veterans, and in group therapy. He has a devoted clientele due to his insightful therapeutic expertise, with his invaluable skills in the treatment of trauma.
