About

My name is David Draper and I am a Marriage and Family therapist licensed in California. I have been counseling for almost 30 years and I have a deep level of experience working with clients with a variety of issues. I have been in private practice for many years while also directing a counseling center at a university. I am also a Professor of Psychology and I enjoy training students to become Forensic Psychologists. In addition to forensic populations, my specialties are LGBTQ+ affirmative counseling, self-esteem depression, anxiety, college-aged developmental issues, as well as many other areas. If you feel overwhlemed, not yourself, overly worried or confused, depressed or anxious it's necessary to be supported in a non-judgmental atmostphere that allows you to break through resistence and work through the issues in order to come to a better place. Seeking therapy can feel scary but its the right choice!
