About Dr. David Wilcox
Many clients Dr. Wilcox has seen turn to substances as a way to manage intrusive thoughts and intense feelings; he incorporates substance misuse support into trauma-focused care when that pattern is present. His counseling draws on several frameworks, including cognitive-behavioral methods that identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior, the transtheoretical Stage of Change model that meets clients where they are in readiness for change, solution-focused strategies that emphasize practical steps, and humanistic-existential perspectives that explore meaning and personal values.
Dr. Wilcox views wellbeing as made up of four interrelated domains - biological, psychological, social, and spiritual - and aims to address those areas as needed across the course of therapy rather than all at once.
