David Schenck, MA

Hey, you! Here’s a PSA: You’re a really cool person who’s worth all the happiness this life has to offer.

At Terra Firma, our mission is also our greatest passion: to help you recognize how awesome you really are, and that you’re capable of anything you put your mind to (except maybe interdimensional travel, but who are we to stand in the way of destiny?) We want to help you evolve into the version of you who feels seen, heard, and understood; the one who feels confident, happy, and whole. We know that there are times where it feels like there’s absolutely no way that’s ever going to happen, because you’re just not the kind of person who’s capable of that. That’s rubbish, and we promise you that you can!

What makes our practice a little different is that we approach each client with the understanding that you are a wonderfully complex and multidimensional person (obviously, right?), so we’ve thought outside the box and gained expertise in a wide variety of wellness approaches ranging from psychotherapeutic techniques, meditation, life coaching strategies, and personal training. What we’ve discovered is that contrary to popular belief, people do not fit neatly inside little boxes. Your relationships, career, hobbies, diet and exercise, spiritual beliefs, etc. etc. are all interacting to create the current version of you. In our holistic therapy approaches, we shirk the mindset that you are a narrow range of symptoms to be treated, and instead look at you as a whole person.
