Long ago in the land of middle-Pennsylvania, there was a therapist who wanted to create a wellness practice to unite all other wellness practices…

Just kidding, but kinda not really.

David Schenck is not your average therapist.

After obtaining a Masters in Psychology with a clinical focus, he went on to provide therapy for many diverse populations in need. Therapy was (and is) his life’s calling, but he realized that many people found their therapeutic experiences lacking in the empathy many so desperately sought, and had become disillusioned with the idea of therapy. He saw that many people could not even find providers due to hardship, and the services they were able to find were impersonal and insufficient to grow. They seemed to feel lost in the tides of life.

If he had a nickel for every person he heard say that their previous therapist didn’t seem to really care that they were suffering, he’d have too many nickels. It broke his heart.

He gained a full doctoral level of education and expertise in psychodynamic techniques, but began to understand that it’s not enough to heal the mind alone; physical health, spirituality, interpersonal relationships, and a passion for life are vital for a person to grow. With a vision of helping people to change and grow in a deeper, holistic, and meaningful process David Schenck, along with the help of his beautiful wife and business partner, created Terra Firma Holistic Therapy. Their hope was to share these insights with the world, and help people create the best versions of themselves.
