Dave Wooden, LPC
Alexandria, VA | Arlington, VA
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience working with individuals and couples. I create a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. I specialize in helping couples navigate challenges like communication breakdowns, recurring conflicts, and infidelity, while also addressing individual concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, and personal growth. Using solution-focused techniques and a holistic approach, I work collaboratively to break unhelpful patterns and foster lasting connection, well-being, and transformation.
