David Boeving (they, them, theirs)

Being curious about our experiences, past and present, opens a space where we can radically understand and transform our sense of self and how we respond to our world. That space can include better understanding what systems inform our lives, and what systems our lives inform (schools, careers, families, relationships, laws, and more). Being curious about one’s experiences can be intense and challenging – and meaningful and empowering. In therapy, we commit to working toward bettering ourselves and our world.

David Boeving, MA, LLMSW, works with individuals looking to process anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges. David (they, them) most often makes use of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and has training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP). David’s work often highlights the effects and uses of emotions, and the ways we can respond to challenges in our lives. David’s practice focuses on the LGBTQIA2S+ community, relationships, and parents and guardians of children.

David’s approach to therapy is strengths-based while being rooted in serious reflection. A balance between safety and rigor is crucial for successful therapy. David helps clients take the lead when looking back on significant experiences, and while looking forward on healthier, more content, and more equitable futures.

David holds a Masters of Social Work from University of Michigan under the Interpersonal Practice in Integrated Health, Mental Health, and Substance Abuse pathway. During their MSW, David interned as a therapist with the Perinatal Clinic at Michigan Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry, where they offered therapy to a variety of clients within—and beyond—the perinatal period, including group DBT therapy. David also holds a Masters of Arts in Creative Writing from Eastern Michigan University and encourages clients in creativity (journaling, poetry, painting, fiction, and more) that can be used in the service of healing. Through creativity and other self-care practices, we cultivate the person we strive to be in the world, and the world we strive to be in.

David’s therapy practice takes place on the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Lands of the Anishinaabeg, Potawatomi, and Wyandotte peoples.

Because therapy is for the self—and might benefit one’s community—I share here a number of readings on social change that may be of interest:

  • On abolition: https://www.vogue.com/article/what-is-abolition-and-why-do-we-need-it
  • On intersectionality: https://www.law.columbia.edu/news/archive/kimberle-crenshaw-intersectionality-more-two-decades-later
  • On decolonization: https://www.racialequitytools.org/resources/fundamentals/core-concepts/decolonization-theory-and-practice
