David Rodríguez Argüello

I combine exploration of thoughts and emotions with practical strategies for daily challenges. I use psychodynamic techniques, reflective dialogue, psychodrama, short home exercises, mindfulness, and guided breathing as needed. I primarily work with individuals but also support couples and groups, addressing trauma, anxiety, addiction, ADHD, life crises, vocational uncertainty, and personal growth. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can understand yourself, reorganize your story, and move forward confidently toward the life you want.

I collaborated with an eating-disorder focused clinic led by Dr. Sally Daganzo in Los Angeles, providing psychological support, reflective conversations, psychoeducation and emotional regulation strategies for individuals working through body image and self-worth challenges. I also assisted in creating educational materials and structured activities for clients and families, which strengthened my understanding of trauma, identity and everyday wellbeing. Before I worked in the human rights reporting unit of the National Assembly of Venezuela’s Commission of Internal Policy. My responsibilities included documenting cases, preparing reports and offering primary psychological support to individuals affected by state violence and other critical events. This role involved active listening, crisis-oriented guidance and trauma-informed approaches to help people organize their experiences in moments of high vulnerability. For the past four years, I have maintained a private psychological counseling practice where I support individuals through personal exploration, life transitions and emotional development. I integrate mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral strategies, radical acceptance and psychodynamic tools to help clients understand internal patterns, gain clarity and strengthen their sense of direction. My focus is to create a warm, respectful and reflective space where people feel heard and supported.
