Our team.

David Hanson, LPC, CSAT, EMDR

Owner, Primary Therapist

I am a Dallas native who offers clients a therapeutic and collaborative approach to navigating life crisis. My experience includes providing therapy to individuals and couples with a wide range of issues including addiction, infidelity, codependency, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am a professional who values faith, family, and relationships, and believes that a feeling of connection is to be human. I also recognize the inter-relatedness in life and relationships, facilitating clients towards a holistic well-being and growth.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in marketing from University of Kentucky (C-A-T-S Cats, Cats, Cats!) a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling, and a Master of Divinity. Before joining Bluffview, I spent more than ten years working for non-profit and other faith-based organizations. I also have six years’ experience working in marketing and public relations between a prominent NBA sports organization, and a business consulting firm locally in Dallas.

I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children. I am a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I also enjoy sports, playing board games, reading, and being outdoors. An interesting past time about me is that I was mascot for my university and was filmed and appeared in national CapitalOne/ESPN commercial. I also coached a AAAA men’s varsity basketball team to a Tennessee state championship in 2007.

I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and a trauma therapist. I am trained and use a multitude of therapeutic approaches including EMDR, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Somatic Experience (SE).
