About us
Dr. David McFadden
I like and I believe in people. I find people incredible and fascinating in their ability to cope with, live through, learn from and change as a result of what life throws at them.

There is always a way
I always, always believe there is a way to move forward. There are times when the way is hard to find, when our brains shut down to the possibility of a way through the mess and uncertainty in front of us. My job is to help you believe there is a way, and then to find the way that works best for you. (Even if that means you borrow my faith in you for a little while.)
I bring a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and one in Pastoral Counseling, a Doctorate in Pastoral Counseling, a wealth of experience in life and in my work as a therapist, and a personality built for working with people. Helping people is my life’s calling.
I also have a great marriage, and Debbie and I have worked hard over the years to take care of each other. More about the two of us.
I’ve always taken on personal challenges: I have ridden my bicycle to the top of the highest paved road in the world four times, 60 miles of pedaling uphill. I’m not afraid of something difficult, and I’ll jump in with you to take on the challenge, trial, tragedy, major decision or struggle you are facing. I will stick with you until we get it figured out and you are reaching your goals.
I can help with
- Being the victim of an affair
- Getting disentangled from an affair
- Restoring a broken marriage
- Learning how to take care of your spouse
