Ventura Health Psychology

I am Dr. Aimee David, Psy.D. a licensed clinical psychologist. I do therapy primarily with adults. Many of my patients are working to overcome health issues or major life events, from pregnancy and parenting to aging or the loss of a loved one.

My specialty is Health Psychology. Health Psychology focuses on how our biology, psychology, spirituality, and social factors influence our health and illness. It recognizes the strong connection between our body and our mind. The word ‘health’ has roots defining it as wholeness. While illness may challenge our sense of self, I believe wholeness can be found. Major life events or changes in our health can cause us to reflect on our priorities and desire for change. Holding space for inner emotional work can empower us to make the changes necessary to create the life we want.

My experience in the health care setting allows me to offer therapy that is sensitive to any medical issues you or your loved one might be confronting. However, you don’t have to have a medical issue to see me. After all, life brings many unique challenges even for those without prominent health concerns. My experience collaborating with various health professionals also allows me to offer therapy to those working in healthcare with a deep understanding of the unique challenges healthcare workers face.
