David A. Sklar, PhD, ACSW
Psychotherapy
ABOUT ME

I am married and the father of 2 boys, 17 and 20. I reside in
Oak Park, Michigan, just outside of Detroit. I graduated from
Clark University, received an MSW from Washington University in
St. Louis, and a PhD in Existential and Clinical Psychology from
Union Institute in Cincinnati. I have extensive experience working
with adolescents and families. I also have some expertise, both
personally and professionally in the treatment of substance abuse,
addiction, and alcoholism. I have written a blog expressing some of
my ideas in this area. Check it out if you have a few minutes and feel free to leave your feedback. Psychotherapy, the best I can see, is
idiosyncratic. It is not so much the approach of the therapist, but the
person that therapist is, and how they can make sense of your world
and relate it to you in a manner that is helpful, not hurtful.
