David Beirne, LCPC, believes that meaningful change begins when people are genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. He works alongside clients to make sense of painful experiences, understand the patterns that keep them feeling stuck, and develop practical tools that foster lasting growth.
David specializes in working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, executive functioning challenges, and significant life transitions. Whether someone is processing the effects of trauma, struggling with the impact of past experiences, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, or unsure of where to begin, David helps clients better understand themselves, make sense of their experiences, and develop practical tools for lasting change.
His therapeutic approach is grounded in neuroscience-informed, evidence-based care. David is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and has completed Levels 1–3 training in Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), including the Sudden Sound Protocol (S2). These approaches help clients work with the nervous system’s deepest responses to trauma and overwhelming experiences, creating opportunities for healing that extend beyond insight and symptom management. He integrates these modalities with curiosity, compassion, and collaboration, creating a therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe enough to explore difficult experiences while moving toward greater freedom, resilience, and wholeness.
As a Christian counselor, David believes that Jesus is deeply invested in the work of healing and restoration. His faith shapes the way he approaches counseling with humility, hope, compassion, and the conviction that every person is created with inherent dignity and worth. He is committed to providing clinically excellent care while thoughtfully integrating Christian faith into the therapeutic process, helping clients pursue emotional, relational, and spiritual healing.
David earned a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. He also holds a Master of Arts in Biblical and Theological Studies and a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Studies (Biblical Exposition) from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.
David is licensed as a professional counselor in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Virginia. He provides in-person and telehealth counseling to clients in Illinois and telehealth counseling to clients throughout Wisconsin and Virginia.
Outside the counseling office, David enjoys reading, researching, and teaching. He and his wife serve as small group leaders at The Hope Collective. Whether in the counseling room or the church, David is passionate about helping people grow in wisdom, healing, and hope.
