David Cancilla
Hello, I’m David Cancilla, LCSW, with thirty years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe every issue, no matter how complex, can be resolved. I specialize in treating Adjustment Disorders, anxiety, trauma, anger management, life transitions, dual diagnosis, and depression using effective evidence-based treatments. I also bring substantial expertise in PTSD therapy gained from my experience working closely with individuals who have served in active combat roles.
I have extensive experience guiding individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of challenges. This includes navigating complex family dynamics, fostering healthier parent-child interactions, improving communication within relationships, and facilitating effective stress reduction techniques. Additionally, I specialize in supporting individuals and families in adjusting to the unique demands and transitions associated with military lifestyles.
Growth often accompanies challenges as we navigate the potential for new forms. Through perseverance, these challenges can lead to great success. Starting therapy may seem daunting, but as sessions progress, many clients eagerly anticipate them. Some challenges can be managed independently, while others benefit from the support of a compassionate guide.
When facing new beginnings, uncertainties may arise, yet within each difficulty lies its solution. My approach is to tailor methods to align with your unique needs, fostering effective outcomes. I look forward to meeting you and embarking on this journey together. You can find me accepting patients at the South Hills office, dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and overcome obstacles.
Education and Experience
I graduated from Eastern Virginia Medical School and Norfolk State University. I’ve provided mental health services to soldiers and their families, conducting comprehensive psychosocial assessments and interventions to determine appropriate treatment plans. I utilize evidence-based treatments and continually adapt methods to address client needs effectively.
