David Drapkin, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Teaneck NJ
In therapy, I take a collaborative and empowering approach—working with clients as partners on their journey. Grounded in curiosity and a harm reduction philosophy, I offer holistic assessments tailored to each person's needs, whether short-term support or deeper, long-term work. I specialize in psychedelic use and integration, combining clinical expertise with transpersonal frameworks that honor ceremony, altered states, and rites of passage. My work helps clients make meaning of profound experiences, navigate challenges, and access lasting transformation. Together, we create a space for healing that is grounded, respectful, and alive to the full complexity of your inner world.
As a psychodynamic therapist I utilise a variety of tools and techniques that I've been trained in. With foundations in CBT and psychoanalysis, and a strong leaning towards somatic-informed mindfulness-based approaches. I support clients with depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD. I also specialise in psychedelic harm reduction and integration.
