Dave Moorthy, Masters in Psychology, MPhil in Clinical Psych
Dave Moorthy helps adults and seniors in Georgia navigate emotional distress, life transitions, and complex mental health challenges through structured, compassionate psychotherapy. At LifeStance Health, he provides individualized therapy for adults and older adults seeking relief from anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns, using a steady, supportive approach grounded in clinical experience and respect for each person’s goals. He serves patients across Georgia who are looking for consistent, high-quality mental health care delivered with clarity and professionalism. A particular focus of Dave’s work is supporting individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. He understands that the transition from inpatient care to everyday life can feel uncertain and overwhelming. His outpatient therapy emphasizes stabilization, coping strategies, and continuity of care, helping patients regain a sense of safety, rebuild routines, and reduce the risk of relapse while moving forward with confidence. Dave’s clinical interests include anxiety disorders, depression, and PTSD/trauma, and he offers additional areas of support beyond these concerns. He provides individual therapy using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailoring treatment to each patient’s needs and strengths. He also offers psychological testing when clinically appropriate. Dave has experience working with adults with developmental disabilities and brings an informed, patient-centered perspective to care. He has been practicing since 1985 and is known for blending thoughtful clinical structure with mindfulness and practical skill-building. Outside of his work, Dave enjoys spending time with his two kittens, listening to music, reading, practicing yoga, and taking reflective drives in nature. Dave Moorthy provides individual therapy services through LifeStance Health for adults and seniors throughout Georgia.
