Dr David Thornton
Integrative Psychotherapist
“Experienced integrative pastoral therapist works with couples seeking intimacy, survivors of spiritual abuse, attachment and anxiety issues, recovery from narcissistic partners and parents.”
About Me
As an experienced integrative pastoral psychotherapist, I offer a supportive space for individuals and couples. I work with those seeking intimacy, navigating spiritual abuse, or exploring attachment and anxiety. I also support recovery from narcissistic partners and parents. Together, we can sensitively explore your experiences, making sense of their impact and finding new ways forward. My approach offers a gentle yet grounded path to healing and renewed well-being.
Approach
For partners pursuing greater closeness and for those recovering from faith-related wounds, therapy moves at a careful, steady pace that honours safety and curiosity. I offer in-person work in Nashville and secure online sessions in English, French or German, keeping practical steps and spiritual questions side by side. Sessions blend reflective listening, boundary-focused skill practice and short between-session experiments to test new ways of relating and regulating anxious or reactive patterns. This way of working often suits people ready for honest, grounded change.
