About Dr. David Engstrom

My name is Dave and I am a clinical health psychologist with over 30 years of experience in the field.
I received my Ph.D. from the University of Southern California and served my internship at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. I am a Diplomate of the American Board of Professional Psychology.
I currently live in Scottsdale, Arizona (licensed psychologist in Arizona) and am on the Medical Staff at Honor Health Medical Center.
Although my clinical interests are broad, I have special training and experience in psychological aspects of chronic illness, including chronic pain and sleep disorders (especially insomnia). Beyond that, I am experienced in treatment of anxiety, depression and chemical dependency. I use motivational interviewing techniques as well, since we all have difficulty getting and staying motivated to make the changes we know we need!
It would be a pleasure to work with you if you believe my profile would be a good fit for you!

“He is a wonderful therapist and I would highly recommend him.”

“David is great listener and he seems to understand my situation. He definitely is a 10 in my book. Would recommend him to any family and friends.”

“Dr. Engstrom is a wonderful listener and empathetic to your case/cause. He knows how to channel your experience by actualizing the problems and steering how to cope with them. He is great at following up and asking about your health, habits and current events. I am happy with my choice to have him as my therapist.”

“It’s because of my previous experience with Dr Engstrom that I’m returning to BetterHelp. I am grateful to be able to pick up where we left off and talk more. He’s incredible”

“Good advice from Dr Engstrom. Responsive professional.”

“Dr. Engstrom is very knowledgeable and always has great ideas and offers solutions to what we discuss during each session. He provides me with excellent homework (per my request), which has been very helpful during the time while I have been working with him. I would highly recommend him to anyone!”

“Dr. Engstrom is attentive, kind and communicative. He is compassionate and makes the sessions easy to chat and friendly.”

“Dr Engstrom is very helpful and the best one I have”

“I love working with Dr. Engstrom. I’ve been working with him for over two months now. He really listens to what I have to say and how I feel about things and shows sympathy/empathy towards what I’ve been going through. He’s professional and wise, but can really feel down to Earth and just talk to you. He’s helped me gain better control over issues I’ve had and helped me gain confidence in myself to give me my own sense of self-security. I would recommend him as a therapist to anyone seeking help or someone to talk to on this app!”

“He is a really fine therapist”

“I’m pretty happy with Dr. Engstrom and Regain.”

“Doctor Engstrom is an amazing therapist. I Never thought an online therapist would be this helpful but he's all I could ever ask for and more. I don't think my relationship and my life would have had the same outcome if it wasn't for key people like Dr. Engstrom help me.”

“Always helpful and always there to listen when I need him i feel very confident and comfortable win talking to him”

“I think he is awesome. I hope it helps. We have been together 40 years and this is the first time we have had therapy together.”
