David Murphy, PhD

Licensed Psychologist

[ he/him/his ]

What do you most look forward to about the work you do?

I enjoy helping people find answers to the questions they bring in and equipping them with language to better describe their strengths and challenges.

What do you most value about the work you do?

I most value instilling hope and encouraging people through the challenges they come in with.

What is something clients might never guess about you?

I love hiking and mountain climbing!

What did you want to be when you grew up?

I thought about becoming an archaeologist. After multiple landscaping jobs outside, I realized I preferred working indoors.

I am a licensed psychologist working out of Fort Collins, Colorado. I graduated from Florida State University with a PhD in Counseling Psychology and School Psychology. My clinical experience has developed from working in multiple university counseling centers, university career centers and an inpatient hospital. I am originally from Tennessee and moved to Colorado for my Master's in Counseling and Career Development. During my recent work at UC Davis I gained additional expertise and experience working with neurodivergent clients (ASD, ADHD, etc.) through both individual and group therapy. I am passionate about helping clients gain insights into their strengths and challenges while helping them plan how to use these insights to move forward.
