Let’s be honest: You don’t really want a therapist who will just sit there and ask, “…and how does that make you feel?” You want someone who will finally help you move beyond the basics to become the best version of yourself. Someone who will guide, challenge, and show you the skills you need to propel yourself forward.

About Dave Lechnyr
I come from a multi-generational family of psychologists and therapists and have grown up in this environment all my life and “breathed the air” of psychology, so to speak. This experience has taught me that the hardest part of change for anyone is in getting to know yourself and to face the true fears that keep you awake at night. I’m also a Certified Gottman Therapist as well. If I can help make a difference in your life, I would be very glad to work with you.
My Approach to Therapy
I enjoy helping people thrive in their relationships by reconnecting with what they have lost in each other. As a Eugene-based therapist, I provide both in-person and virtual counseling across Oregon and Arizona. I believing every relationship in crisis faces a fundamental choice – we can let our challenges destroy everything we’ve worked for, or find a better way to communicate with each other, manage conflict, and grow closer again. This transformative healing journey is remarkable to witness, and I am always impressed by the motivation of my clients towards change.
