Clear teaching
Understand the relationship patterns that keep pulling you off course.
About David Flowers, LPC
Practical help from someone who takes the work seriously.
I bring decades of counseling, teaching, and clinical supervision to couples who are ready to understand what is happening and work toward change.
DAVID FLOWERS, LPCA therapist who teaches
Real insight is only useful when you can take it into the rest of your week.
For more than 30 years, I have helped people meet pain honestly, learn from it, and do the work that moves them forward. My approach to couples therapy is direct, compassionate, and grounded in practical skills.
Every session is built to give you something useful to carry beyond the conversation.
I meet with clients online across Michigan.

Professional perspectives
How colleagues and collaborators describe my work.
“My favorite parts about Dave are that he’s a vulnerable, critical thinker with a growth mindset and a deep love for humanity. He epitomizes what it means to look inward, question the systems and beliefs that we grew up with, and challenge ourselves when information illustrates that change is warranted.”
“David’s presentation was very practical and engaging to our resident and faculty group. He provided meaningful techniques and strategies to support well-being and mindfulness in our work and care of both patients and ourselves. He captured our attention and was both motivating and dynamic in his presentation style. I recommend him for anyone looking for a speaker to support well-being activities.”
“While I only know David as a coworker, not as a patient, I recommend him because he is easy to talk to, thoughtful, and passionate about what he does. He strikes me as a person who goes the extra mile, gives of himself, and never makes you feel like you’re bothering him.”
“David is an outstanding couples therapist. He has all the knowledge needed to help couples who want their relationships to work, and then some. His sincerity and flexibility make him a great fit to work with most people.”
“I have known David for several years, first in one professional setting, and now as my clinical supervisor. I have found him to be profound, compassionate, and to have a deep understanding of human need. I recommend David wholeheartedly.”
