Professional statement

David (Duvi) Stahler, MHC-LP, works with individuals and couples navigating relationships, identity, and emotional challenges. His practice draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), parts work, and attachment theory to help clients build stronger emotional connections, develop insight, and shift unhelpful patterns.

Duvi has a particular interest in working with clients from the LGBTQ+ community, those balancing tradition and individuality, and professionals navigating stress, success, and self-worth. Before becoming a therapist, he spent years working in the corporate and nonprofit sectors and holds an MBA from NYU Stern. That background gives him a grounded, practical lens—especially useful for clients seeking clarity in both personal and professional domains.

Clients appreciate Duvi’s thoughtful, down-to-earth approach. He meets people where they are, offering warmth, curiosity, and gentle challenge. Whether clients are navigating dating, deepening a long-term relationship, or feeling stuck in old patterns, Duvi helps them untangle what’s getting in the way so they can move forward with greater confidence and connection.

Duvi sees clients in person in Columbus Circle and virtually throughout New York State. He practices under the supervision of Michael Moran, LCSW, CST-S, at the Center for Relational Fulfillment.


Message to clients

Starting therapy is a big step, and I know it can bring up all sorts of questions like “Will this actually help?” or “Is this person going to get me?” My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should feel like a real relationship—one where you feel supported, seen, and gently challenged.

Whether you’re coming in as an individual or with a partner, my goal is to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and your emotional world — so that change becomes possible. Therapy isn’t always easy, but it can be transformative. And I’ll be with you each step of the way.
