Dave Boldebook , LCSW

Dave Boldebook is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who earned a master’s degree in social work from the University of New England in Maine in 1998. Over a twenty-year career he has worked in both community-based and residential settings, supporting people across the lifespan from age five to 95. His practice takes an integrative, holistic view that connects physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of wellbeing and examines how those areas interact in daily life.

His therapeutic style draws on a wide range of modalities, including humanistic and person-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic thinking, and strengths-based or solution-focused strategies. Those influences inform a collaborative, respectful manner that emphasizes authenticity, active listening, empathy, and gentle challenge. Across his years of practice he has distilled core principles - that therapy rests on the relationship, that compassion and encouragement matter, and that leaning into fear and resistance can open possibilities for change.

Boldebook aims to offer a trusting counseling connection where clients can explore patterns that hold them back, develop practical tools and strategies, set achievable goals, and find new routes forward. He brings gratitude, caring, and unconditional positive regard to his work with individuals and families navigating stress, grief, life transitions, and a range of emotional and behavioral concerns.
