I am Dr. David Alter, a clinical health psychologist. I conduct my patient practice in Minnetonka, MN and my Clinician trainings virtually, all around the world.

My course material is grounded in my 30+ years of experience working with adults and couples facing challenges like depression, anxiety, post-traumatic struggles, and the loss of emotional and sexual intimacy/sexual functioning, as well as physical challenges like digestive difficulties (Irritable Bowel) or causes of on-going pain (migraine/headache).

My background and experience have taught me how mind and body interact to have a positive impact on your health. 

My study of the brain and its connections to our daily activities has taught me how to put the brain’s amazing capacity to “re-wire” itself to work for you so your brain supports your most important and cherished life goals.

My three decades of active practice have immersed me in how to help you transform struggle into courage, fear into opportunity, and doubt into open-minded curiosity about the possibilities that lie ahead on your journey to vibrant living and vital aging.

I also lead workshops and retreats for health professionals and general audiences, offer Consulting Groups for therapists trained in clinical hypnosis, am available as a speaker and am also an active trainer of health professionals nationally.
