Professional statement

With nearly 20 years of experience in the wellness field—including 15 years dedicated to physical therapy and fitness training—David Poland, LMHC, helps adults make lasting, meaningful changes to their mental and physical well-being. His clients typically seek support to overcome anxiety, depression, and trauma, while simultaneously striving to improve their physical fitness, health, and energy levels. Whether you are looking to build mental resilience, increase physical confidence, or break through a plateau affecting both body and mind, David partners with individuals who want to take an active role in living a stronger, more balanced life.

At Better Health Pro, David's integrated approach bridges the vital gap between mind and body. Recognizing that physical and mental health are deeply interconnected, he goes beyond traditional talk therapy by combining mental health counseling with foundational physical wellness principles. His style is tailored and accountability-driven, featuring individualized counseling, regular progress check-ins, and out-of-session messaging. By addressing emotional challenges alongside physical vitality, David empowers clients to achieve true harmony and long-term growth.

David brings a rare, multifaceted skill set to his practice. He holds a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health, a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training, and an Associate's degree in Physical Therapy. As both a licensed psychotherapist and an experienced fitness trainer, he is uniquely equipped to design dynamic programs that nurture his clients' physical and emotional well-being simultaneously.

Better Health Pro is located in Barrington, Rhode Island. To ensure flexible care, David is licensed across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, offering both in-person and secure telehealth sessions. His services are covered by most major insurances in RI, MA, and NH. He is currently accepting new clients and offers a complimentary 15-minute consultation to ensure his comprehensive approach is the right fit for your goals.

Message to clients

My greatest hope for you is that you achieve true vitality—feeling strong, resilient, and confident in both your mind and body. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but I want to reassure you that you are making a powerful choice for your overall well-being. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling physically and emotionally stuck, my goal is to help you build a life where you thrive, rather than just survive.

Before we begin, I want you to know that my approach is a bit different from traditional talk therapy. Because I deeply integrate mental health counseling with physical wellness principles, our work together will be active, goal-oriented, and highly collaborative. You can expect an accountability-driven partnership where we set tangible goals, explore how your physical habits impact your emotional health, and maintain momentum between our sessions.

To provide this level of comprehensive, ongoing support, my practice operates on a membership-based model. This structure allows us to move beyond the traditional 50-minute hour, ensuring you have consistent access to the tools, regular progress check-ins, and out-of-session messaging required for holistic growth. The great news is that your insurance may cover a majority of these membership costs. If you are ready to take an active role in your healing and break through your plateaus, I am incredibly excited to get to work with you.

Therapist's note

At Better Health Pro, my goal is to provide support extending far beyond traditional once-a-week therapy. My membership model allows me to limit my caseload and dedicate more time to your holistic journey.

Your insurance can still be utilized for the clinical psychotherapy portion of our work, often covering a large portion of costs. The membership fee covers premium services like guided app exercises and unlimited asynchronous messaging.

I offer two pathways:

Therapy & Fitness Training ($499/mo): Two 60-min mental health sessions, app support exercises, unlimited asynchronous therapist messaging, plus a customized fitness program with progress tracking and trainer messaging.

Mental Health Therapy (standard therapy rate plus $99/mo): At least two 60-min sessions per month, app support exercises, and unlimited asynchronous therapist messaging.

This ensures premium care while maximizing your benefits.
