About Dr. David Cueto
Child Psychologist, Adolescent Psychologist, Sammamish, Washington, or Secure Video Telehealth throughout Washington State
Professional Journey
My path to becoming a psychologist was shaped by the strength and resilience I saw in the community around me. Growing up, I witnessed families facing real challenges with limited access to resources. Itwas through these early experiences that I began to understand how powerful it can be when someone shows up with compassion and consistency. Whether through my time in martial arts or early volunteer work, I saw how connection and encouragement could help people feel supported and move forward.
This sense of purpose led me to pursue a Doctor of Psychology degree in Clinical Psychology, with a focus on working with children, adolescents, and families. I have provided therapy and psychological assessment in public schools, community health centers, and private settings. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and I work to create a space where individuals and families feel heard, respected, and empowered.
Clinical Approach
I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My approach includes cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, play-based techniques, and culturally responsive care. I support clients in building self-awareness, strengthening communication, and learning healthy ways to manage challenges.
Many of the families I work with are navigating stress, disconnection, or uncertainty. I aim to help them build stronger relationships and feel more confident in their ability to cope, connect, and thrive.
Client Focus
I work with children, teens, and families who are facing behavioral challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, anxiety, attention, and executive functioning concerns, and school-related stress. I also offer psychological evaluations to help guide treatment and support academic planning.
Personal Interests
When I am not working, I love to travel with my partner. We try to experience each place through the eyes of locals, sharing moments over meals and conversations, and learning from the stories of others. I also stay close to my younger brother and cousins through video games and friendly fantasy sports competitions, even though my detailed spreadsheets never seem to help me win. I value curiosity, connection, and moments of shared joy.
