About

Hi, I'm Dave Juncos, a 2014 graduate of La Salle's PsyD in Clinical Psychology program. I conduct research on the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for music performance anxiety (MPA). It's a true passion of mine working with musicians either in individual therapy or through consultation with music colleges. Please scroll down to my Publications section to read about my research projects. Additionally, I work as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist for Hopewell Springs Counseling Center, in Marlton, NJ, where I treat adults and teenagers with a variety of mental health problems. I'm also on faculty with the Voice Workshop UK, within their MA programs in Voice Pedagogy and Performance Coaching for Performing Artists.
