David and his entire team have been wonderful since day one. Scheduling was easy, they made the entire process seamless. We, my partner and I, have been seeing David for the past year and it has helped our relationship tremendously. The communicative tools he teaches you help you better understand how to hear what your partner is saying. He also teaches you how to better understand your feelings, which in turn improves your relationship with your partner. We saw three other specialist before finding David. If you are apprehensive you shouldn't be, David genuinely cares. Highly recommend.

I was referred to David, when my romantic relationship had reached the "this is our last hope" point. At the session, I connected with David immediately. I have had other "coaches" in my life, who literally took years to even scratch the surface of what David was able to hone in on in the very first session. David is understanding and compassionate, yet not afraid to tell it like it is. He has an intuitive nature, and is an excellent "reader" of people. He seems to know what you need to hear (whether complimentary, or not!), and how it needs to be said, in order to reach a person in the most productive

I first started going to David years ago during marriage difficulties. Without going into detail, suffice it to say that David and his techniques have been positively life-altering.
He has a lot of hard-won insight and he is able to really show you and your spouse a way to connect and understand each other.
On a personal level, his thoughtfulness and willingness to confront me on my own failings that I wasn't even are of were the key to MASSIVE personal growth. I see the world around me in a different light now. That is in large part to Dave showing me the way.

Amazing. Just go. I promise we went from verge of divorce to complete interest and now on path of reconciliation. That's what we wanted, but, felt like it just wasn't going to work as couldn't really see the problem and thus how to resolve anything. It's such a relief and joy to feel that we have a real viable goal and support to get there!

I would HIGHLY recommend David for ANY sort of coaching. My husband and I have been seeing him for marriage counseling/coaching for about 4 months and he has been AMAZING. He LISTENS and cuts to the heart of the issues and then provides tools/suggestions/tips for ways in which you could address/improve/change. He's not afraid to tell you about yourself, but in a good way :) The first session we had with him I was BLOWN AWAY by how he immediately pinpointed one of our biggest issues. I mean he NAILED my husband and I BOTH...like he had known us for years. Seriously. He's not a therapist

Even in our first coaching sessions, David offered us a life changing perspective. My husband and I were blown away and so many patterns made so much more sense. I was so impressed, I recommended David to a friend. After her appointment today, she called me just blown away with his insight. I am happy to have such a beautiful resource in David. I would totally recommend him for marriage and individual coaching.

David is a ninja. He saved my engagement two months before getting married. I've been in therapy for years, and I've done couples therapy before during my previous marriage. My second husband and I have been very happily married for a year and a half, and I'm so grateful to David for what he did for us. I highly recommend him as the best therapist I've ever worked with. He had us pegged from day one, and every session was a tremendous therapeutic learning experience.

I’ve been working with David for the past several years and have experienced incredible improvements in my relationships, my career, but most importantly, my overall quality of life and happiness. I’ve never worked with anyone with his ability to truly get to the source of my challenges and conflicts and provide practical insight and solutions. This has led to meaningful and lasting change and I’d strongly recommend David to anyone looking for life coaching.

David Cantu is a straight forward, supportive therapist who gets to the heart of the issue by providing insight to initiate understanding and growth. Starting therapy was scary for me because I did not want to let down my walls and honestly, the other people I’ve talked with in the past were not really helping. My first visit with David had me feeling like we hit a root of an issue. Therefore, after one session, I was able to leave his office knowing part of me better and having a sense of resolve in part of the puzzle. David made me feel at total ease. His office is relaxed, inviting and has

I have been (with my partner) to two of David's workshops and one private session. Each time I was impressed with how accurately he could zoom in on the problems in our relationship, or other issues we came to address. He is very insightful.
He is also very helpful. While being confronted with your failings is never fun, David (and his partner Carrie) are on the whole very constructive (and gentle) in how they deal with people and what they tell you.
Very much recommended.

We were awkwardly greeted (David never formally introduced himself), we were asked to fill out an evaluation and waited about 15 min past our scheduled appt time before starting. In that time he never checked in with us or apologized for any delays. We didn't mind the home environment, as we run a business out of our home as well, but did find some behaviors strange. David was VERY casual and had a strange demeanor. I was told multiple times "no, that's wrong" and how what I was saying wasn't the point. I was asked pointed questions until I gave the answer he was looking

David Cantu is an extremely insightful life coach. I am always amazed at how quickly he can see what's at the root of my dilemmas. He has a great bedside manner and he does a great job of asking the right questions in the right way and at the right time. And I'm always impressed at how he can tell when his questions need to be a little more gentle and when he needs to cut to the chase. I highly recommend him and anyone at Life Coach Austin.

My husband and I had a very positive experience meeting with David for marriage counseling. In a few short months, we have turned our marriage around and gained tools for lifelong marriage and self-improvement.
In short, David is a great listener and a clear, thoughtful speaker. He obviously has tremendous experience coaching individuals and couples and working on his own growth. He is mindful, funny and humble. His special skill is distilling all of the "noise" of a troubled marriage into concepts that can then be worked upon.

David is great! My fiancé and I went to do a set of pre-marital counseling sessions with him and he did wonderfully at helping us identify potential conflict areas and guiding us in how to deal with them in the future. He knows how to tease out the underlying issues and presenting them in a concrete way that helps people confront them and improve. While he will boldly point out obvious issues in the relationship, he is non-judgmental and genuinely interested in ensuring the success of your relationship. He is there to help you figure out how your own view of things is affecting others, and how

I cannot say enough good things about David! I mean, he has blown me away! The first meeting with him was scheduled by my boyfriend in Sept 2015 from a random Google search. Healing a broken relationship is not easy work. It is very hard and takes lots of practice. With David as a mentor, he takes great effort in making sure we understand what he is telling us. He listens intently and is very mindful about how he responds to what he hears.

I was David's 1st life coach client back 16 years ago. He helped me see what was getting between me and having a relationship. I would role play with his assistant and he would give me feedback. He helped me as I was cultivating a relationship so I could determine if this was a match for me. I've have a wonderful marriage for the past 14 years. I found that working on my relationship skills spilled over to other areas of my life such as my friendships and business relationships.

I've had the great honor of knowing David for several years. He a gentle yet powerful healer. I've gone to his workshops led, by both David and Carrie, and am amazed at the depths they brings out in people....tears flow, compassion unfolds, healing happens. When I see him one-to-one I've always had his complete, undivided attention and leave feeling heard and pointed in the right direction. I trust him to always give me his best, and even sent my daughter to him. David's got my back!
I love that his office is in his home. It is warm and welcoming, and allows me to speak freely

Found David through Yelp, so it's fitting that we circle back. David's coaching has transformed our family, and his technique of engaging partners on their own issues in the presence of the other is what makes it so different and effective: it's the key to repairing trust and building deep understanding -- grasping what's really been going on. He practices what he preaches, as actively engaged in his own growth as he is with ours. Try a workshop with David and Carrie to experience the magnitude of change that can happen in a few hours in the hands of such skilled and intuitive

David and Carrie are both such amazing people. It would be impossible not to be changed by them, and become your best with their practices, and education.
I appreciate them both in so many different ways. They are beautiful people, with amazing intentions, and a world of knowledge you couldn't get from a book.
Expect to change the way you look at things, forever. Life will be easier, more fun, and higher quality.
I think it's important to mention, they have you pay on a sliding scale based on your income. This makes it affordable for everyone. You also meet in a comfortable home

My wife and I have been seeing David and Carrie as a couple for about eight months. We went in initially because of difficulties that we were having within our marriage in managing conflict. We had reached a point after 16 years that the smallest thing would cause a major escalation and we were wondering if we could get through it.
I won't over-promise and say that counseling fixed things overnight, but I can attest that after six months we were in such a different place that we now don't even discuss conflict in our marriage and we have expanded our discussions to trying to improve
