David Amar

Mental Health Therapist

When we can’t control the winds that blow, we can always adjust our sails. As Bertha Calloway reminds us, while life may not always go as planned, we can choose how we respond. My passion is helping people navigate life’s challenges with hope, resilience, and purpose. Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, or major life transitions, I provide a supportive, compassionate space where healing and growth can begin. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Monmouth University and a Master of Arts in Education. Drawing on years of experience in mental health counseling, education, and pastoral counseling, I offer a practical, compassionate approach that respects your unique story, values, and goals. You don’t have to navigate life’s storms alone. Together, we can help you regain confidence, find direction, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

My approach to therapy is personalized because no two people experience life the same way. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Narrative Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. For couples, I utilize brief, goal-oriented counseling that focuses on strengthening communication, rebuilding trust, resolving conflict, and creating practical strategies for lasting change. Rather than relying on a single method, I tailor each session to your unique needs, helping you develop effective coping skills, gain new perspectives, and build on your existing strengths so you can move forward with greater confidence and purpose.
