About me

From the first breath of life to the last, relationship with others is a living passion. When relating becomes dysfunctional, life is turned inside out and upside down. Through practiced clinical skills, client sensitivity, and compassion born through faith, the therapeutic approach I bring to clients can foster a life-balance of living, loving, and relating once again, or for the first time ever. It can be a difficult task. I am here to help make it easier.

In addition to a normal practice of building healthy relationships and families, I also specialize in working with children and adolescents experiencing trauma and crisis. I also provide Prolonged Exposure Therapy for adults suffering with PTSD resulting from domestic violence, sexual abuse, combat, or first responder situations.
Efficacy of treatment is validated and enhanced in my practice through purposeful utilization of quality assessment tools. These tools help take the guess work out of diagnosis and treatment, and help facilitate a brief therapy approach, reducing therapeutic involvement and investment from months of work to a matter of weeks.

On a personal note, I have been married for 46 years and have two wonderful adult children and two fabulous grandsons! I hold a Master of Church Music degree from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Master of Psychology Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Palm Beach Atlantic University. I have a pet cat named Soxy, who loves me as much as I love her!

David is a great listener and asks questions that are both challenging and eye opening. David checks in every week and makes himself available when needed.

Thank God for David Thomas! I was married to a boarderline personality disorder /narcissist husband this was my second attempt divorcing him after 33 years. I knew he was a narcissist, but I now realized he's been boarderline and narcissist all along. I realized all the things my husband said were all in my head were very true. David is helping me with my marriage trauma and navigating the rough waters of divorcing a bpd/narcissist. He has helped me immensely with my anxiety and working through my emotions. I highly recommend David Thomas!
