About David Thomas

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!

“Very kind and understanding”

“He is very calm and he listens to both sides before Intervening.”

“Dave has been nothing but a blessing to me and my wife. When we saw his profile that he'd been married 50 years we knew that's who we wanted to talk to about our relationship. He has a great balance of counseling and Biblical advice ,application and accountability. He listens to both sides very well and advises both sides. If you are looking for a counselor that is Biblically centered in their approach to counseling that doesn't just do it because that is your preference but because he also believes, Dave will be a great fit. We don't just look at him like a counselor but as an elder brother in the Faith.”
