About me

Hello! My name is David DeNavarra. I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in Florida with over 13 years of experience. I have a Master of Science in degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Counseling from the University of Akron. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, mood stabilization, relationship issues, spiritual/existential difficulties, parenting problems, behavioral issues, anger issues, career challenges, personality disorders, codependency, severe and persistent mental illnesses, life changes, addictions, and trauma histories. I have extensive experience working with individuals as well as families/youth.
My therapy style is warm and interactive, treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, while empowering the individual to make goals and changes consistent with his/her/their own internal values. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, borrowing from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, systemic, rational-emotive, solution-focused, and trauma-informed therapies. I customize treatment and approach to meet your unique and specific needs.
Seeking treatment is daunting. It requires a great deal of courage to change your life and seek a happier, more meaningful life. My job is to support and empower you through a collaborative partnership. I look forward to working with you!

David is amazing!!
He really listens and gives me
the proper feedback and tools needed to better myself. He seeks to understand my belief systems and helps me identify and work thru any blockages and struggles along the way. I appreciate knowing he is invested in my well being and he's shown me this by checking in with me when I get quiet. Also, when I've had a hard day I've reached out and he's responded sincerely with empathy and understanding. It's nice to have support on my healing journey. Thank you David!!

David is great. I've been seeing him for a few months now, and he really gets to it. He really makes me think about my feelings and why Im feeling a certain way. He's the first therapist I've had in years that I feel really understands me and my issues, and is really helping me to get better.

An incredibly understanding therapist with the skill and patience to address and resolve many of the issues I had with my anxiety. David knows how to set the tone to a multitude of different settings so he can best help you. Be it a welcoming listening environment, a proactive and constructive mindset, or breaking down difficult to grasp concepts. I highly recommend David to anyone that feels apprehensive or intimidated by other therapists like I was.
