Paula D’Amore, LCSW

Paula D’Amore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee and Florida who supports adults and parents who are ready to make meaningful changes in their lives. She has experience helping clients strengthen self-care, manage stress and anxiety, navigate addictions, process grief and loss, and work through parenting concerns.

Her style is warm, interactive, and grounded in a genuine, down-to-earth connection. Paula tailors sessions and the overall treatment plan to the individual, focusing on what fits best for each person’s needs and goals. She encourages clients to stay curious and practical throughout therapy - trying strategies, keeping what helps, and setting aside what does not. With a strong emphasis on respect and compassion, she aims to treat people the way she would want to be treated, and she keeps a small caseload so she can offer dedicated attention and care.

Paula also highlights self-awareness and mindfulness as key building blocks for change. By learning to notice patterns in thoughts, emotions, and reactions, clients can better understand themselves and respond more intentionally in everyday situations. She believes the relationship a person has with themselves matters deeply, and that caring for emotional and mental wellbeing is just as important as supporting physical health. She typically checks messages a few times per day Monday through Friday and responds as quickly as possible, while appreciating patience when she is attending to other responsibilities.
