Paul brings lived experience and continuing education to D’Amore after working for the last several years in child and adolescent behavioral and mental health. After completing his addiction studies and a bachelor’s degree in Human Services, he recently obtained his master’s degree in clinical psychology at Vanguard University and is working towards licensure for Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Clinical Counseling. Paul combines personal insights from his own experience and past challenges in the recovery process with skills he has learned from working with some of the county’s highest need populations. This combination provides him with a unique ability to connect on a meaningful level with others looking for hope in their current struggle.

Paul has dedicated himself to helping others with a commitment to effect change for those who feel change is impossible, and provide hope for those who feel hopeless. Believing that “every experience I’ve ever had has led me right here to this very moment, to do everything I was meant to do in this life of mine”, he continues to work toward being a better version of himself every day while he helps others become a better version of themselves.
