About
Living Well Therapy and Coaching is the counseling practice of David Tolbert, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in private practice in Neptune Beach, FL. David received his Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology in 1994 from the University of North Florida. He was a George Sinclair Academic Scholar at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, PA where he received advanced training in Christian Counseling and biblical studies. In 2013 David was trained by Natal, an Israeli organization devoted to the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder through the Wounded Warrior Project. He currently trains with the Gottman Institute of Seattle, WA and has completed all three levels of training in the Gottman Couples Counseling Method.
In addition to seeing clients in his practice, David also works with post – 9/11 combat veterans and their caregivers for the Wounded Warrior Project. He served as the program director at an outpatient facility for a major hospital chain providing treatment for chemical dependency and other mental health issues. He has worked in various settings including psychiatric hospitals, churches, nursing homes, and a corporate EAP. While living in Philadelphia, David spent two years at Harvest USA, a Christian counseling ministry to men and women with sexual addictions. He also served on staff in the counseling ministry at his church, New Life of Dresher, PA – hence the name, “New Life Counseling.”
David’s areas of expertise include marriage counseling, trauma recovery, blended family issues, addictions (substance abuse and sexual), adult ADHD, anxiety and depression. He teaches seminars on counseling-related topics in local churches including “How People Change” and “Helping People Change,” and he is frequently asked to speak at retreats and conferences on a variety of subjects.
David is married to Leeza and they have a blended family of seven children. When he's not counseling Dave is probably in his backyard cooking a large hunk of meat low and slow or shooting Sporting Clays.

Why I Became a Professional Christian Therapist
CS Lewis said, "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." I love that quote - Christianity is not an appendage to my counsel, my entire worldview is shaped by Scripture, and therefore determines how I understand who we are, what goes wrong with us, what we can aspire to, and how to get there.
