Amara Gore, MBA, LCSW

I specialize in providing wellness services to teens and adults managing anxiety, depression, and stress related to military life. With over nine years of experience in the mental health field, I am dedicated to guiding individuals through life’s challenges with empathy and expertise.

Having grown up as a military child, I understand the complexities of frequent relocations. I’ve called Fayetteville, NC home for over 20 years, where my mother retired from Ft. Bragg. I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology from Fayetteville State University in 2013, an MBA with a concentration in Human Resource Management from Argosy University in 2018, and a Master’s in Social Work with a focus on Mental Health & Substance Abuse from Fayetteville State University in 2021.

My extensive experience includes roles as a psychometric assistant and psychology technician, working with both civilians and military personnel. At the Haymount Institute for Psychological Services in Fayetteville, I conducted assessments for conditions such as ADHD, PTSD, anger issues, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. My role at Ft. Bragg involved Assessment and Selection for Special Forces, Civil Affairs, and Psychological Operations. During my Master’s program, I completed internships at Connections of Cumberland County, providing case management for at-risk families, and at a private practice in Raeford, where I gained hands-on counseling experience.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, solving puzzles, and relaxing with my American Bully, Rocco, and my tabby cat, Deuce.

I am open to seeing clients ages 13 and up.

Faith-based therapy available upon request.
