A Journey of Self-Discovery and Compassionate Service: Amar Davé's Story

At the Sai Kripalu Foundation, we believe in the inherent dignity and potential within every individual. We are moved by stories of transformation, where seeds of compassion blossom into impactful service. Amar Davé's journey is a testament to this belief.

Amar, now the Executive Director, Founder, Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and University Supervisor at Apogee Counseling Center, PLLC, embarked on his path with a quiet spirit. He describes himself as a "shy, timid, and reluctant" young boy when he first arrived at a pivotal point in his education. His journey was not always easy, but it was a journey of profound self-discovery.

Embracing Individuality and Finding One's Voice

Amar's experience highlights the importance of nurturing individuality. He was given the space to find his own path, a path embraced by a supportive community. He realized that each person's journey is unique, yet bound by shared values. This realization empowered him to take ownership of his development and embrace his authentic self.

Through the guidance of dedicated educators, Amar discovered his voice, learned to advocate for himself, and cultivated self-love. These are the very qualities that enable him to extend compassion and healing to others today.

A Transformative Experience Abroad

A pivotal moment in Amar's journey was an exchange program in the United Kingdom. This experience broadened his horizons, fostered independent thinking, and encouraged him to question the world around him. It was in this supportive environment that he honed his skills and developed a deep sense of accountability.

From Self-Discovery to Service

Amar's story is a powerful reminder that personal growth and compassionate service are intertwined. His journey of self-discovery has equipped him to guide others on their own paths to healing and well-being. At the Sai Kripalu Foundation, we are inspired by individuals like Amar, who embody the spirit of compassion and dedicate their lives to uplifting humanity.

Amar's dedication to mental health counseling reflects the values we hold dear: empathy, understanding, and a commitment to fostering human dignity. His work at Apogee Counseling Center is a beacon of hope for those seeking healing and transformation.

We celebrate Amar's journey and the positive impact he is making in the world. His story reminds us that with support, encouragement, and a belief in oneself, anything is possible.
