Whether you need help overcoming minor stress or major obstacles in your life, therapy can be a safe environment to find new ways of navigating life. In a nonjudgemental and affirming approach, I aim to help you heal your relationship with yourself and with others by processing your past experiences to learn how those experiences impact you in the present. I hope to support you get a clearer understanding of the different parts of yourself and empower you to find new ways to either change, accept, or manage the challenges in you're facing.

Let's build something special! Are you struggling to find balance, tranquility, meaning in your life? You're making it work but juggling everything on your own gets overwhelming. You don't have to do it alone. Allow your relationships to be a place of harmony by bringing your problems to a professional. At Damron Counseling, we are looking to help motivated individuals reach their potential. We can assist you in finding solace during a difficult time, create healthy relationships, reach a goal, and find ways to cope. You cannot give from an empty cup and therefore it's always the right time to put yourself first.

You find yourself constantly avoiding triggers, unable to go certain places or do things that remind you of your unresolved hurt - a lost relationship, childhood abandonment, the death of someone you love dearly. You feel limited and held back by your painful past. You get sucked into self help videos on Tik-Tok looking for a solution and find yourself more sad, more alone, and feeling empty after hours of scrolling. Together we can face the past head on. I guide clients to work through past hurt and do the work to heal. My clients finish therapy confident, emotionally healthy, and free to move forward into a hopeful future.

Do you sometimes feel like you are drowning in your emotions? Does anger, sadness, and fear keep impacting your life in ways you don't want it to? Do you struggle with thoughts of self-harm, of not being good enough, or feeling like you are empty inside? Do you struggle with feelings of extreme anger and do you sometimes "erupt"? Or does your child struggle with intense "temper tantrums", self-harming behavior, or suicidal behaviors? Or does your loved one struggle with these things and it's negatively impacted YOUR life and you just don't know how to cope anymore?

As Forrest Gump's mother once said, "You've gotta put the past behind you before you can move on." While this idea sounds somewhat simple, putting the past behind us; especially a traumatic one, can be easier said than done. In my work with individuals, I embrace a philosophy that helps people explore their past experiences in order to better understand their present day ones. Additionally, because I believe God to be the source of all things; healing and hope included, I will utilize a faith-based approach in session if desired by prospective clients.

Healing is a process that begins with your decision to act. You do not have to be in pain alone. I am a Licensed Counselor and EMDR Certified with over 25 years of experience with a broad range of concerns and can guide and support your journey through skilled, evidenced-based techniques. I am a compassionate listener and my main goal is to help you find your solid center and emotional regulation and balance. I am intuitively skilled at successfully cutting through confusing dynamics and reactivity to identify core issues that haven't been resolved through other therapies.

I am a Seminary trained clinical therapist. I am also a combat veteran and have experience serving in ministry abroad. I have a prior career before becoming a therapist, working about 12 years overseas. I have worked successfully with adult's from many backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and religious faith's. I have experience working with clients struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, and bi-polar to name a few.

We can’t always control the road we find ourselves on, or the obstacles along it; but you don’t have to walk that road alone or unaided. I will work collaboratively alongside you to address and navigate around whatever challenge you may be facing using my expertise as a mental health professional and your expertise in your own life. I firmly believe there is hope for a way forward, and that we can find it together. I value your personal beliefs and their influence on your life experiences, coping and development of meaning. A faith-based approach is available for those who wish it, but only at your request.

Are you deep in the trenches of grief? Does it feel like the fog will never lift? You cannot imagine going on without the person you've lost. Life will never be the same. How could it be? I am here to provide support as you navigate the road after losing someone you love. Reaching out for help is difficult and it is the first step towards the healing you are capable of. I strive to maintain a comfortable space for clients to work through their loss. My style is warm and genuine and I believe everyone deserves a safe environment to process what they are experiencing.

I am a psychologist with over 30 years of experience doing therapy and psychological assessment with a wide variety of clients. I especially enjoy working with couples who are seeking to improve communication and intimacy in their relationship, and with adult women who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.

We are a collective of healing practitioners committed to working together to help individuals, families, and systems affected by trauma. We understand the benefit of integrating body, mind, and emotions for healing. We are excited to provide a wholistic environment for our clients. We have more than a decade of specialized trauma-informed experience working with clients of all ages from varied backgrounds and cultures. Much of that time has been working with survivors of sexual assault, sexual abuse, domestic abuse, developmental trauma, attachment trauma, racial trauma, and spiritual abuse. We are LGBTQ+ friendly and accepting.

I specialize in working with individuals who are looking to do deep inner work & who have been to traditional therapy before, but have come to an impasse. For those clients who have talked it all out, but continue to suffer, I offer an alternative approach. Many individuals whom I have had the privilege to walk with on their healing journey were facing things like depression, anxiety, life transitions, chronic pain, parenting difficulties & trauma. I am trained in EMDR, TRE & use these with clients as part of a wholistic approach. My intent is to provide a safe and non-threatening space to explore and release difficult histories.

Therapy should provide a safe, nonjudgmental relationship through which to explore those parts of you that may make you feel ashamed or afraid, to develop meaningful insights, and to discover your strengths. I have extensive experience working with people seeking to overcome traumatic life events - sexual violations, abuse, neglect, extreme acts of violence - but have found that, in the end, it can sometimes be the seemingly small, overlooked wounds that take longest to heal. No matter how stuck and hopeless you may feel, you have the power to take control and embrace the person you'd like to be.

Seeking help takes courage. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I work with individuals, couples, and families who are interested in addressing the various emotional challenges of life. I believe everyone is capable of growth, change, and healing, and it is important to have a safe, confidential, therapeutic environment in which to work through your concerns.

Hello! And Welcome. We would be a good fit if you are interested in exploring the impact of past experiences on your here and now responses of body sensations, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors through a mind-body approach. My areas of clinical focus are: 1).Complex Trauma and resulting Panic/Anxiety, Mood Disorders, Dysfunctional Coping, and Chronic Illness. 2).Loss of control when eating in adults and adolescents including Binge Eating Disorder, Bulimia, and Emotional Eating. 3). LGBTQ+ including gender affirming transitions 4). Addiction Recovery and Chronic Relapses 5). Fertility Issues and PCOS.

I'm drawn to those who've faced life's unfair blows, carrying the weight of trauma. It's not about fixing; they're not broken. Their needs center around shedding the burden of feeling defective due to past experiences. Together, we navigate their history, aiming not to erase but to transform. The goal is a fresh perspective, a chance to unshackle from the past, and embrace a new lease on life—a journey filled with compassion, understanding, and authentic growth.

I have extensive experience with mood disorders, trauma and addictions and work with all ages. I am trained in EMDR and use that technique with both children and adults if appropriate. My clients often state when they first spoke to me they felt immediately at ease and did not feel judged. I am able to assist my clients in seeing patterns in their life story and work to identify and change core beliefs such as "I'm not good enough", "I'm defective" or "I cannot trust others."

Sometimes, life challenges can make us feel isolated, overwhelmed, and like no one could possibly understand. If you're experiencing these feelings and finding it harder to cope, I'd love to partner with you in exploring and improving your situation. I'd like to show you that someone can, in fact, understand. My training – in both Counseling (MS & EdS) and Marriage & Family Therapy (PhD) – makes me uniquely qualified to address a myriad of individual and relational issues using evidence-based methods that increase insight and help bring about your desired changes.

Change is possible for everyone, regardless of your past doings and experiences. Within YOU lies the strength that can help you live your best life. As a therapist, I’ve helped many people who felt hopeless or stuck work through their struggles and access that inner strength. You have what it takes! Whether its anxiety, trauma, depression, anger, or life transitions, I’m confident that we can work one-on-one or in a group setting (family and friends can attend depending on the need).
