Welcome to Grow Therapy, my name is Damara C Ferguson, I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW servicing Ohio, Oregon, and California. I enjoy providing therapy, listening to the client's problems and providing wisdom and feedback. I have worked in various settings, such as group homes, in-patient treatment centers, prisons, and I've provided therapy in-the-home for families, children, and adolescents. You've come to the right place!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Scheduling your first therapy session requires resolve — to admit you may need some help or that you have a condition, symptoms, or challenges to work through — and self-awareness to recognize you need a little help. So if you’ve made your first counseling session already, you should know just how much strength you truly have. And if you haven’t scheduled your first session just quite yet, there’s nothing to fear in doing so — and everything to gain. During your first session we will cover patient consent, confidentiality and the limitations of confidentiality. We'll review your demographics and history, as well as discuss what led you to therapy and what you hope to get out of therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I work utilizing a wide range of clinical modalities such as CBT, DBT, Behavioral therapy, Trauma-informed therapy, Christian Counseling, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance Therapy to name a few. I specialize in helping clients with trauma/PTSD, stress, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, addiction, life changes, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, schizophrenia, psychotic disorders and cognitive distortions to give you a general idea.
