New to Grow
Welcome! I'm Damaris, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping older adolescents and adults navigate life's challenges with compassion and hope. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. I provide a warm, culturally responsive, and nonjudgmental space where I enjoy getting to know your unique story, building on your strengths, and helping you develop practical skills to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we'll work toward the goals that matter most to you.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll explore the goals and outcomes you'd like to achieve, your strengths, and what's most important to you. It's also your chance to ask questions, learn about my approach, and decide whether we're a good fit. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself. As someone who finds healing in nature, I enjoy incorporating nature-inspired perspectives when they align with your interests and goals.
My experience across behavioral health, healthcare, education, and community settings allows me to meet clients where they are with compassion and understanding. I bring warmth, genuine curiosity, and a deep respect for your unique story. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
I enjoy working with older adolescents (16+) and adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, mood disorders, trauma, stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I believe each person brings unique strengths and resilience, and together we'll build on those strengths while developing practical tools to help you move forward with greater confidence, balance, and hope.
Other specialties
I identify as
Eclectic
I believe that every person is unique, so I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches and tailor each session to your individual needs, strengths, and goals, creating a personalized path toward healing and growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand patterns that may be contributing to stress, anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck. Together, we build on strengths, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful changes that support emotional well-being and personal growth.
Grief Therapy
Grief looks different for everyone, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. I provide a compassionate, supportive space where clients can process their loss at their own pace, honor their experiences, and find healthy ways to cope while moving forward with hope and healing.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. I create a warm, inclusive space where clients from all backgrounds can be themselves without fear of judgment. Together, we honor your unique experiences, build on your strengths, and work toward the goals that matter most to you.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients build on their strengths and focus on what is possible rather than what is wrong. Together, we identify what's already working, set meaningful goals, and take small, practical steps that lead to lasting positive change.
