Hi, my name is Dr. Sinead Cowins. As a therapist, my goal is to help you achieve your best self. It is my purpose to guide you through investigating your wants and needs, the thoughts that trouble you, and the life experiences that have impacted you. With a compassionate, gentle, and sincere style, I individualize treatment to the needs of my clients. Utilizing a strength-based approach, I can aid with a wide range of difficulties, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief and loss, unresolved emotional issues, the mind-body connection, self-esteem/self-empowerment, and creating meaning and purpose in life. Ensuring that I provide a safe space for exploration is something that I place in high esteem, and I believe it is essential for a healthy therapeutic relationship.

Welcome! I'm Damaris, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor. I enjoy helping older teens and adults navigate difficult seasons of life while discovering their strengths and creating positive change. I have a particular passion for supporting individuals recovering from trauma and helping them reconnect with a sense of safety, empowerment, and hope. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself, so I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about what's on your mind. Together, we'll explore challenges, celebrate progress, and work toward the life you want to build.

For most of my adult life I have had the privilege of helping others navigate challenges, make meaningful changes, and move forward in their lives. Along the way life has happened to me, too. I have experienced loss, grief, life transitions, and family conflict, and I understand that sometimes even the strongest among us need support finding our way through difficult seasons.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, what I bring to the professional relationship is true life experiences, not just professional training, and a genuine understanding of how complex life can be. I work with adults of all ages who are ready for change, and yet, may not be quite sure where to begin. My approach is down-to-earth, curious, compassionate, and focused on making our time together meaningful or forward focused.

I believe that each one of us has the answers to our problems inside of us. However, sometimes we need someone on our journey to help us unlock those answers by asking the right questions---things you may not have considered, presenting proven strategies, and psychoeducation. Although, you will make strides with the energy and effort you give, the number one predictor that one will improve is the quality of the therapeutic relationship. I hope to provide a place of warmth, compassion, and acceptance in which you feel empowered and free to approach any concerns. I am here to help you along on your journey.
I am a licensed mental health counselor in Arizona, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Utah. I graduated from Florida Atlantic University with an Educational Specialist degree in Mental Health Counseling. I also earned a Master's of Art from Roosevelt University. I have experience working with youth and their families as well as adults. The theoretical framework that I usually draw from is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I also apply Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing Techniques as needed. I address trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, interpersonal skills, self-esteem, anger, problem-solving, and decision-making. In conjunction with therapy, I believe that exercise, proper nutrition, and good sleep hygiene are an integral part of overcoming mental health concerns.
Change, even positive change can be challenging and uncomfortable. I hope to provide the necessary support as a champion of change.

I’m an LCSW who works with teens and adults who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or simply need someone in their corner. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, past experiences that still affect you, relationship or family challenges, low self-esteem, major life changes, or just the stress that comes with trying to keep everything together.
My style is warm, laid-back, and real. I do not believe therapy has to feel overly formal or clinical to be meaningful. I want sessions to feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are... even if you do not know what to talk about that day, have no idea where to start, or need some time before you feel comfortable opening up. I use humor when it fits, ask questions that help you look at things differently, and will gently challenge you when I think it could help.
I also understand that there isn’t one approach that works for everyone. I pull from different therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to your personality, needs, goals, and where you are in life. Some sessions may involve learning practical coping skills or working toward a specific goal, while others may simply be about slowing down and making sense of what you’re feeling.
Most importantly, I want you to feel like therapy is something we’re doing together, not something being done to you. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to support you, offer a different perspective, help you recognize patterns, celebrate your progress, and give you tools to navigate the hard stuff.

I am a licensed clinical social worker supporting children, adults, couples, and families through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship strain, ADHD, mood disorders, and the emotional impact of chronic or complex medical issues. I offer telehealth care and am licensed in Missouri, Texas, and New Jersey.
I am warm, steady, and down-to-earth. I want therapy to feel safe and collaborative, not stiff or clinical for its own sake. My work is practical and client-centered: we use what helps you most, including evidence-based therapy, family and school-based skills, 12-step support when addiction is part of the picture, and biblical counseling if that is your preference.
My experience includes schools, hospitals, emergency rooms, homes, inpatient and outpatient programs, and community crisis work. I have built programs, supervised students and staff, and trained youth volunteers for a suicide hotline. Those settings showed me how quickly life can change, and how much strength people can find when they are not facing it alone.
I am especially committed to clients who feel dismissed by systems—healthcare, housing, or the justice system—and I stay with the work until there is a clearer, more stable path forward.

As a Psychotherapist, I believe that everyone already has the tools they need to be their most productive and successful self. Sometimes people just need the support and encouragement from an outside source to reach their personal "happy place". Every patient has a right to Self-Determination and Self-Awareness. Psychotherapy can help develop insight, coping mechanisms, and social skills to help us build stronger relationships.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of mental health settings. My professional background includes in home therapy, outpatient therapy, intensive outpatient programs, psychiatric emergency rooms, and children’s shelters. This diverse experience allows me to support clients with a wide range of concerns, from everyday stress and emotional overwhelm to more complex life challenges and transitions.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you are unsure where to begin or feel disconnected from yourself. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel heard, respected, and understood. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we will identify your goals and work at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful for you.
In our work together, we will focus on building practical coping skills to help you manage emotions, reduce stress, and feel more grounded in your daily life. We will explore patterns that may be contributing to distress and develop strategies that support emotional regulation, self awareness, and healthier responses to challenges. I emphasize tools that can be applied outside of sessions so therapy continues to support you in real world situations.
I also believe self care should be realistic and sustainable. Rather than adding pressure, we will focus on practices that genuinely support your mental and emotional well being. Therapy is not about changing who you are, but about strengthening your ability to cope, increasing confidence, and reconnecting with your values.
You do not need to have everything figured out to begin. If you are seeking support, clarity, and lasting growth, I would be honored to work with you.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
