Getting to know Angel Damara
Hello. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Oregon (LCSW) and Washington (LICSW) with over 16 years of experience in mental and behavioral health, working with people of all ages in both addictions and mental health.
I earned my Master's in Social Work from Walla Walla University. As a transpersonal therapist, I take a holistic, therapeutic approach that incorporates spiritual wisdom and traditions with modern psychotherapies to promote healing and growth. I use a variety of evidence-based and best practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT and CBT-CP). I hold VA certifications in chronic pain management using CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These techniques are used in conjunction with cultivating greater spiritual awareness to enhance interpersonal relationships, self-esteem, and increase meaning and purpose in one's life. Overall, value is placed on self-awareness and open-mindedness for both the therapist and client in an honest, mindful, and non-judgmental space.
I work with adolescents, adults, and couples from different backgrounds, including LGBTQ-IA+ and diverse races, to address depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions.
My approach is calm, mindful, and compassionate, and I will meet you where you are in your healing journey. I am adaptable and can be more direct if this is your preference and/or when needed, with your permission. We will go at your pace.
I sometimes wish I had a great story to tell about my journey to become a therapist. However, my story is not unusual. As I stepped into my personal power by engaging in a self-healing journey, I also assisted others on their own journeys, so it seemed a natural fit. I pursued my Master's Degree later in life and then took my time pursuing licensure, as a license was not required for me to conduct therapy at the time.
