Getting to know Damian Kerr

I work with adults across all life stages who are dealing with grief, chronic illness, substance use, and mental health struggles. I provide direct, compassionate care to help you find clarity, build practical coping strategies, and confront difficult topics while honoring your experiences. I hope to support you in breaking free from harmful/limiting patterns and moving forward with resilience, knowing that you have a space to process these challenges where nothing is off topic. My approach I specialize in grief support, LGBTQ+ issues, and cognitive approaches to help you face life’s curveballs—because let’s be honest, there have been a lot of curveballs lately. Whether you’re dealing with loss, identity struggles, or everyday challenges, I provide a space where you can work through them without sugarcoating or toxic positivity. If you’re looking for a therapist who won’t hit you with endless platitudes or say “everything happens for a reason,” reach out. I combine humor, honest care, and (hopefully) a bit of wit to help you face challenges head-on. We’ll build rapport, find what works for you, and maybe even laugh a little while navigating life’s chaos. My focus I focus on working with the LGBTQ+ community, people who have experienced recent losses, those living with chronic illness, substance use, and people navigating the challenges of the aging process. My communication style I prioritize direct, open communication to help create a comfortable and focused environment. I believe in the value of humor as a tool for connection. You are the expert of your experience, and my role is to support the movement of our conversation. My goals for you My treatment approach is organized and goal-oriented. In our first two sessions, we will collaborate on a goal for our time together and identify measurable objectives. These objectives will help to make sure that we're staying on track and making this space as effective for you as possible.
