Getting to know Heather Damon

Hi there, I'm Heather! Hello! My name is Heather L Damon, LCSW. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety-related disorders, OCD, and PTSD. I practice Exposure and Response Prevention as well as EMDR, the gold standard for anxiety and trauma treatment. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento. My approach I do not ascribe to a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy and pull from a variety of modalities. I also believe that the magic in therapy happens when I work as a team with a patient to collaborate on the best next steps forward. I have been honored to witness individuals and couples overcome many barriers that initially seemed insurmountable. Based on the lived experience of those I work with, I believe that a full, happy, and peaceful life is within reach for everyone who seeks it. My focus I work with folks aged 14 to 114. I really enjoy helping people overcome traumatic memories as well as panic, phobias, OCD, generalized anxiety, hoarding, skin and hair picking. My communication style I work hard to create a relaxed and warm environment, while also providing some structure. I think assigning homework or setting an intention at the end of a session can be a way for folks to experience some forward momentum. My journey to mental healthcare I believe healing the world starts from within. When things in the external environment get chaotic and a bit scary, it is possible to hone skills to reclaim a sense of peace and purpose by refocusing on our own values and abilities. I am interested in impacting the ripple effect by helping people heal themselves, which will eventually benefit the community and beyond. My goals for you Together we will decide on specific, measurable goals to achieve. I will be available to problem-solve and encourage along the way. My first session with you During our first session, we will talk about what therapy will look like together and get to know each other better.
