Getting to know Shanelle Damaso

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 7 years of experience supporting individuals and families through a range of life challenges. My work has focused on helping clients manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, school-related issues, and major life transitions. I am also certified to support those living with chronic pain. In my practice, I strive to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. I view therapy as a meaningful conversation—one where I walk alongside you as a compassionate listener and trusted guide. I’m deeply passionate about helping people unlock their potential and move toward a life that aligns with their values and goals. As the child of Jamaican immigrants, I bring a culturally informed lens to my work and value the richness that diversity and inclusion bring to the therapeutic process. My faith also grounds me and informs my commitment to providing ethical, compassionate care. I look forward to the opportunity to support your growth and help you build the life you envision.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
