Getting to know Shanelle Damaso
Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who appear to have it all together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck on the inside. They aren't necessarily looking for someone to simply listen. They're looking for practical tools, meaningful insight, and lasting change.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 8 years of experience, I help adults navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, and the challenges that come with balancing life's many responsibilities. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and personalized because I believe therapy should fit the individual, not the other way around.
I believe you're the expert on your own life. My role is to help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical tools, and support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.
As the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, I value the role culture, identity, and lived experiences play in mental health. I aim to create an inclusive space where clients from diverse backgrounds feel understood and respected. For clients who desire it, I'm also happy to thoughtfully integrate Christian faith into the therapeutic process. I also accept The Loveland Foundation Therapy Fund voucher for eligible clients, which can help reduce financial barriers to accessing therapy.
I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be yourself while also feeling gently challenged to grow. Together, we'll build greater self-awareness, strengthen practical coping skills, and work toward creating a life that feels more balanced, intentional, and aligned with your values.

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.
