About Damien
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana and Texas with 9 years of experience. Since 2016, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting individuals in navigating anxiety, self-esteem, depression, life transitions, focus issues, and overcoming challenges. My approach is centered on helping clients shift thought patterns to create healthier perspectives, and I work to provide a professional yet welcoming environment where people feel heard, understood, and supported. I aim to help reduce anxiety and depression, while empowering clients to overcome obstacles and build resilience for long-term growth and positive change.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling and Guidance from Louisiana Tech University. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to guide clients in addressing challenges with new perspectives. By focusing on skills such as self-reflection and positive affirmations.
I understand firsthand how difficult mental health struggles can be, and I bring that insight into my work with every client. My goal is always to listen with compassion, meet clients where they are, and offer personalized support that addresses their unique needs and lived experiences, helping them move forward with confidence.
"As an African American male who has personally experienced ADHD and anxiety, I understand how stress can make tasks feel overwhelming. I take a laid back, nonjudgmental approach to create a safe space for clients, making it easier to discuss challenges."
