Right now, life may feel hard. You’ve faced many challenges that seemed to have come out of nowhere, and you're constantly doing your best to navigate through them. You struggle to set healthy boundaries and often feel overwhelmed. Asking for help isn't always easy. You may say to yourself, “What will people think? I can figure it out on my own.” It’s tough because you usually go at it alone, carrying the load and bearing the burden. However, deep down inside, you know that something isn't quite right and that you could use some support. Does this sound familiar?

We all experience pain--it’s normal. A lot can unsettle us as humans--feelings of anxiety and depression; career and identity development; making meaning of unpleasant thoughts, feelings, sensations, and experiences; and navigating the balance between chaos and control, freedom and responsibility, connectedness and differentiation, action and paralysis. It's no wonder life feels difficult so much of the time! I'm passionate about helping people become more grounded and accepting of themselves as they grapple with these hazards of being human.

Each day it seems that life presents a new challenge, often causing us to question certain decisions that we have made or to consider new paths that we would like to explore. My goal is to gain a clear picture of each individual's needs, explore new and more effective ways of problem solving, and help each individual develop greater insight and growth. I believe the relational component of therapy is essential and serves at the foundation for establishing trust, compassion, empathy, and respect. I have expertise in working with individuals of all ages: children, adolescents, adults and families.

*I am out on maternity leave. I will reply to voicemails and emails when I return. Thanks!* Everyone experiences times in their lives where they feel overwhelmed and stuck. Those difficult periods can be the result of internal factors (such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, negative body image, etc.), external factors (such as a loss, relationship problems, financial stress, a traumatic event, etc.) or a combination of both. My goal is to help clients get unstuck. I work with my clients to gain insight into the issues that are contributing to their struggles and address the factors that are in their control to change.

My name is Damara C Ferguson, LICSW in the state of Ohio. Currently I see clients through telehealth/video sessions only.

Shame, relationship conflict, trauma and intense emotion are significant parts of the human experience. Though common, all of these experiences can disrupt or make it extremely difficult for an individual to connect with themselves, have healthy relationships, meet their goals, or even make it through the day. These challenges can be isolating and can start to foster feelings of hopelessness, shame, and create barriers to reaching out for help. I encourage you to reach out anyway. Creating the life you want to live can start gently, with curiosity and compassion for yourself. I'll meet you there.

I believe that the path to discovering our best selves is a path worth taking. Sometimes we discover that we must heal along the way and need someone to come alongside us to help us face the parts of ourselves we would rather not see. If you are at the place where you are ready to face some hard things and don't want to face them alone, I am willing to walk with you and make a safe space to ask hard questions and emerge in hope. I believe that your most authentic self is good, and together we will make room to discover who that is and love them. The transformation you desire is right in front of you.

I am clinical social worker with over 15 years of professional experience. My approach to work has always coincided with my desire to pursue education and travel. I have recently returned to my Ohio roots to locate a private practice that continues to weave threads related to much older passions such as reading and learning, social connection and community, and personal reflection and pursuits related to the mind and body. At this time, I am most interested in working with adults that feel stuck or are interested in receiving support through points of pain and life transitions.
