About

Welcome to Path! My name is Damara C Ferguson a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Northeast Ohio and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I have over 15 years of experience and I love providing therapy; I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they heal, grow, and learn ways to cope with life's difficulties. My approach I will tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I mainly work utilizing a combination of clinical modalities such as CBT, DBT, Behavioral therapy, Trauma-informed therapy, Christian Counseling, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance Therapy to name a few. My focus I have successfully worked with adolescents, adults, and older adults throughout my time as a therapist. This often takes the form of working with clients who struggle with trauma/PTSD, stress, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, grief, addiction, life changes, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, schizophrenia, psychotic disorders, and cognitive distortions to give you a general idea. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My communication style My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. My journey to therapy I was always meant to be a therapist! I began wondering about the lives and emotions of others at a very young age and was deeply empathetic. I absolutely love doing this work, it's one of my greatest joys in life! My goals for you My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building trust between us and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we ll work together to set goals and track your progress.
