Damara is very professional and has helped me in the short time I have been seeing her. She is kind and very caring.

When I made my selections with BetterHelp in terms of what I needed in a counselor, I feel Damara was exactly that. It was so important to me that I had not just clinical, but spiritual advice from a professional. This is truly a gift that Damara has...she provides such a wonderful balance of both. I have learned many things about myself in my time with her. I am growing psychologically and spiritually more mature. I am very happy with time with her, the BetterHelp platform, and the amount for the services. It is money and time well spent and the best counseling I have had in my life.

I have become much better at reflecting on my issues through my time with Damara. It has helped me greatly put pieces together within myself that I really needed to figure out. I appreciate her.

She’s very easy to talk to and easy to get in contact with through the app. She goes above and beyond and I feel like she’s very invested in helping me with my mental health. Couldn’t ask for better!!!

Damara really listens to what you are saying and is really able to sort through your words to the root of what is going on. She does not judge you which makes you feel free to really open up to her.

Damara is amazing! She's caring, wonderful, thoughtful, and she really helps. I was struggling so bad and I feel like a new person already. I feel blessed that she came into my life! She sends resources and exercises to do between appointments. You can feel that she has a good soul from the second she says hello. She really cares and she gives you the best level of therapy you can get. I would recommend her to anyone!
