Damiana Oni, LCSW

Do you feel out of control, unable to manage your emotion, stressed, alone or confused ? I can relate to whatever areas of conflict you are at in your life's journey and will hopefully have an opportunity to meet you to tackle each of your goals for therapy. All you need to do is try, open yourself up to the therapeutic process with as much optimism as possible, to promote a chance for resolution of all conflict areas you are experiencing. You are not alone in whatever life's challenges you are currently experiencing. (Depression, Mood Disorder, Bipolar, Psychosis, Trauma, Anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and a host of other problem areas within behavioral and mental health spectrum). Partner-up with me, get yourself to a place of healthy coping and taking charge of your emotional strength. I have practiced clinically as a Therapist/Team Leader of an Intensive Family Intervention Unit at Transitional Family Services, in which I led a team of 2 therapists and 2 paraprofessionals to actualize family preservation - through strength based/family systems approach to prevent out of home placement for troubled adolescents. The team maintained a caseload between 12 and 16 cases. I have experience in CORE programs (less intensive mental health programs), where I practiced as the clinical director or consultant I worked as a Hospice Social Worker for 2 years, assessing patients in the program, preparing the patients/family members towards death and dying process, offering PTSD therapy to patients and families affected with chronic illness(es), as well as offering concrete services towards their individual needs. I also offer bereavement therapy to family bereaved families. I maintain a caseload of 13 in this program.
