Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.
Helen Keller
Insight Brings Growth
There is a reason you experience anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. There are areas of your life where you are less conscious and where growth is needed. The goal of therapy, in my view, is not to merely reduce your negative feelings - it is to facilitate the growth that heals the problem at its root.
​
Many patients are surprised at how quickly I help them get to the heart of the matter. My approach starts with taking the time to understand your life and who you are. ​With a few sessions people usually gain a sense of hope and greater perspective. As our work progresses, my aim is to facilitate deeper self knowledge and empowerment.

We Need to Talk
In psychotherapy, talking about the problem is different from venting. It helps you become far more aware of your feelings while gaining invaluable feedback and insight.
​​
When you understand your problems in the right light, your painful feelings will gradually resolve. You will grow into a broader sense of who you are and what your life can be. ​My role is to help you listen to your inner life more deeply. A few sessions at the right time in your life can have tremendous impact.

About Dr. Michael Damian
Clinical Psychologist

Being a psychologist is a calling for me. I enjoy listening, connecting the not-so-obvious dots, and supporting people's growth. It's a field that includes philosophical, scientific and spiritual inquiry in its scope, with the aim of understanding the human condition and uplifting people's lives.
​
I think most of our lives are fairly ordinary, and yet also hold extraordinary moments, great love and unexplored depths. In my work, I enjoy the relationship between the practical, ordinary aspects of life and the deeper aspects of the soul and unconscious.
​
It is very poignant for me to witness patients make breakthroughs and discover who they are and how much richer and more exciting life can be. I feel honored to take part in sessions where people's lives are quietly and profoundly changed through the process of self-awareness.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.
- Carl Jung
We have an inner life and an outer life. The inner life is mainly concerned with developing awareness, love and wisdom. These qualities integrate the psyche, improve our relationships and allow us to express our authentic self in the world.
​
Whether you are a more introverted or extraverted person, in your 20s or 60s, I am here to help you unlock the treasure of your real self so that you can live your best life.
The main way I do this is by listening. When you are deeply listened to, you will learn to really hear yourself, to know what is true for you and what to do about it. This is true empowerment.
