Damika Ham, LICSW — Therapist in District of Columbia

Hi there, I'm Damika!

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with experience working with many different groups, ranging from children to the elderly. I specialize in relationship issues, conflict resolution, and communication. I work with couples, families, and individuals to assist with meeting personal goals.

My focus

I work with couples, families, and individuals dealing with a multitude of concerns such as anxiety, stress, communication, self-esteem, setting boundaries, and workplace conflict.

My approach

I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and many other modalities to address your concerns.

My communication style

I create a safe empathic space for you to express yourself and work toward a positive path forward.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a love of helping others. Throughout my career, I have focused on roles that impact change in others and offer improvements to individual lives.

My goals for you

You play a pivotal role in goal setting. I work to empower you to identify concerns and needs, and we work together to determine what positive growth looks like for you, then establish the steps to reach your goals.

Our first session

The first session focuses on building rapport between us. This time is used to learn more about what leads you to therapy and the areas where focus is needed.
