Damion Harmon’s work is rooted in one simple truth: what we don’t name, we carry — and what we carry eventually shows up in our bodies, our relationships, and our decisions.

He is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Certified Grief-Informed Professional, TEDx Speaker, and mental health advocate whose work sits at the intersection of clinical practice, lived experience, and public conversation. His journey into this field was shaped not only by professional training, but by witnessing firsthand how unprocessed loss, trauma, and emotional suppression quietly impact individuals, families, and entire communities.

Over the course of his career, Damion has worked across outpatient therapy, residential treatment, group homes, and community-based settings, supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating grief, trauma, identity shifts, and major life transitions. Through this work, one pattern became increasingly clear: many people are grieving experiences they don’t have language for — because no one taught them that loss extends beyond death.

That realization became the foundation of everything he does.

Damion’s approach is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and culturally responsive. He believes healing begins with awareness rather than avoidance, and that emotional pain does not need comparison to be valid. Whether in the therapy room, on a stage, or through the written word, his work focuses on helping people name their experiences, understand how those experiences shape their emotional lives, and move forward with clarity and intention.

Often described as Not Your Average Therapist, Damion blends clinical expertise with real-life language, meeting people where they are while challenging them to engage honestly with what they carry — and what they’re ready to release.
