Meet the Therapist
Hi! My name is Dametres Perkins and I am the proud founder of
Reclaiming Your Power, LLC. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Massachusetts. I have spent the past 12 years dedicating my career to helping both young and mature women who want to change the trajectory of their lives.
My Approach
My clients are often high-functioning, professional, or academic individuals who struggle with vulnerability, boundaries, low self-esteem, and/or overcoming their trauma histories. Many of them identify as the “strong friend” who people forget to check in on.
I am deeply committed to the well-being of my clients and it is evident in my diligence as a practitioner. I have been trained in, and utilize, multiple trauma-informed treatment modalities such as Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I have conducted independent research as well as remained up-to-date with changes in the field of psychology and trauma work.
My approach with clients is relational, empowering, and full of laughter -- something I consider necessary for healing. It is important for me to build a strong rapport with my clients because I often challenge them to think or respond in ways that are outside of their comfort zones. I may include homework assignments and writing prompts as part of their treatment.
When I am not working, I enjoy boxing, baking, soulful music, and watching my children grow into amazing young citizens of the world.
