My Process

Not only will you fill in the intake paperwork, you will be requested to take a temperament test as a prerequisite to your counseling.

This Couples assessment reveals a-lot about your needs and environment. For a couple I will assess your relationship through a couples assessment that will identify areas that need growth in your relationship among the many things we can accomplish.

My Story

Hello, my name is Damalie Namale

Writing about yourself is probably one of the most difficult things one can do. Wouldn’t you agree? Well, here is my attempt at it. Despite the fact that I didn’t even know how to be relational, I’ve always had a desire to help people, but I had no clue how to bridge a career with my passion and desire. I went to college like most people and I obtained a degree in…tourism! I figured that it would put me in a position to help people from all over the world. In a way it did, but I wasn’t fully prepared to make an impact in people’s lives in a meaningful way.

This provoked me to pursue further education and as a result, I graduated from Cornerstone University with a Masters of Arts in Clinical Christian Counseling. I have also been Board Certified with the NCCA (National Christian Counselor’s Association) where I have become an ambassador member and a clinical supervisor in several specialties, such as Child & Adolescent Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, and Ethics, Crisis & Abuse Therapy, and Death & Grief Therapy.

Damalie Namale

In each counseling session, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I believe that we all have the capacity for growth and healing when validated and heard. My role is to guide you on this journey, help you navigate life’s challenges, and move toward a healthier and more fulfilling future.

Whether you’re an individual seeking to overcome personal obstacles or a couple looking to strengthen your relationship. Together, we’ll work towards understanding your struggles, who you are, and how you got where you are while uncovering your strengths, and empowering you to make positive changes in your life.

You can find healing and hope again!

In addition, I am a Certified Temperament Counselor, Certified Professional Coach and a Certified Facilitator of the Elijah House program. I am a Certified Prepare Enrich facilitator, a program that supports marriages and pre marital couples. I worked as a counselor with the Life Guidance Center at Calvary Temple International before I started a private practice in which I have been privileged to help many people who are struggling with the diverse challenges of life.

As much as I help others, I have personally experienced and still experience life’s challenges just like everyone else in this world. After graduating from college, I became really sick and almost died. Doctors didn’t know what to do for me and I was at the end of my rope. I was frustrated and confused, but in the midst of these feelings, through that difficult time, I gained a lot of insight and wisdom into the purpose of life. I also learned how to allow others to support and walk alongside me. I can confidently say that through those experiences I’ve not only learned to overcome life’s difficulties, but I’ve also learned how to help others.

This is why I desire to share with those who are hurting and brokenhearted.
