Getting to know Darlene Rampasaud
I am a dedicated and compassionate Senior Psychotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience in mental health counseling, specializing in trauma therapy and addiction recovery. My practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, which I use to help clients of all ages—including individuals, couples, families, and groups—navigate life’s challenges and achieve emotional resilience.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) and certified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), I bring a high level of clinical expertise and ethical integrity to every therapeutic relationship. I also hold specialized training in Marriage and Family Therapy, allowing me to support clients in restoring and strengthening their most important relationships.
Throughout my career, I have maintained a strong commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration, crisis intervention, and holistic care, particularly for populations with co-occurring mental and physical health needs. My leadership in faith-based organizations, public schools, and community health initiatives reflects a passion for outreach, prevention, and education. I have developed and led workshops, authored peer-reviewed publications, and mentored interns—cultivating both client growth and the next generation of behavioral health professionals.
My clinical mission is to promote healing through empathy, trust, and culturally competent care, while continuously advancing the field through innovation and lifelong learning.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a Senior Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, my approach is grounded in warmth, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether you're navigating trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, or life transitions, we will work together to build practical strategies for healing and growth.
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and a strength-based perspective to help you explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I tailor treatment to your specific needs and goals, and I view therapy as a partnership—your voice and experience are central to the process.
You can expect open communication, consistent support, and a respectful, client-centered experience. If you're ready to take that next step toward personal growth and emotional wellness, I’m here to walk that path with you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My therapeutic process is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and structure. When working with new clients, our first session typically involves a comprehensive intake and psychosocial assessment. This allows me to understand your history, current concerns, strengths, and goals. I take the time to listen carefully and gather information that will help us develop a clear, personalized treatment plan.
In ongoing sessions, you can expect a combination of talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT), and mindfulness-based interventions. I often integrate trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches to help you better understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Whether we're addressing trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, or daily stressors, sessions are tailored to meet your evolving needs.
Therapy with me is an active process. We may explore patterns, identify triggers, practice coping strategies, and set realistic goals to support your growth. I also offer support with crisis intervention and safety planning when needed, particularly for clients managing high-risk issues.
For clients in SAP (Substance Abuse Professional) evaluations, I follow the DOT guidelines closely, providing a structured process that includes assessment, recommendations for education or treatment, and return-to-duty planning.
