Damaris Torres is a Licensed Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate substance use disorders, mental health challenges, and life’s many transitions. She earned her Master of Social Work from Rutgers University and has experience working with adolescents, adults, and families affected by substance use, mental health concerns, homelessness, and other complex life stressors.
Damaris believes every individual deserves to be met with compassion, empathy, and respect. She creates a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where clients feel empowered to share their experiences, build on their strengths, and take meaningful steps toward lasting recovery. Her person-centered approach recognizes that healing is unique to each individual, and she is committed to meeting clients where they are while helping them develop the skills and confidence needed to create positive, lasting change.
Outside of work, Damaris enjoys spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, and prioritizing self-care to maintain balance and bring her best to those she serves.
