Dammy Ogun portrait

Therapeutic Style: I view counseling as a collaborative relationship, and I work with students to achieve their goals by providing a safe and non-judgmental space where they can be their authentic selves and explore their mental health concerns. Although my therapeutic approach is grounded in person-centered and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), I also draw from other relational approaches to counseling. I strive to meet students where they are and tailor my approach based on the needs of students.

Professional Interests: My areas of professional interest include anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal relationships, cultural adjustment and transition, identity development, Belonging and Student Success, immigrant and international student populations. Before joining Syracuse University, I worked in community mental health providing services to children and youth who experience sexual violence, abuse and neglect. I also completed my internship at East Tennessee State University Counseling Center, where I co-facilitated a BIPOC support group for students on campus.

Educational Background: I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and completed a master’s degree in mental health counseling at East Tennessee State University.
