Hello, I am Rebecca Davis, LMFT135557. I am a person-centered therapist that enjoys working with clients of all ages.
My approach
I tend to work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; I have a positive psychology approach and am person-centered. I am practicing other theories as well.
My focus
I tend to work with at-risk youth on a regular basis. However, I have worked with adults and enjoy clients of all ages. I have worked with trauma, substance use, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and so much more.
My communication style
I try to create a non-judgmental, safe environment for my clients to feel open and secure.
My journey to mental healthcare
I started in the field of psychology in 2014 while in my master's program as a Family Support Partner assisting parents with resources and other needs for them and their children that were in therapy (similar to a case manager). I then started practicing therapy in 2016, providing family and individual counseling. In 2018, after graduating and becoming a registered associate MFT, I worked in a substance abuse/residential program with adult women providing therapeutic services. In 2018, I transitioned to working with at-risk youth. I have been working with at-risk youth full-time for 5 years. I also became a licensed MFT in September 2022.
My goals for you
I like to discuss what the client wants to focus on and have the client create the goal with me.
My first session with you
The first session is more like an interview; I want to get to know the client (their likes, dislikes, hobbies, family dynamics, etc.). I want to explore what the client wants to get out of being in therapy and what I can do as a therapist to assist them in meeting their goals.
