Emily Davis, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Emily!

I facilitate a safe, welcoming environment to explore inner turmoil affecting your present day. My approach is warm, judgment-free, and connective. I work with sexual trauma, body and self-esteem issues, exploring pleasure, mood disorders, and building healthy relationships.

My focus

I specialize in sexual trauma, exploration of pleasure, gender identity, and concerns related to sexuality. I also work with mood disorders and stress management.

My approach

My approach is person-centered, valuing collaboration and addressing what shows up in our therapeutic space. I incorporate transparency, warmth, and connection as focal points. You are the expert of yourself; my role is to support you during the journey.

My communication style

My communication style is kind, warm, and direct. I value transparency and strive to build a place where you feel cared for and challenged.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up, I interacted with mental health providers and activists who offered me a safe place to explore and heal. I was determined to become the person I needed as a child. I enjoy being part of someone's journey to make life feel more manageable.

My goals for you

I utilize assessment within the first few sessions, including sexual health, psychosocial, psychiatric history, and current mental health challenges. I work with you to create a manageable goal and offer several directions to achieve it.

Our first session

My first session focuses on rapport building, introductions, assessments, and information gathering. I offer insight about myself to ensure it will be a good fit and explore the purpose of seeking therapy.
