Serina Davis, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Serina!

Feeling disconnected or overwhelmed? You are not alone. I help clients navigate feelings of depression, anxiety, anger, family conflict, and relationship issues with warmth and authenticity. My goal is to help you feel more connected, capable, and clear on the life that you would like to create.

My focus

I work with adults navigating feelings of anxiety, anger, depression, family conflict, and relationship issues. Together, we will build skills and create a realistic, personalized plan that helps you feel connected to yourself and others and capable of accomplishing your goals.

My approach

I use client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family systems, and solution-focused approaches to help you identify and satisfy your goals and needs. My approach is collaborative and realistic to help provide you with the skills and tools to support your goals.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open, and honest communication to create an understanding, collaborative, and non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and provide space, patiently and calmly, for you to reflect on your experiences. When working collaboratively, I will provide empathetic and authentic feedback.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began with an interest in observing people and a joy of helping others feel connected. Working with people in their most vulnerable states has shown me the power of connection and authenticity in healing and lasting change. I am driven by the belief that everyone deserves healing and connection.

My goals for you

Together, we will set goals that matter to you and are achievable. Goals are tailored to you and what you are looking to get out of the therapeutic process. As you grow and gain new insights, we will revisit the goals to make sure they stay meaningful and supportive of the life that you would like to create.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. It is normal to feel awkward or nervous in the beginning. Therapy is a process and a relationship that we will build together at your pace, one step at a time.
