Brett Davis, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Brett!

Where we are is not where we are meant to be. In an imperfect world, we will work together to strengthen resilience and progress toward your goals. Using a trauma-informed eclectic approach, we will navigate the experiences that have shaped us to build toward where we are meant to be.

My focus

Life is full of experiences, and the worst ones seem to have the most significant impacts. I have 15 years of experience working with complex trauma, complicated grief, anxiety, depression, and marital discord.

My approach

My goal is to foster acceptance, reconciliation, and resilience, using a narrative approach and an eclectic toolbox full of insight, exploration, and depth. We will work collaboratively to reach the treatment goals you define.

My communication style

My goal is to have therapy feel like talking to an old friend. Collaborative, supportive, honest, compassionate, and most importantly, easy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was raised in a long line of Marines and continued the legacy of service. Starting out as a troubled youth, I found courage, discipline, and camaraderie in the Marine Corps. After deploying to Iraq, I sought out therapy and studied psychology. Trauma work has helped me find my faith in God again.

My goals for you

Using exploration and reflection, we will work together to define the life you are looking for. As you gain new insights, we will continue to adapt your plan to accommodate all of life's changes.

Our first session

The first session will be like catching up with an old friend. We will explore where you have been, where you dream to go, and what has happened all along the way. We will pull the strings of insights and see where they lead.
