Cecil Davison

My communication style

I tend to be very conversational during sessions. I ask a lot of questions in order to get an idea of your worldview. I often say, "Sessions may not always feel like sessions," and that is because I do my best to make the time spent with me as comfortable and familiar as I can for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

My friends, family, and associates will tell you that I've been their therapist long before I was licensed as one. It's natural for me. When I realized they were right, I decided to make this my contribution to the world. It's the best and most fulfilling decision I've ever made. I try to be the therapist I need: consistent, honest, nonjudgmental.

My goals for you

Simply put: We are partners, but you are the leader. I work as hard as my clients work, and thus far, I have had my greatest successes with clients who are as interested and invested in their growth through therapeutic intervention as I am. You CAN do this, but you do not have to do it alone.

Our first session

After all of the housekeeping stuff (like explaining how confidentiality works) is explained and understood, we will get started. I become an active listener, and I'm hoping to begin a solid therapeutic plan for us. There will be a lot of discussion around what you would like for therapy to do for you and what I specifically can do for you.

I identify as...
