Chris Davies, LPC — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Chris!

I provide individual and couples therapy for adults and specialize in trauma and couples' conflict. My approach focuses on creating emotional safety and holding compassion for your whole self.

My focus

I work with depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, life transitions, grief, and relationships. I specialize in treating PTSD by helping you feel safe and gradually helping the brain and body work through traumatic memory. I also specialize in working with couples in conflict, helping you regulate emotions and connect.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered, grounded in attachment theory and neuroscience. I join with you to bring your goals into focus and work toward them at a pace that works for you. I focus on results and customize my approach to you.

My communication style

I recognize that you are the expert on you. I ask open-ended questions and give non-judgmental summaries. Sessions are your time, and there is no wrong thing to talk about. I validate you and never judge. I provide information and recommendations when you are ready, but you move at your own pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always felt inspired helping people overcome pain and find hope. Most of my work has been with people traumatized by violence and abuse and with couples stuck in conflict. My experience gives me confidence that you can cope, heal, grow, and love. I look forward to working with you.

My goals for you

Therapy is a gradual process of growing and healing with steps forward and some steps backward. My aim is to help you feel relief and encouragement. Throughout our work, I will explain each step, seek your permission, and check in with you regularly.

Our first session

By the end of our first session, I will have gotten to know you, and we will begin to figure out whether and how I can best help. We will discuss your goals, your desired state, and the steps we can take to get there. My aim is to help you feel some relief and encouragement, even in the initial meeting.
