I have supported adult clients of diverse ages and cultural identities address anxiety, depression, work-related stress, career and life transitions, imposter syndrome, and family of origin issues. In particular, I have extensive experience working with clients navigating early-adulthood as they seek meaning and fulfillment from their work and relationships.

With over 20 years of experience, I provide culturally sensitive psychotherapy to adult individuals and couples ages 18+. In a supportive setting, I strive to create a safe space where clients can focus on personal growth, self-integration, and positive change. I have experience working with issues of depression, anxiety, and various types of loss and bereavement. I also enjoy working with a fair amount of artists and performing artists who are seeking to increase their self-awareness, unblock their creativity and reach their full artistic potential.

Regardless of our problems, we all deserve the chance to feel supported and empowered. My approach to therapy starts by cultivating a safe environment and a positive relationship with my clients, and I like to approach treatment collaboratively. I have many ways to help you achieve your goals in therapy, but only you can be the expert on your own life. Together, we can find ways for you to live a happier, healthier life.

The adage “we repeat what we don’t repair” is especially true of couples. Couples often start therapy knowing that their relationship can and should be better, but they feel powerless to change. Constant fighting, threatening to leave, infidelity, always feeling distant, anxiety and depression—these are signs that something needs to change. Couples therapy with me focuses on helping you and your partner break these cycles by first understanding how they came to be. I offer a unique perspective that emphasizes the importance of exploring unconscious dynamics and your past’s influence in your relationship.

I'm Dr. Kevin Davis, a therapist dedicated to supporting individuals and relationship clients with anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, OCD, and trauma (CPTSD, DID) particularly within the LGBTQ+ community. My approach is empathic and client-centered, while also integrating somatic techniques and third-wave CBT techniques like ACT and DBT. I believe in creating a safe, understanding space, where you can explore at your own pace, fostering personal growth and healing.

My therapeutic approach is shaped by three beliefs: (1) regardless of your past and current situation, you are worthy of love and respect, (2) you have inherent strengths, and (3) systemic oppression plays a role in way we think, feel, and behave; therefore, in therapy, it is important to consider the relationship among systemic oppression, mental health and the multiple identities we hold. As a Black and queer person, I believe showing up as your authentic self is brave and healthy. Together, we will create a safe and non-judgmental space as we work through your goals.

I offer expertise and lived experience in helping Ro mani people, Native Americans, Mixed-Race/culture, and LGBTQIA2S+ peoples.
Relationships and systems can be as uplifting and liberating as much as they can be minimizing and painful. Hu mans have a beautiful tendency to feel a lot of things which can lead to issues in communication, understanding, anxiety, and depression but it is our capacity to develop relationships with these different parts of ourselves through curiosity, compassion, and empathy that help us heal. Within those feelings there is growth and opportunity to find ourselves and our needs. Therapy is a way to find our interconnected parts and how we relate to ourselves and others.

We are all in a perpetual state of changing and growing throughout our lives; it is my belief that we may as well pay attention and guide our growth in a purposeful way. I truly believe that psychotherapy changes lives by creating opportunities for people to become who they should have been all along. By illuminating and examining your viewpoint in a very genuine and thoughtful manner, new perspectives arise naturally through the psychotherapeutic process. It is our job in therapy to together seize upon a new understanding and incorporate it into who you are becoming.

My colleague and I have developed a unique way of helping people that draws upon the latest advances in the field (science) while bring many years of experience to the concerns you have (art).
As a therapist I try to keep two sides of me fully present in our conversations. The first is who I am as a person, striving to feel what the concerns you bring to me must be like "on the inside." The other side is my commitment to the science of what is helpful to people. Through these inner conversations I strive very hard to help you find the care you need. What sets therapy apart from other conversations is the knowledge and experience we bring to our time together. I strive to do this in a personal way.

I work with clients to address many issues affecting mental health and well-being.
Life can be stressful and overwhelming. Feelings of anxiety and depression can occur during challenging times. We all have unique identities and ways of expressing ourselves, and we all view the world and our roles in it in distinctive ways. Non-judgmental, open-minded conversations within the context of a trusting relationship can help. Connecting with someone who can relate to your perspectives helps relieve stress and paves the way to lasting, meaningful change.

I help clients develop "mindfulness" to gain easy access to a self that is integrated and connected with others. I focus not on what is wrong but on what would help restore a sense of sanity and mental health to the expanding experience of life

It is most often the case that my clients find relief in the first few weeks of therapy and subsequently continue to work with me in an open-ended manner that may last a few months to a number of years.
Most people who work with me begin when painful experiences of anxiety and depression interfere with their ability to find enjoyment and satisfaction in relationships and professionally. Psychotherapy with me usually begins with a discussion of the concerns, problems, and distress from which you are suffering and for which you seek relief. The goal of this work is to solve the problems, alleviate the distress, and place the concerns in the context of your personal development. Results of this effort often include increased self-awareness, enhanced self-esteem, recognition of unique strengths and potentials, and more positive feelings.

Treatment planning consists of developing strategies and skills to master these life tasks. Assessment includes Fitness, Sanity, and Mitigation Evaluations, Damages Assessment, USCIS N-648 evaluations and more.

Hello, my name is Bola, and I applaud your willingness to seek help. I strongly believe that everyone wants to do well in life. We don't normally wake up in the morning and say today, we don't want to do well. The struggle is, do we know what to do and how to do them, to do well. We will work collaboratively together to develop solutions to the above. My ideal clients are people who believe they, their relationships, and family can do better than what is currently happening and are open to talk, explore, and navigate the possibility. My clients can expect to feel heard, supported, validated, and challenged to achieve the above.

The willingness to examine oneself—with honesty, curiosity, wonder, but also ambivalence and doubt—might be one of the bravest achievements of any hu man life. Acknowledging and respecting that courage in clients is my first sacred duty as a therapist. From there, we talk. We explore the unconscious dynamics of your life. We work together on getting un-stuck, grasping the multiple ways we can live with others on this beautiful yet fragile world, and building something new for yourself and for future generations.
