Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Blacklick, OH

I am nurturing, yet direct in my approach and see working towards tangible change as important. Therapy in my office is always client led coupled with some therapist guided cognitive changes to approaching problems and setting concrete goals. I come with 20 years of clinical experience working with individuals, families as well as with couples and groups. My experience has stemmed from a variety of settings including domestic violence shelters, psychiatric units, juvenile detention centers, college campuses and private practice.

In a busy, hectic, fast-paced world, we sometimes find ourselves overwhelmed and needing somewhere safe and calm to breathe. Therapy can be a space where someone finds the time to relieve the stress of work, family/relationships and other psychosocial issues related to life in today's world. By addressing these needs, the person can become whole again and live the satisfying life they want. For consultation or to schedule an appointment, I can be reached at 614-354-7006.

I'm Dr. Latoya D. Davis, an LPC with 20+ years of experience, licensed by the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board. My counseling approach blends nurturing support with goal-oriented strategies, focusing on client-led sessions and cognitive techniques like CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I specialize in individual counseling for adults dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, relationships, and trauma, integrating mindfulness and creativity to enrich therapy. Let's embark on your journey to growth and wellness together.

I strive to provide positive, empathetic, non-judgmental, collaborative, and encouraging services with each client, working to match my approach to their individual needs and concerns. I help clients zoom out to see the bigger picture and zoom in to see the strengths that they bring to every situation. I listen, support, and value my clients’ beliefs while challenging them to reflect on how these developed and where these are leading them. This informs my counseling mantra, “Be a Lighthouse” - to act as a guide to help each person find their way through the storms, rocky coasts, and challenges of life.

I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment to help you work toward healing, empowerment, and reaching client-centered goals. I believe in treating the whole person, using mind-body approaches to treatment. I work with adolescents and adults on a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, infertility, traumatic birth, and pregnancy loss.

You just want to breathe. You just want to hope. You just want to know that there can be a better tomorrow, a fresh start. You have tried it alone for long enough, and you have decided that it's time to bring in some reinforcements. At Fresh Start, we see each person as an individual and seek to fit treatment to his or her needs. We will be fair. We will be compassionate. We will be honest. We will be in it for as long as you are able or willing. Life can beat you up. It's not your fault. Give yourself the support you need in a judgment-free, kind, honest space. What do you have to lose?

20 + years helping youth, adults and families work through grief and trauma, restore relationships, and build healthier thought and behavior patterns with a focus on helping clients in transition or facing a dilemma. Are you tired of feeling sad, alone, or hopeless…of being angry for no apparent reason…or of taking out your frustrations on others? You are not responsible for what happens to you, but you are responsible to deal with it. I'm here to help you become aware of your unhealthy thinking patterns and behavior choices. I'll listen, ask great questions, and keep it real-with compassion and a sense of humor.

Every person has their own unique path. On this path, we are faced with obstacles and challenges that, at times, can feel too big for us or simply halt our forward progression. We have two choices - we can allow those challenges to continue to prevent our forward progression, or we can work through those challenges to allow us to clear the path so we can continue on our journey of having a more fulfilling life. If you are reading this, you have taken the first step in making the choice that you no longer want your challenges to dictate your quality of life.

As we progress into the second year of being limited in traveling, gathering and socializing, we are finding ourselves less able to avoid our triggers, struggles, self image and overcome messages of being misunderstood and alone. For some, these last two years have caused more strain than strength within your relationship with children, family and or your partner. No matter the situation that brings a person to counseling the goal is to find a supportive, strength based, experienced, and compassionate clinician who will also challenge them to see that beyond the immediate storm there are blooming flowers.

I am here to help you navigate through life's difficult circumstances. When you find yourself traveling down a path that is filled with stress, worry, pain, and/or grief, I will help you identify and draw on your strengths. You may not enjoy the things that used to make you smile. Perhaps, you are facing a family challenge that sparks ongoing conflict and tension. What ever you are experiencing, don't go through it alone! Allow me to partner with you to capture lost joy, build healthy relationships, and grow personally.

Through counseling you can find hope, learn new ways to cope, improve relationships, and experience relief from mental health and life challenges. At Hawk Counseling, you will receive the support you need to heal from past wounds, cope with life stress and move forward on your life path.

It’s fine. I'm fine. Everything is FINE! How many times have we said that to ourselves or others and deep down we know it isn't true? Sometimes it’s just easier to tell ourselves that rather than get to the root of the problem. Are you a highly functioning person who feels more anxious, unsettled, alone, frustrated, or empty than you’d like? Ongoing optimism, a growth-mindset, acceptance, and a nonjudgmental space help my clients move forward. I have previously worked with a diverse range of clients at Ohio Wesleyan University, in various public and private education roles, and in several corporate positions.
