My approach

​

The intake process is used as a way to make sure the client feels comfortable moving forward. The treatment plan looks different for everyone but she starts by asking the client what their needs and expectations are in therapy.  She listens attentively and genuinely cares about each client. She caters to each clients needs with an eclectic approach (blend of treatment methods) that includes : acceptance and commitment therapy, solution focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing and person centered therapy. With a genuine passion for cultural understanding and a commitment to ensuring equitable mental health care, Ms. Davidson continues to make a significant impact in the lives of her clients. Her empathetic approach, combined with her multicultural background, allows her to foster meaningful connections, promote healing, and empower individuals from all walks of life.

                                                                                          

                                                                                                      Why is telehealth awesome?

​

She really loves working through telehealth so she can reach clients all over the United States. There is no need to wait in a lobby or to even wear shoes. It's nice to have the freedom to be at home in the comfort of your own safe space.
