Create meaningful change.

THERAPY WITH RESEARCH.
A SPACE THAT FEELS HUMAN

Hi, I’m Michelle Davis

My goal in working with individuals and couples is to lead with curiosity and genuine connection, to create an environment that is
judgment-free and in which people feel understood. I believe that feeling seen, heard, and accepted is the key to transformation and healing. Only then can the journey toward greater emotional resilience, better relationships and connections, and healing from difficult experiences and emotions take place.

​

  • Licensed in California and Ohio 

  • Practicing LPCC  since 2018

  • EMDR trained since 2018, EMDR certified since 2022 

  • Gottman level 3 trained 

 

My approach is collaborative, research-based, and integrative. In addition to EMDR and the Gottman method, I utilize CBT, IFS, attachment theory, and mindfulness to create an individualized approach for each of my clients. I enjoy helping my clients dig deeper and learn about themselves and am well-versed in a variety of philosophical foundations, including yoga and Eastern philosophy, Stoicism, and Christian theology. I meet each and every one of my clients with warmth, compassion, and a genuine desire to help.

 

Expect thoughtful questions, practical tools and (yes) sometimes a little humor along the way.

You don’t need to be in crisis to know something 
isn’t working.

Maybe you’re noticing patterns you can’t seem to change, feeling disconnected from yourself or someone you love, or carrying something that continues to affect you. Therapy can help you understand what’s underneath it, and decide what comes next.
