What’s hapnin’? Hi there! I’m Nailah Davis, a graduate student studying Somatic Counseling at Naropa University. I have the privilege to be with humans as they navigate the “in between”. I assist people in learning how to listen to that freedom inside and believe in it. Our worlds influence how we relate to ourselves and each other. I believe when we become aware of our influential contexts, we can make choices to live more authentically.
In our space, we do your process together. The word counsel comes from Latin and means “to summon advice together”. Not only just me and you, but with our spirituality, ancestors, and bodies.

As a psychotherapist, I partner with individuals who want to work with/on their relationships, family dynamics, trauma (past or present), grief, identity, anxiety, and/or depression.

For years I have worked with clients who are moving through major life transitions and grief, or working with depression, anxiety, or psychological trauma. When we suffer from distress, I believe we are simply "forgetting" our natural wisdom and the fundamental health that lies beneath our outward problems. Underlying my work is a essential belief that we are on a human journey to learn deep lessons and celebrate the gift of being human - this implies my optimistic view of human psychological distress.

I specialize in helping people overcome complex and “difficult-to-treat” problems. Clients often come to therapy feeling "stuck" and wanting more freedom in their choices. I work with clients to help identify and bring light to the strategies that we often use to avoid our feelings and keep us locked in patterns we want to shift.

One of the primary modalities I use is Internal Family Systems, a gentle and effective process that facilitates internal harmony and the healing of old wounds.
When you are struggling with anxiety, depression, loss, grief, relationship issues, addictive processes, chronic illness, or any other life challenge that creates doubt and uncertainty, it's easy to feel alone and overwhelmed.
Lasting relief and healing often require addressing what's underneath your symptoms, and that takes courage. Finding the right support to facilitate this inward journey can be the key to transforming fear and limitation into greater self-awareness, self-compassion, resilience, and inner strength.

I see individuals 12 years+, couples, families experiencing anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, relational issues, highly sensitive or neurodivergent issues, gender identity, transgender, fertility issues, and divorce.
After 37 years in practice, I continue to witness the power of "the talking cure". Through use of language, while relating to a therapist, we come to know ourselves intimately and are able to discover what is at the root of painful thoughts, feelings and actions. Feeling seen, heard, understood and accepted is key to restoring hope as well as alleviating pain and suffering. Deep and abiding change can occur because an authentic relationship with a caring, and skilled, therapist allows for exploration, and working through, of painful, scary and difficult feelings.

Many of the people I work with are high-functioning professionals who are used to being competent and in control but want a place to examine themselves honestly. Maybe anger surprised them, a relationship decision doesn’t sit right, or they notice patterns they can’t fully explain. They aren’t looking for surface reassurance. They want thoughtful reflection, psychological depth, and a place to understand what’s driving their behavior so they can move forward with greater clarity, integrity, and choice.

Family Therapy Therapists
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
