Brian Davis LPC My approach to therapy can be summarized as being focused on the therapeutic relationship. warm, direct, and collaborative. As the therapeutic relationship grows, I at times challenge clients to grow; however, I believe communication should be bidirectional, and I insist on clients being allowed to challenge me back and have a voice on where we take treatment. In session, I often do attachment work which often powerfully helps clients to understand how their histories and relationships within their families of origin may be impact how they presently relate to themselves and others.

Do you feel stuck in life? Do you find yourself questioning why you do the things you do, day in and day out? We all come to certain points in our lives where we take a look in the mirror and ask ourselves “who have I become?” Whether it be a momentary season of life - or a life long hardship - grief, trauma, self-worth, and relationship issues can plague us and steal our ability to fully engage in the lives we dreamed of. Instead, we settle for the isolation and suffering we know because those hopes and dreams feel unattainable. I am a firm believer that there is hope for change and hope for a brighter future.

Do you ever feel like you can't seem to find your happy place in life? Like everything you're doing isn't working and you're stuck in a cycle that doesn't work for you? Most of the individuals I work with have struggled in these cycles for some time and are wanting to find a way to build a life they want to live. As a therapist, I help people identify what goals they want to achieve and create a plan to get there.
