Modern relationships are HARD. It’s a struggle to find the right person OR to wonder if your current partner is possibly the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your path. Maybe you’ve even made choices or overlooked things you now regret. Or, maybe it’s a relationship with a boss or coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires or just avoiding things way more than you should. You’re past thinking that life’s fair. But, you never thought that things could go THIS wrong or get under your skin THIS much.

A lot of men grow up believing they need to handle everything alone. Stress, anger, relationship problems, divorce, burnout, anxiety, feeling emotionally shut down — many men carry these struggles quietly for years before reaching out for help. I work with men who are tired of just “getting through” life and want to understand what’s actually going on underneath the surface. Therapy with me is straightforward, honest, and focused on helping you make real changes — not endless talking without direction.

My name is Adelia Davis, and I am a licensed clinical social worker who works with children, adolescents, and families, with a focus on anxiety, trauma, and emotional regulation. I am passionate about helping clients give voice to their family narratives and shift patterns that no longer serve them, while building practical, evidence-based skills for lasting change.

I am committed to providing effective, empirically tested, affordable treatment. My approach is honest, collaborative, interactive, and nonjudgmental. Often in life we buy into stories about ourselves that seem to protect us but ultimately prevent us from moving toward the things we value. We get caught up in judging whether a behavior is good or bad, rather than asking if it is effective in creating the life that we envision.
