Fog, Heavy Rain, Snow and Smoke are all elements that can impair ones visibility. Well how about chaos, emotional instability, anxiety, depression, clutter, stress?

Hello, my name is Lori Davis. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in psychotherapy with a specialty in geriatrics. I feel it is an honor to assist clients as a supportive, collaborative, and empathetic facilitator in mental health, emotional well-being, and developing resilience. I typically work with adults, seniors, and couples dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, health, grief, loss, and parenting issues.

If you or your child are struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, adjustment issues, trauma, grief and loss, or low self-esteem I can help. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience in the field.

Finding our strengths is an intangible but important part of living. We may find strength from relationships, growing opportunities, self awareness and devoting our energy to values we consider more important than ourselves. In entering therapy, the client's relationship with the therapist can be a step in finding that strength. I specialize in adults, either in individual therapy or with the partner. I also have experience in family therapy involving teenagers and young adults. I have experience in anger management, grief, work related stress and problems of isolation.

As you journey through life, you may find yourself in difficult times that may cause confusion, anxiety, or depression. You may experience difficulty with your spouse or partner, a child or teen, phase of life changes, or the loss of a loved one. It is during these times that you may need someone to talk to and to walk with you, to listen non-judgmentally, compassionately and with understanding - instilling hope and healing. My hope is to help you find your strengths, and have a deeper understanding of your gifts.

I am not religious but very spiritual and enjoy discussing spiritual issues. I employ techniques from many modalities including CBT, art therapy, experiential therapy, humanistic therapy, and more.

I have helped my clients to address relationship challenges, career stresses and transitions, depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and the effects of past trauma. Among others, I work with individuals facing tough transitions, grappling with questions about identity and purpose, suffering grief or loss, or struggling in their relationships. In our first session we will talk about what brings you to therapy, and together develop a plan that directly addresses your needs. My style is non judgmental and interactive, providing a safe place where you can heal, gain insight, and together we'll make way for growth.

I specialize in working with people who are trying to untangle the threads of relationships-whether it's relationships with family, friends, children, significant others, or even your relationship with yourself.

However you name your experience, my goal is to provide a safe place where we can explore your story, untangle the knots, and re-weave those threads.

Thank you for visiting and for considering therapy with me. I hope this is the beginning of a wonderful therapeutic relationship, where you can expect growth and new insights. A little about myself: I graduated from Smith College School of Social Work (Massachusetts) in 2006. My career has been rich and varied, for which I am truly grateful, having over 16+ years of experience, from outpatient therapy for individuals, couples and families, residential and PACT teams, and medical social work in an ER and transplant center. I currently work with adults in individual therapy in my private practice.

I am here to help you navigate life's challenges, worries, and pitfalls that we all face as we go through the human experience. Stress, anxiety, low self worth, behavioral acting out, substance abuse, poor communication, trauma, depression, family conflicts, loss, crisis, and all of the diverse conflicts that we can experience through life can be hard on our own. These problems are best approached as a team. I would love to work together as we face them in a united front. I have experience that goes beyond the textbook and can relate to much of the challenges that life brings. Sincerity, compassion, and truly caring are fundamental.

Your life is impacted by many things. Your individual family history and your unique life experiences influence how you see yourself and interact with others. You may find yourself overwhelmed, confused, and unable to change behavior. Your previous ways of coping no longer work, yet you don't have the tools to make any changes. The good news is that things can change for the better. You have the power within you, with professional help and guidance, to make life- altering changes. I provide a lot of feedback and things to think about. I ask questions that elicit changes in perceptions and result in insight that moves you forward.
