I have over 4 years post graduate school experience helping adults, teens, and children within the therapy setting.
I'm no stranger to depression, anxiety, trauma, or substance use. There's a place for you here. Pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea and I'll bring myself my daily iced coffee, because cold coffee starts the day right, and let's talk. I work to be inviting, understanding and to make people comfortable when in sessions, while also keeping boundaries and working to use evidence-based approaches. I enjoy working with adults-those that are struggling with just adulting to those that are juggling babies and work as well as those that are working on their recovery journey.

You’re a high-achieving professional who’s used to giving, performing, and managing — but lately, it’s starting to feel unsustainable. You keep showing up for others, but somewhere along the way, your peace, joy, and sense of self have taken a back seat. You don’t have to keep carrying it all alone.

Hello! I'm Evan Davies, I specialize working with substance use, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Alongside my specialties I have a knack for helping people that go to therapy feeling ambivalent as to what they're looking for, what they're struggling with or how to describe it. I want everyone to know that they're welcomed. Finding a therapist that you feel is a good fit and just therapy in of itself can be difficult. Being aware of that helps me strive to meet people where they're at, modify my approach accordingly and help with any barriers during the onboarding process.

Are you hurting? Is your family hurting from unresolved trauma? Do you wish for peace in your home and relationships? I work with adults, children, and families that have experienced trauma, adoption, or attachment concerns. When you are struggling, it is often hard to see hope or the light at the end of the tunnel. Our primary attachments in our lives form a roadmap for all future relationships. When trauma or an attachment break happens, that throws us off course reeling and hurting. I help others find their compass to their roadmap of relationships so they can find joy in their lives and others again.

Do you struggle with feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, and thoughts about not being good enough? Do you find yourself worrying about your intimate and platonic relationships? Do you often get accused of "overreacting" to a situation? You’re not alone! My approach is warm, interactive, and non-judgmental.

I have worked with individuals, children, and adolescents, through out my career to help individuals and their families receive emotional healing.
Many people have been wounded during childhood and carry the emotional wounds into adulthood. If not dealt with they continue to shape our thinking and experiences. These wounds often surface in our lives as addictions, compulsions, marital discord, depression, chronic unhappiness, anxiety, disturbance of sleep, and a distorted view of ourselves and those around us.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
