Attachment-based Therapists in Raleigh, NC

I emphasize the therapeutic relationship and collaborative nature of our work together. Perhaps you’ve found yourself feeling stuck in repetitive patterns that sabotage your desire and ability to connect deeply with yourself and others. I help you connect the dots from your past and clarify your communications so you can translate your thoughts and emotions into words. Once you see the past in a different light, you are able to act more authentically in the present and enjoy life more. My time with you is a chance to work toward inner peace, self-awareness, and owning your truth, to become more present in a life you want to live.

Accepting New Clients., What kind of person do you really want to be? For yourself, for your relationships, for your community? What is getting in the way? I partner with individuals and couples that want a life of peace and purpose. I can not erase pain and hardship, however, I can provide guidance in creating the life YOU want in the midst of life’s inevitable ups and downs. From the beginning we will clarify your goals and practice skills together in order to bring the changes you desire.

Hi there! I’m Ashley Davis, a licensed marriage and family therapist (or LMFT) in the state of North Carolina. I’m originally from the Triangle, and I love being able to make a positive impact in the community I grew up in through my work with the clients I serve. Being an LMFT, I have a unique approach to therapy, in that I approach therapy first and foremost from a systemic perspective. This essentially means that I place a large amount of emphasis on how people’s relationships, environments, and backgrounds affect their overall mental wellness and explore these areas in depth with my clients.

Feeling stuck and motionless in a relationship is an all-too-common feeling. So many couples struggle with sex issues, talking about vulnerable topics, and having the same fights over and over again. Finding the "right person" and putting in the effort it takes to keep a relationship going is HARD, and our histories and relationship patterns don’t always help us do that. Patterns- not situations- keep us from moving forward. As a licensed psychologist specializing in relationships and sexuality, I’m here to help organize the mess and provide a path forward, whether that’s with couples or individuals who need some guidance.

Most individuals I see are trying find out “Why am I this way? Why do I feel this way? Why am I acting this way?” They are troubled by anxious thoughts, depressive states, and low self – esteem. They suffered from feelings of inadequacy and have a hard time regulating their emotions. They struggle with forming and maintaining healthy relationships because they keep repeating self – defeating patterns of behaviors that include becoming anxiously fearful that their partner may leave or engaging in superficial relationships that lack intimacy and closeness. Most of them carry beliefs that they are damaged or broken and that they can't

There is nothing more painful than the death of a loved one. Taking a first step to engage in therapy could be a very difficult decision. If you are here, it means that you have decided to take a step towards your healing. Grief is not only the loss of a loved one, but may also be a life changing event such as the end of a relationship, moving to a new country, or a change in living conditions. Losses can be both sudden and predictable. Predictable losses have the added layer of waiting for the loss to happen, followed by the loss itself. Grieving can be overwhelming and isolating. Find in our sessions a safe space to heal.

Take a breath. You can slow down. Engage with your body, your mind, your emotions. I will reflect your insight and help you observe your body's signals to generate trust in your own intuition. Our collaborative relationship creates a space for inquiry, nuance, and compassion. We will build an arsenal of skills but, more importantly, we will work on noticing when to utilize, how attune to your body's signals, and how to make space for your personhood. You are the expert on you; I am an expert on therapeutic strategy, and together we can create a path out of the stuck places.

Experiencing ongoing, underlying anger? Having difficulty concentrating at times? Or problems sleeping? Overly anxious or feeling depressed? Or, is life a bit overwhelming at this time? If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, know I understand that living life with these issues saps your joy, making it hard to move forward. As a dance/movement therapist, I use movement to provide a physical dimension to traditional “talk” therapies. Dance therapy allows clients to embody their thoughts and feelings, as well as to practice “walking-through” potential solutions.

NOT taking new clients! Do you struggle with feeling happy, communicating clearly, or building fulfilling relationships? Are you aware of how past trauma is still affecting you? Understanding your past can be the key to your future! Together, we will explore issues such as survival of interpersonal violence, an addicted parent, witnessing a violent event, natural disasters and other traumatic events that have contributed to your addictive behaviors, mental illness, or unhealthy relationships. With this knowledge we will discuss healthy coping skills, building a support network, and planning for safety in the face of your triggers.

Is the hurt of a traumatic past still weighing on you? Or maybe you’re struggling with a toxic relationship or can’t find the confidence to stand up for yourself. I can help you learn to let go of the past. Even if it’s been months, years or even decades, there is hope. The idea of rebuilding our life is daunting, but not impossible. Above all, I help people cope with anxiety, depression and substance abuse to get back to living life to the fullest and being the best version of themselves.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist with extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I am also an assistant professor of Marriage and Family Therapy and a clinical supervisor. I have been able to help many couples and families acquire the necessary skills needed to cope with very real relational problems (e.g., communication issues, infidelity, and power dynamics). I also help individuals from multiple cultural and ethnic backgrounds struggling with anxiety, depression, acculturation, and discrimination/oppression issues. I am committed to offering you a safe space where you can grow.
