Dr. Marissa Davis

My clients describe me as:

warm, inquisitive, pensive, playful, and direct.

Something to know about my approach is:

I hold space for you to discuss experiences, identity, and relationships. Using a psychodynamic approach, we'll explore thoughts, memories, feelings, and associations which will uncover hidden defenses and motives for behaviors you'd like to change.

Together, we will:

discuss the aspects of yourself that have gone unspoken, difficult to name, misunderstood, or overlooked by others. We'll clarify how your past is imprinted onto your present and create new paths to fulfillment, self-acceptance, and relational peace.

I specialize in working with people who:

are seeking help with trauma, relationships, and anxiety. I help individuals and couples identify and change the undercurrents driving their reactions, behaviors, and post-traumatic stress from interpersonal trauma.

I became a therapist because:

I am energized by helping people feel understood, face life's ups and downs, and change for the better.
