Cecily Davis
Are you ready for change even if you aren't sure what that looks like? Many of my clients carry heavy emotional, intellectual, or professional loads. Therapy with me is a place to exhale, be honest, and feel deeply cared for. I help people navigating stress, anxiety, racial identity concerns, trauma, and sexual wellness issues feel grounded, connected, and less alone. Here, you don’t have to be the strong one.
First session
In our first session, we’ll start with warm intros followed by a structured intake so I can understand what brings you in, what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping to change. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to get a clear picture of your history, your strengths, and the patterns that feel important. From there, we’ll shift into getting to know each other: how you show up, how I work, and what helps you feel safe and understood. As we settle in, we’ll open space for whatever feels most needed in the moment, whether that’s grounding, clarity, or simply having a place to exhale. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling seen, supported, and confident about the path we’re beginning together.
Strengths
I bring a calm, steady presence and a strong ability to translate complex emotional experiences into language that feels clear and validating. I’m skilled at noticing patterns, asking thoughtful questions, and helping clients make sense of what they’re feeling in a way that feels safe rather than overwhelming. My approach is trauma‑informed and grounded in EMDR, somatic awareness, and attachment work, allowing me to hold both the emotional weight and the practical steps needed for healing.
Ideal clients
I’m best positioned to serve clients who carry a lot emotionally, mentally, or professionally and rarely have a place where they can set it all down. These are often the helpers, the problem solvers, the steady ones who keep going even when they feel overwhelmed or disconnected inside. They may be navigating trauma, chronic stress, identity concerns, burnout, or relationship patterns that no longer feel sustainable. They’re looking for a space where they don’t have to perform or explain, where their inner world is taken seriously, and where complexity is met with warmth, clarity, and structure. I work best with people who want to understand themselves more deeply, regulate their emotions more effectively, and build a life that feels aligned, grounded, and genuinely their own.
Treatment methods
EMDR
EMDRIA Certified Therapist and Approved Consultant with advanced training in complex trauma and dissociation.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
My approach is collaborative and personalized. It is non-directive, humanistic emphasizing personal growth and self-actualization with the therapeutic relationship being the key to change. We might use practical tools to calm anxiety, body‑based strategies to release stress, or trauma‑focused therapies to heal what’s been carried for too long. I draw from CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Somatic work, Attachment theory, and EMDR (among other therapies and tools) to support your unique needs.
Attachment-based
Attachment-based therapy helps you understand how early relationships shaped your patterns of connection and protection. In treatment, we use a steady, attuned therapeutic relationship, along with trauma approaches like EMDR, to give your nervous system a corrective experience of safety. This supports more secure attachment, healthier connection, and better emotional regulation.
Somatic
Somatic, or mind‑body therapy, helps you reconnect with the physical sensations, impulses, and emotions your body holds. Instead of staying only in your thoughts, we slow down and notice what your nervous system is doing when we experience tension, breath, posture, or protective patterns. By working with the body directly, you can release stored survival responses, feel more grounded, and build a deeper sense of safety and regulation.
