Real quick...take a second...close your eyes, breath deep, let it out slowly, open your eyes...okay. Welcome - my name is Dr. Taijah Davis, EdD a licensed therapist specializing in treating individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, and relationship challenges. I work with adults 19-45 and specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship problems using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR. Additionally, I specialize in premaratial and marriage counseling which addresses communication challenges, emotional disconnection, unresolved conflicts, and patterns hinder relationship growth, helping partners build understanding and strengthen their bond.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming environment where we’ll take time to get to know each other. We’ll discuss your goals and challenges, and I’ll introduce you to the basics of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, we’ll start exploring the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be contributing to your struggles, and I’ll support you in developing strategies to create positive change. It’s all about taking the first step toward feeling better and gaining more control over your life!
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as I find this modality to be extremely effective in addressing the therapeutic needs of clients experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, and numerous other mental health disorders. I also find Solution Focused therapy to be extremely beneficial in developing and obtaining specific client goals. Lastly, I utilize The Gottman Method when working with couples in premarital and marriage counseling to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy; and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I would argue that my biggest strength is being able to connect and build authentic, long-lasting, relationships with my clients. Walking into therapy can be scary, so I make it a priority to develop a space where clients are comfortable being themselves -- free of judgment and criticism. We all have baggage. We will work together to turn our checked bags into carry-ons.
