Dr. Allie Davis

You thought you'd feel different by now. The anxiety won't quiet. The birth keeps replaying. Something about motherhood feels harder than anyone warned you. This practice exists for exactly that: pregnancy, postpartum, birth trauma, and the identity shift of becoming a mother.

I have 14 years of clinical experience and completed postdoctoral training at Columbia, all centered on perinatal mental health. My clients come to me because they want focused expertise from someone who has devoted her career to this work.

Somatic therapy address how birth trauma and postpartum anxiety live in the body, not just the mind. I bring a narrative lens to what stories you want to take forward into motherhood, or leave behind. I also have a neurodivergence specialty and understand how this can complicate the transition into motherhood. Sessions are collaborative and we'll work at a pace that honors the complexity of what you're carrying rather than rushing toward resolution.

The first session is about being heard fully. We'll talk about what brought you here, what you're carrying, and what support would actually look like for you. Most clients say they feel less alone by the end of the hour — and clearer about what they need.
