Jane Davis

My name is Jane Davis, LMHC, licensed in mental health counseling, and I have online appointments throughout the state of NY.

I have a Masters in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling from New York University. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I attained a Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2 subjects--Modern Thought & Literature; and Humanities--and was a literature professor. That experience established my dedication to "helping people help themselves" through expanding their awareness in ways that lead to personal growth. I am originally from NJ, currently live in NY, and have lived in such places as Park Slope, Brooklyn; California; and the Midwest.

The focus of my therapy includes depression, anxiety, trauma-including racialized trauma-as well as borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder.

My clientele consists of people from a wide spectrum of backgrounds and experiences. I typically work with adults, i.e., late teens-e.g., 18 or 19-through seniors. My therapeutic environment emphasizes unconditional positive regard, collaboration, and directness needed to establish therapeutic rapport and thus a therapeutic alliance

Theoretical approaches I use commonly include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy; Trauma Informed Therapy; some aspects of psychodynamic therapy.

Through focused discussions, clients come to a deeper understanding of the issues and challenges they want to explore and resolve, as well as what actions to consider taking in order to make progress
