Dr. Sameerah Davenport

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a Doctorate in Counselor Education from Wayne State University. I am also a certified EMDR therapist and currently serve as full-time faculty and Clinical Coordinator in the Counselor Education program at Wayne State University. My clinical work focuses on using evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I specialize in treating PTSD, anxiety, and depression, as well as concerns related to emotional regulation, stress, and life transitions.

I take a collaborative, client-centered approach to counseling grounded in trust, respect, and openness. I create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences at their own pace. I help clients shift unhelpful thinking patterns, build emotional regulation skills, and process difficult experiences to support healing and growth. I strive to remain attentive to each client’s unique background, values, and goals.

In the first session, you can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can share your concerns at your own pace. I focus on building rapport, understanding your current challenges, and identifying your goals for therapy. Together, we will begin developing a plan to guide our work. You will also leave with a clearer understanding of the therapy process and next steps
