Thomas Davis

I’m Thomas, and I named my practice Cuan, which is Irish for harbor: a place to steady yourself before heading back out. Most of my days are spent working with teens and families in a partial hospitalization program, the level of care people reach when things have gotten really hard. That work taught me to stay calm when everything feels urgent, and to keep coming back to what actually matters to the person in front of me. In my own practice, I work with adolescents and adults, especially people in high-pressure jobs like healthcare, first response, and leadership. I also work with adults making sense of a recent ADHD or autism diagnosis after years of wondering why some things felt harder for them than for everyone else. Outside of sessions, I’m skiing in the winter, hiking in the summer, and usually planning my next trip and what I'll eat when I get there.

I’m an active therapist. I’ll ask questions, give you my honest take, and often suggest we try something right there in the session. My work is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In plain terms, that means less time and energy spent trying to get rid of anxiety, self-doubt, or exhaustion, and more time and energy put toward what you care about: your relationships, your work or school, and the kind of person you want to be even when the pressure is on. In my experience, most people who come in aren’t broken. You've been working hard to make things work and keep things together, and that strategies that once seemed to help may now feel like they aren't doing enough.

Our first session is a conversation, not an interview. I’ll want to hear what’s brought you in, what life looks like right now, and what you’d like to be different. You don’t need to have the words for it yet, and you don’t have to tell me everything at once. Before we finish, we’ll talk about what to focus on first and how we’ll both know it’s working.

If you’re a parent reaching out for your teen, we’ll talk about how to involve you along the way.
