Associate Clinician

Jessie Davis, AMFT

As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I focus on guiding individuals, couples, and families towards healthier, more fulfilling relationships. I believe that the relationship we have with ourselves informs the relationships we have with others. Grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy and attachment-based models, I hold a client-centered approach that works to improve communication, emotional regulation and self-esteem. Further, I am passionate about helping clients enhance intimacy and physical connection within the context of relationships. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive and affirming environment for a diverse range of clients. I am also a sex-positive therapist with a compassionate understanding of polyamory and ethical non-monogamy. I invite you to step into a space of authenticity and empowerment, where we'll work together to create meaningful change in your relationships and in your life.

As part of my continued professional growth, I participate in weekly supervision with practice owner and EFT supervisor Michelle Cantrell, LPCC. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy by ICEEFT and continue to participate in learning opportunities to enhance my clinical skills.
