Getting to know Brenda Davis

Hello, my name is Brenda Davis, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's in Psychology from Antioch University ? Los Angeles. My approach I use CBT, DBT, and mindfulness in therapy. I work with my clients to identify ways to cope with stress and develop problem-solving strategies. I incorporate mindfulness techniques and encourage journaling and deep breathing exercises to support their growth. My focus I typically work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and stress-related issues. I feel comfortable helping clients learn new problem-solving skills, process their thoughts and feelings, and engage in role-playing exercises to build confidence. My communication style I strive to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel free to express themselves. I often use role-playing exercises so clients can practice expressing themselves in real-life conflict situations. If a client feels uncomfortable at any point, we can pause and revisit the issue when they are ready. My journey to mental healthcare From a young age, I enjoyed helping others in various situations. Over time, I realized becoming a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist was my calling. What drives me is witnessing the positive changes in others. I also aim to educate people from diverse cultures that seeking therapy is okay. Coming from a background where therapy was often frowned upon, becoming a therapist has empowered me to share that therapy is a valuable resource. My goals for you I approach goal setting by asking clients what they want to work on and collaborating to create a treatment plan. We discuss progress and challenges weekly to ensure we are moving toward their goals together.
