Dava Wilson, LCSW

Psychotherapist
KY
Hi there! I'm Dr. Dava Wilson, LCSW. I have an affinity for people navigating heavy burdens like trauma, or experiencing misunderstood issues such as veterans and military families facing non-civilian transitions. I have a passion for those who've felt unheard or unresponded to in past therapeutic circumstances. In my practice, trauma-informed care is central, valuing your narrative and the uniqueness of your responses. I maintain a focus on establishing secure and trustworthy relationships. I'm versed in DBT, CBT, and other proven methods, also emphasizing platonic connection and sometimes unconventional creativity. One reflection of my non-traditional approach is the use of Dungeons & Dragons for addressing intricate traumas, highlighting my innovative intent within therapy. My objective is to procure what works for you, rather than following textbook prescriptions. My qualifications include a Traumatology doctorate from Liberty University and a License as a Clinical Social Work Supervisor across six states. Apart from my Telehealth practice, I instruct up-and-coming social workers at a State University. During time-off, I can be found probing into the connection between play and healing, staying engaged with Fort Campbell's military community, or researching the making of mental health care more accessible. Other pleasure pursuits include photography, culinary creations, and crafting. Effective therapy stems from genuine insight and understanding. My role is to provide a setting where you can openly confront hardships, foresee possibilities, and have the power to script the ensuing chapter of your life. Your journey towards healing starts here and I'm honored you're considering me to accompany you.
