Getting to know Davina Porter

“One day, you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through, and it will be someone else’s survival guide.” Life can sometimes feel like a journey without direction—like you’re walking aimlessly, struggling to find your place. When past experiences leave you feeling jaded, doubt can take up more space than hope. You may find yourself questioning your worth, battling intrusive thoughts, and wondering if the world has room for someone like you. If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone. Healing is possible. Through therapy, you can begin to unpack your experiences, gain clarity, and transform your pain into power. By exploring your core beliefs, behavioral patterns, childhood wounds, and relational dynamics, you can redefine your truth and align with your purpose. As your therapist, my role is to support you in that journey—helping you move through the challenges that have held you back so you can step into a life that feels more authentic, fulfilling, and empowered. “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” — C.S. Lewis Just to share a bit more about myself, I have my master’s degree in social work from Hunter College, specializing in children and families. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of advocating for and supporting clients as a licensed social worker in various settings, including the family shelter system, foster care system, NYS psychiatric hospitals, Kings County Alternative to Incarceration program, and public schools. In addition, I provide ABA therapy to young toddlers on the autism spectrum. My work in these diverse environments deepened my passion for the therapeutic aspects of care, leading me to focus on one-on-one psychotherapy, which I have been providing since 2022.
