Override Hero Title

I have been trained in expressive arts therapy and is a certified gestalt therapist. I utilizes the arts according to each person’s abilities to imagine and develop body awareness. My eclectic approach suits people who seek to find themselves in mental health. As a blind Japanese immigrant, I work especially well with differently-abled people and Pan Asians.

Let me share some information about myself. I am a graduate from Brooklyn College for my BA degree and I attended NYU for my masters degree in social work. I have worked in different setting over the years and really enjoy working with all different age groups. I enjoy families, couples and individuals. I enjoy seeing the progress my clients make once they start to see their own patterns and what they feel they should change.

"Clients start to heal the moment they feel heard".

I specialize in working with adolescents and their families. In my experience as a parent, a mental health counselor and a retired school counselor, I've come to love and appreciate the uniqueness of this age. There are specific challenges and demands that can make this a challenging and difficult time for you, so let's find ways to navigate them together.

My name is Jane Davis, LMHC, licensed in mental health counseling, and I have online appointments throughout the state of NY.

I have a Masters in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling from New York University. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I attained a Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2 subjects--Modern Thought & Literature; and Humanities--and was a literature professor. That experience established my dedication to "helping people help themselves" through expanding their awareness in ways that lead to personal growth. I am originally from NJ, currently live in NY, and have lived in such places as Park Slope, Brooklyn; California; and the Midwest.

The focus of my therapy includes depression, anxiety, trauma-including racialized trauma-as well as borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder.

My clientele consists of people from a wide spectrum of backgrounds and experiences. I typically work with adults, i.e., late teens-e.g., 18 or 19-through seniors. My therapeutic environment emphasizes unconditional positive regard, collaboration, and directness needed to establish therapeutic rapport and thus a therapeutic alliance

I have over 36 years of clinical experience working with a wide variety of clinical disorders. I offer services to a multitude of client populations. I also conduct individual, couples and family therapy sessions.

I hold as fundamental that every person deserves to feel genuinely met. My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in presence: the belief that healing unfolds in the quality of the space between therapist and client.

I practice with a deep attunement to the body, drawing on somatic awareness to help clients reconnect with the wisdom held in their nervous systems, and their narratives.

Alongside this, I bring a profound commitment to deep listening, not simply hearing words, but attending to the subtle rhythms of affect, silence, and sensation that often carry what language cannot.

I approach each person with the conviction that being truly seen and accepted is itself transformative; I strive to meet each client with warmth, curiosity, and an unwavering sense of their inherent worth.

I also hold cultural context as an essential lens, recognizing that our histories, identities, and communities shape how we experience ourselves, our pain, and what healing can look like. Whether working across language, culture, or lived experience, I create a therapeutic relationship that feels genuinely safe, attuned, and affirming of the whole person.

As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) with dual certifications in Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Practice, I provide compassionate, holistic care for both mental and physical well-being. With over 18 years of experience, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space for you to share your story. Whether you’re facing stress, anxiety, or depression, I’m here to guide you toward a healthier, balanced life. Let’s work together toward the life you deserve.

As a clinical psychologist, I assist patients in reshaping negative thought and behavior patterns in a judgement free setting.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker who enjoys helping people discover that something different is possible. Self-defeating patterns of feeling or thought, challenges in your relationships, and the impact of past trauma can leave you feeling stuck and overwhelmed. I offer a space where you can be heard, challenged, and build the awareness necessary to take steps toward change. We’ll work together to address what’s getting in the way of having a life that is more fulfilling and authentic.

I am a Psychologist and New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience providing therapy across higher education, community mental health, private practice, and training settings.

My professional background includes work in college counseling centers, community mental health, domestic violence and trauma-informed settings, multicultural behavioral health clinics, and private practice. This breadth allows me to understand both the personal and systemic factors that shape emotional well-being. Clients often describe me as grounded, thoughtful, direct when needed, and deeply attuned.
