Ebony L. Davis MSW, MPA, LCSW-C, SAP

Welcome

Therapy for adults carrying a lot—and ready to understand what is underneath it.

Practical, culturally responsive therapy for adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, burnout, racial and workplace stress, self-doubt, and major life transitions.Large

My approach: solution-focused, skills-based, and compassion focused

Therapy with me includes both reflection and action.

Insight matters, but so does what you do with it.

Most sessions

include:

What sessions are like

  • a quick check-in (what worked, what didn’t)

  • targeted coaching-style therapy on one problem

  • a strategy you can use immediately

  • a short practice plan (“homework”) that we refine over time

What We Do Together

Who I Work Best With

I work with adults who carry significant personal and professional responsibilities, including first-generation professionals, immigrants, veterans, and parents. Many of my clients face challenges such as shame, guilt, self-doubt, perfectionism, and overfunctioning due to past experiences and chronic stress.

Culturally Responsive Therapy

Your experiences do not happen in a vacuum.

I help clients name racism and systemic pressures when they are present rather than automatically treating every struggle as an individual problem.

Together, we may explore workplace dynamics, cultural and family expectations, first-generation experiences, identity, generational patterns, relationships, and your own responses and choices.

Some problems are systemic. Some patterns are personal. Often, both are operating at the same time.

Therapy gives us room to examine those layers without blame or judgment.


ADHD & Executive Functioning

ADHD and executive functioning challenges can affect time management, task initiation, emotional regulation, follow-through, money, work, parenting, relationships, and confidence.

Therapy can help you understand the patterns behind those challenges and build systems that work with your actual life.

The goal is not perfection. It is creating supports that make your life more manageable and sustainable.


How Will Therapy Go

First Session

We begin by making sense of what is happening now.

Our first session is about understanding what brings you to therapy, what has been difficult, what is already working, and what you would like to be different.

We will talk about your current concerns, important experiences, relationships, strengths, stressors, and patterns you have started to notice.

You do not have to come in with everything figured out. We can make sense of it together.

Ongoing Therapy

Insight matters. So does what you do with it.

Ongoing therapy may include exploring emotional, relational, family, cultural, generational, and systemic patterns while developing practical strategies for everyday life.

I may ask thoughtful questions, help you connect patterns, challenge you when useful, teach practical skills, and encourage you to practice what we discuss between sessions.

The goal is not simply to feel better during the appointment. It is to build insight, confidence, self-compassion, and skills that carry into your everyday life.

When Your Needs May Fall Outside My Clinical Focus

My practice is designed for outpatient psychotherapy with adults who are able to participate in regularly scheduled sessions and use supports and skills between appointments.

I do not provide crisis intervention, 24/7 or on-call services, or higher levels of care such as intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, or inpatient treatment. Some specialized concerns may also be better served by a clinician whose practice specifically focuses on those needs.

If your clinical needs change during treatment, we can discuss referrals or additional supports.
