Child or Adolescent Therapists in Connecticut

Hi! My name is Brooke Davidson. I enjoy helping people heal and better understand themselves and others. I love this job and I make sure my clients can feel that during our sessions. All of my clients say that they don't feel like they're in therapy when they work with me because they feel so comfortable and relaxed.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental health Nurse Practitioner. I treat clients across the lifespan and a sub-specialization in child and adolescents and addiction medicine. I make the experience a positive, supportive, and at times fun one. I am very clinical but I remove the "clinical feeling" from the experience. I am very client-focused and develop unique treatment plans that actually help them achieve their goals. I treat numerous areas of psychiatry including, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, PTSD and Trauma, Family/Couples therapy, sleep and appetite, Schizophrenia, OCD, ODD, personality, and eating disorders and addiction. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and supportive therapy. I learn about each individual client and learn my client's "story" so as to understand where they have been, where they are, and where they need/want to go. I also get to the "why" for each client, which is oftentimes the most important question. I utilize humor and my clients engage particularly well. My clients often say I should do standup psychiatry. My clients oftentimes ask me how I know them so well. I am famous for actively listening. My clients feel they receive my clinical expertise without feeling the clinical aspects of what one may expect in psychiatry. I am highly supportive and provide relevant health education. I utilize a team-based approach. I don't speak at my clients I speak with them. Anxiety in anticipation of the "first meeting" will be replaced by feeling more relaxed, comfortable, in a better mood, and more confident after the meeting than prior to it. They can also expect that their needs will be addressed and feel they have been "heard" by me. I am different than most in this regard as I treat my patients as I would a family member, and they can definitely feel it.

I am a warm, caring therapist with a sense of humor and extensive experience working with adolescents and adults. I specialize in helping men with problems resulting from anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties at home, work and in school. That being said, I enjoy working with clients from all genders and backgrounds. As a clinical psychologist I have extensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and have seen many clients improve with these techniques. I have helped people overcome their problems in a variety of settings including university counseling centers, community mental health clinics, hospitals, and schools.

I am a Licensed Psychologist providing virtual concierge therapy services to teens and adults throughout New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Connecticut, and Florida. I am also a Ketamine-Assisted-Psychotherapy (KAP) provider. I mainly work with highly motivated individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, and depression, as well as those struggling with setting and maintaining appropriate boundaries with others. I tailor my approach to fit the needs of each individual in order to increase flexibility, uniqueness, privacy, and comfort. I believe one of the most important factors is the therapeutic relationship. I take the time to build a solid therapeutic relationship so I can best serve you. I have training in various areas including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, grief, trauma-focused, mindfulness-based interventions, positive psychology, and LGBTQIA+. I encourage you to reach out so we can discuss your needs and find the right path for you. A brief discussion will determine if I am the appropriate referral and if you would like to schedule an intake session with me.

Ok
