Rachel Davies
Hi, and welcome! I'm so glad you are here. My name is Rachel Davies and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New York with 7+ years of experience working intensely with clients dealing with a wide array of concerns including anger management, depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment, relationship issues, and parenting issues. I have worked in a multitude of different environments including outpatient clinics, private practice, and home based therapy within the community. My style of therapy is warm and inviting. I also use humor and transparency with clients when appropriate. It is important to me that you feel comfortable and safe in therapy and building a strong therapeutic alliance is important to positive outcomes of therapy. My approach combines Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. I believe that you know yourself better than anyone and it is my job to meet you where you are at in your process. We will work together to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. I enjoy and feel honored to be a part of someone’s personal experiences. This is the way I like to approach my sessions – as a team, addressing challenges together to become free from judgment, criticism, and pain. I believe in creating a space where we can have difficult conversations, work on resolving issues and collaborate on treatment plans that are tailored to your personal needs and experiences. Change is not easy, but acknowledging that you want more for yourself is always the first step to creating change in your life. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. What you work on in therapy needs to be brought into your everyday life in order to see the change you are looking for. I have listed a couple of resources that I have found to be helpful if you struggle with following: Boundaries: "Set Boundaries, Find Peace" by Nedra Glover Tawwab Self Sabotage: "The Mountain Is You" by Brianna West Forming/ Breaking Habits: "Atomic Habits" by James Clear I look forward to working with you.

Manolita Fenn
I am a licensed certified social worker for about 30 years. I have worked with families, children and couples in addition to strong background in mental illness. My approach to the therapeutic process is a cognitive-behavioral therapy. I believe gaining insight is only half the work; the second part is implementing changes in behaviors and thoughts. I believe homework for clients can be useful and is helpful for the client to identify his/her own gains and areas of continued work. I believe every individual has the capacity to change. I believe you start where the client is and treat everyone with dignity and respect. I look forward to speaking to you.
