I believe therapy begins with creating a genuine connection, a foundation of trust, understanding, and openness. I also know how important it is to find a therapist you truly ‘click’ with; someone whose style and personality feel like the right fit for you. Over the past 15 years in the mental health field, including 5 years in private practice, I’ve had the privilege of supporting people through challenges such as anxiety, depression, body dysmorphia, OCD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the everyday stressors of family, relationships, work, and life.

Everyone has a story. Mine starts here in Upstate New York, where I was born and raised. It was here that I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My work on the frontlines of mental health care has given me insight into the challenges individuals face and the systemic changes needed to improve outcomes — both of which inform my practice!

​

​Beyond my professional life, I’m also a proud dog mom to my seven-year-old Morkie, Jax. When I'm not working, you might find me with a warm cup of chai, and a book in hand.​ Also, I love learning. I recently completed my second master's degree: my MBA through SUNY Oswego, with a focus in healthcare administration.

​

Most importantly, I thoroughly enjoy the work I do with my clients- supporting others on their unique journeys.

As I mentioned before, everyone has a story.

I look forward to hearing yours.

Jane Davis

Jane Davis

Therapist

Virtual • New York


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
