Hello, I'm Andrea Davis, a licensed counselor and art therapist with 20 years of experience. I hold credentials as an ATR-BC, ATCS, and LPC-AT-S, specializing in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I earned degrees in Phenomenological Psychology, Humanistic Psychology, and Art Therapy. My approach is person-centered, integrating art therapy to support children, teens, adults, and veterans facing trauma, grief, and identity challenges in a safe, creative space.
I am a licensed mental health counselor in both Texas and Washington State, trained to work with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues and grief.

Life can shift unexpectedly-and when it does, the stress, trauma, or emotional pain can leave you feeling lost,
isolated, or overwhelmed. Whether you're healing from abuse, facing a major transition, navigating
relationship stress, or coping with anxiety or depression, therapy can offer a path toward clarity, peace, and
renewal. You're not alone.
I have two graduate degrees in the field (Behavioral Medicine/Health Psychology and Professional Counseling) and am a licensed behavioral health clinician in both Texas & California. My experience includes working with individuals and groups with a wide range of mental health, substance use, and basic counseling issues. I believe we all need help at points of our life and, if we are willing to ask for it, the support and guidance can be invaluable.
I have 26 years of experience working in an elementary school as a teacher and counselor. I am familiar with the school setting and can help children and parents navigate school situations that include evaluation for learning disabilities, academic testing, organizational skills, time management, course selection for secondary students, executive functioning skills, and peer relationships.
In my time as a counselor, I have helped children in a variety of situations including changes in family dynamics, divorce, blended families, death of a loved one, suicide of a family member, preparation for a funeral, life changes due to illness, abuse, etc.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Richardson
Searching for therapists in Richardson starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to address. Reading bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that align with your preferences.
Richardson is close to Plano, Garland, and north Dallas, which can expand your options while local availability may still vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Some people prefer in-person therapy near home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for easier scheduling. When narrowing your search, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, free phone consultation options, and the details in each profile. Bios can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.
Therapy in Richardson can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, review availability, enter your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
