Meet

Tess Davis, LCSW

I entered the mental health field driven by my own healing journey and the powerful impact of the therapists and tools that guided me through trauma recovery. Inspired by my experience, I now use a combination of holistic and evidence-based practices—such as EMDR, Parts Work, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), yoga, nature, and creativity—to help others find acceptance, courage, and even joy after trauma, grief, and pain. Today, my focus has evolved to support individuals navigating perinatal mental health challenges. Having personally experienced pregnancy loss, complications during labor and birth, a NICU stay, postpartum anxiety, and the profound transformation of becoming a mother, I understand how overwhelming this journey can be. My work is designed to help you feel less alone, release the need for control, embrace trust, transform perfectionism into self-compassion, and welcome joy amidst fear and shame. In therapy with me, you can expect a compassionate, non-pathologizing, and empowering approach that is solution-focused, experiential, and deeply personal. Together, we will nurture and mother ourselves—and, when needed, our littles—as we explore, grow, and heal. Reach out today to begin your healing journey and reclaim your peace, joy, and self-compassion.

Testimonials
From J.W.

“I have seen several other counselors in the past, but I had not made much headway. It wasn’t until working with Tess Davis that I really started to make progress. Tess is compassionate, a great listener and a calm and comforting presence. Additionally, she brings a wide range of skills and techniques to our sessions. For me, a therapist that uses researched and evidence-based therapy strategies is critical, and Tess Davis is well versed in the science of therapy. Through our sessions, I have gained new insight into my past, learned valuable coping strategies, and have improved self-confidence and awareness.”

From I.J.

“As a sex worker, I am apprehensive about finding with new professionals to work with. Reaching out to Radiance Counseling made the uncomfortable process of finding a new therapist seamless. Tess immediately made me feel seen and understood. I admire Tess’s professionalism in many ways, but number one - she is constantly researching, exploring new techniques, continuing her education, and trying to understand her clients point-of-view. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who is down-to-earth, understanding, and wholehearted”
