I have been a community therapist for over ten years. I have been trained and certified as a trauma-focused therapist and CSEC. However, I also reach back to psychoanalytic on early psychosexual and psychosocial development by exploring the past to address all issues. Something brought you here, something is driving you to find answers, to stop the pain, to stop feeling stuck, anxious, or depressed. Something is affecting you, your relationships, career, school, etc. You can heal by doing the inner work, it does not have to exist forever. Let me help you in your journey.

Dr. D'Ann Downey, Psychologist
I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 40 years, 20 of that as a licensed clinical social worker and 20+ as a clinical psychologist. The combination of those two degrees has been invaluable for me. With my social work background I learned much about family systems theory. With my doctorate in psychology I obtained more knowledge in depth of personality development. I think in terms of the early developmental years and how they impact who we are and our life choices. We may not be able to change others but we can change ourselves and therefore feel happier and more fulfilled.
