Shelby Davis

Hi, I’m Shelby (she/her/hers).
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (CT), Registered Drama Therapist, and Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator in Newington, CT.

More importantly, I’m a theatre kid, cat-mom, and fellow therapy-goer.

I work with individuals whose lives are “complicated,” deeply understand why they do what they do, and still can’t seem to get better. With a focus on "intellectualizers”, trauma, and chronic illness, I work with folks who are sick of coping, and want to start healing.

As a therapist, I got sick and tired of seeing clients get told that deep-breathing and “reframing” will solve all of their problems. That’s when I started focusing on evidenced-based approaches that target the “why” behind people’s distress. These approaches include relational therapy, psychodynamic therapy, drama therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and somatic therapy.

I am accepting new clients with the insurances listed below, along with self-pay clients with insurances other than those listed. Please reach out with questions regarding cost and scheduling using the contact form on my website.
