Meghan Beeks Davis, MSW, LMSW
I believe that everyone strives to do the best they can, but sometimes you just don't have the tools or motivation to get to where you want to be. I’m glad that you’re brave enough to take the first step! I’m here to help clients discover and use their strengths to navigate through life’s challenges.
My goal is to provide a confidential environment where clients can process current life circumstances, explore new coping skills and meet their goals.
I have experience working in a variety of settings including home based, schools, medical and psych hospitals, and the foster care setting. I’ve worked with a variety of ages including adolescents through older adults with a variety of needs and abilities. My passion is helping women and adolescents who are struggling with relationships, behavioral issues, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and other daily stressors.
I use a variety of therapy modalities including Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Talk Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness. If you’re looking for a safe space to address life stressors, trauma, grief, loss, or just need a listening ear, I welcome you to reach out.

Dwayne Johnson MSW, LLMSW
Throughout my journey to become a therapist, I would often be asked the same question: What made me want to become a therapist? The more I learned about myself and who I wanted to become, the clearer the answer became. As a therapist, my goal is to always help my clients leave my sessions inspired to become the best versions of themselves.
Imagine life as a race, and the finish line represents everything you want to achieve. On this journey, you'll face numerous obstacles that might seem insurmountable. I want all my clients to conquer these challenges and reach the goals they aspire to achieve.
I have experience working in various settings, including home-based, in jails, residential facilities, schools, and in foster care settings. I am a diligent and motivated therapist dedicated to assisting my clients in achieving success and becoming the best versions of themselves. I utilize a variety of therapy models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, strength-based approaches, and person-centered therapy.
My passion lies in helping preteens, teenagers, and adults who struggle with various issues, such as relationship difficulties, anxiety, men's issues, school-related challenges, self-esteem, peer relationships, and daily stressors.
As an African American male, I firmly believe that an effective therapist should commit to continuous learning and development. My master's degree in social work equips me with the knowledge and competence needed to guide clients through difficult situations and choices. Although the path to these goals may have its challenges, I possess the empathy, active listening skills, clinical tools, and adaptability necessary to keep you motivated to achieve your goals.
