Vanessa Davis is a compassionate and experienced Licensed Professional Counselor, deeply committed to supporting individuals, particularly preteens, teens, and adults, through their personal journeys. With 8 years of experience as a licensed therapist and 18 years in the mental health field as a board-certified music therapist, she combines her extensive knowledge with dynamic methods like Expressive Arts and Music Therapy. Vanessa recognizes the importance of creative outlets alongside individual therapy, utilizing innovative modalities such as Drum Circles and Role Playing Games (RPGs) to foster connection and development. In therapeutic RPG group sessions, participants create multifaceted characters—complete with personalities and narratives—who embark on collaborative adventures, discovering solutions and emotional skills along the way. Her interest in drum circles highlights a long-standing tradition of communal musical experiences, aimed at self-expression and connection, enriched by recent research into their positive effects on the nervous system. As the leader of a Social Skills Through RPGs Group for Teens and Pre-teens, Vanessa is dedicated to empowering her clients through fun, interactive group therapy experiences, while also offering her expertise in facilitating Therapeutic Drum Circles for community events.
