Long Business Description

Approach: Trained in Existential Psychotherapy at USC, I have adapted my work to include CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). I have developed my own unique blend of these therapies, along with incorporating creative arts, humor, and storytelling. I have seen hundreds of child, teen, and adult patients struggling with misophonia, and receive calls from across the country and even abroad. I work collaboratively with audiologists nationwide to provide the best treatment possible. I have been involved with all of the Misophonia Association conventions for patients and families and have done presentations for other professionals to inform and educate them about misophonia. 
 
Credentials: California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with a doctoral degree and more than 40 years helping people deal with the medical and other challenges of their lives.

Dr. Stephanie Davis, PhD
Long Business Description

I’m Dr. Stephanie Davis, I’m a licensed Psychologist who is passionate about helping clients with misophonia, anxiety concerns, and obsessive compulsive disorder. I provide virtual services in both California and Florida.

I understand how challenging and isolating misophonia can feel. My goal is to provide an empathetic environment where you can feel supported and comfortable sharing. Even though we can’t change those around us, we can help provide them with greater understanding of what you’re experiencing. We can have talks or joint sessions, allowing family and friends to support you in your treatment.

In treating misophonia, I utilize Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). We’ll work to understand triggers, adjust expectations, develop coping strategies, and figure out ways you can engage in your environment, allowing you to improve the quality of your life.

I have a background in psychological assessment and in university counseling centers (BYU, Texas A&M, St. Edwards). In these positions, I’ve come to understand how conditions can affect daily functioning. We can figure out how to adapt and seek accommodations when appropriate.
