Susannah Davis, LCMHC

Susannah Davis is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Vermont with ten years in private practice and decades of prior work in school counseling and youth services. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, shifts in career or life stage, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, ADHD concerns, and patterns like codependency.

She brings a mix of past roles to sessions, including 18 years as a licensed school counselor, time as a therapeutic foster care provider, work in sub-acute residential care, and experience running art therapy groups. Those roles inform how she notices behavior, coping patterns, and what gets in the way of daily functioning.

Sessions are conversational and practical. She and the client identify specific goals and choose approaches that fit the issue at hand. Expect skill-building, reflective conversation, and steps you can try between sessions to test what helps.

Susannah pays attention to how trauma, loss, and chronic stress affect thoughts, feelings, and sleep. She also works with people wrestling with perfectionism, avoidance, shame, and the tendency to put others first at their own expense.

Her background includes work with adolescents and adults across schools and residential settings. Clients often leave with clearer boundaries, more predictable routines, and tools for managing panic, anger, or grief. To begin, she asks people to outline their main concerns and goals so sessions can start focused and practical.
