Getting Started
-
A: Yes. I offer a free 15 to 20 minute consultation call so we can talk about what's bringing you or your child to therapy and make sure it feels like a good fit before scheduling. You can request a consultation through the contact form on this website, by calling 727-231-1016, or by emailing Aria.Davison@gmail.com. I respond to all new inquiries within 48 hours.
-
A: My office is located in Safety Harbor, FL, and I see in-person clients from throughout Pinellas County, including Clearwater, Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Tarpon Springs, and St. Petersburg. I also offer telehealth (online therapy) for clients anywhere in the state of Florida, since I am licensed to practice in Florida only.
-
A: Yes, I am currently accepting new clients for individual therapy, family therapy, and parenting sessions, both in person in Safety Harbor and via telehealth throughout Florida.
-
A: Sessions are 55 minutes. Most clients begin with weekly sessions, and frequency is adjusted over time based on progress and need.
FEES, INSURANCE & POLICIES
-
A: I am a private pay practice and do not accept insurance directly. However, I provide a superbill, a detailed receipt of services, that many clients submit to their insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. You can choose to have your superbill sent automatically after each session or request one at any time.

A: I ask for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the appointment, as well as no-shows, are subject to a $50 fee.
WHO I WORK WITH
-
A: I specialize in working with children ages 6 to 18 and young adults 18 and older navigating major life transitions such as college and starting a career. Areas of focus include anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, learning disabilities, school refusal, life transitions, social skills, self-esteem, grief, family conflict, and parenting support.
-
A: Yes. I work with a wide range of children, teens, and young adults, including neurodivergent kids, LGBTQ+ youth, gifted and high-achieving teens, and student athletes. Every treatment plan is individualized to the specific young person in front of me.
-
A: Yes. I work with young adults navigating the transition out of the family home, including college adjustment, first jobs and career anxiety, building independence, identity development, and relationships. This is a specific area of focus in my practice, not an afterthought to my work with younger clients.
MY APPROACH
-
A: I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness-based techniques, and play therapy. Rather than applying a single model to every client, I tailor the approach to each child's age, personality, and specific concerns, often blending modalities within the same treatment plan as goals evolve. A younger child working through anxiety might spend more time in play therapy, while a teen working through anxious thought patterns might benefit most from CBT paired with DBT skills for day-to-day emotional regulation.
-
A: I am comfortable integrating a client's faith or spiritual beliefs into sessions when requested. I approach every client with cultural competency and respect for their individual values and background.
WORKING WITH PARENTS & FAMILIES
-
A: Parents and guardians are active partners throughout the treatment process. I provide regular updates, coordinate directly with other providers involved in your child's care such as pediatricians, psychiatrists, ABA providers, and schools, and maintain age-appropriate confidentiality boundaries with your child within normal clinical and ethical guidelines.
-
A: Yes. I offer parenting sessions and consultations both with and without your child present, depending on what's most useful for your family's goals.
-
A: Common signs that a child or teen may benefit from therapy include changes in mood or behavior, increased anxiety or withdrawal, difficulty at school, trouble with friendships, changes in sleep or appetite, big life transitions, or a general sense that something feels off. If you are unsure, a free consultation call is a low-pressure way to talk through what you're noticing and get guidance on next steps.
-
A: The first session focuses on getting to know your family, understanding the concerns that brought you in, and gathering background information. For younger clients, this often includes time with parents as well as one-on-one time with the child. From there, we build a treatment plan together with clear goals.
CREDENTIALS & COMMUNITY
-
A: I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida with 13 years of experience specializing in children, teens, and young adults. I am EMDR certified and hold a Qualified Supervisor credential.
-
A: Yes. I was born and raised in Safety Harbor, and I'm proud to serve the community I grew up in. That local connection shapes how I show up for families here, whether that's understanding the schools, the pace of life, or the community resources available to Pinellas County families.
