MICHAEL

Mr MICHAEL DAVIS

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors

“I am a licensed therapist who provides a nonjudgement approach while working with you. I work with adolescents, autism, and anxiety.”

About Me

I offer a space where adolescents, individuals with autism, and those facing anxiety can feel truly heard. My non-judgemental approach allows you to explore your unique world at your own pace. We can work together to navigate complex feelings and find practical ways forward. Clients appreciate a calm, understanding presence that helps them build confidence and voice their experiences.

Approach

You’ll notice sessions unfold at a steady, patient pace, giving space to your ideas while we set small, practical goals together. In West Des Moines I meet people in person and work in English, and I balance focused discussion with hands-on strategies you can try between meetings. I use clear check-ins, gentle structure, and careful assessment when needed to track progress and reduce overwhelm. This way of working tends to suit teens, parents, and individuals on the autism spectrum who value predictability and practical steps.
