Keri Downs, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience, I, Dr. Keri Downs, specialize in child and adolescent therapy. My extensive experience spans various emotional, behavioral, and social challenges faced by children, adolescents, and young adults, including sadness, behavioral problems, ADHD, giftedness, social difficulties, and trauma. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and evidence-based therapy to help my clients navigate these challenges and achieve personal growth.
I hold degrees from Dartmouth College and Roosevelt University, and my therapeutic approach is rooted in strengths-based, relationship-based, and cognitive-behavioral theories. I strive to understand how my patients’ environments and experiences shape their self-perception, relationships, and worldview. Believing in the power of the therapeutic relationship, I use it as a tool to help patients gain deeper awareness and insight into their emotions, behaviors, and relationship patterns.
At Davenport Psychology, I take pride in my ability to see the big picture and utilize creative, innovative interventions to help children and families reach their greatest potential. I offer individual and group therapy, parent support, and comprehensive psychological evaluations. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their feelings, develop coping strategies, and achieve lasting change.

Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Seeking a therapist who truly understands the complexity of your experience is a significant first step. I am Dr. G. Nathanael Schwarz, a licensed Clinical Psychologist dedicated to providing high-quality, evidence-based care for children (ages 5+) and adults. My practice is built on a foundation of collaboration and a non-pathologizing, holistic view of your mental health.
What sets my practice apart is an elevated standard of care that extends well beyond the therapy room. I draw on extensive experience across diverse treatment settings—from intensive residential care to outpatient support—to offer a customized, modular approach. Whether we are utilizing CBT, DBT, or trauma-informed interventions, I integrate biological, psychological, and social factors to help you navigate your challenges effectively.
Beyond individual therapy, I act as an active partner in your journey. My practice includes:
Integrated Support: I collaborate directly with schools and other healthcare providers to ensure your care is cohesive.
Practical Tools: From parent coaching and school consultation (including IEP/504 advocacy) to phone coaching for between-session support, I provide the practical tools necessary for real-world application.
Measurement-Informed Progress: I utilize data-driven screening and evaluation to ensure we are consistently tracking your progress and adjusting strategies to achieve the best possible outcomes.
If you are looking for a dedicated clinician who prioritizes evidence-based methods and comprehensive, coordinated support, I invite you to reach out.
