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.

28 Years Experience
Online in Huntsville, AL
Huntsville is one of the most economically anomalous cities in the American South — anchored by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, the US Army's Redstone Arsenal, and a massive aerospace and defense industry cluster — creating a highly educated, well-compensated population with therapy demand centered on high-stakes career stress, security clearance-related anxiety, and the unique pressures of working in national security-adjacent roles. The city has grown dramatically in recent decades, attracting transplants from across the country, and therapists frequently address the social isolation and adjustment challenges of a fast-growing city where community roots are shallow for many residents. Huntsville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Huntsville's unusual demographic profile — high concentration of STEM professionals, veterans, and military contractors — gives its therapy community a distinctive character compared to other Southern cities of similar size.
