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.

Inspired Hope Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile.
"People can cry much easier than they can change." — James Baldwin
Life can be challenging, and sometimes the weight of anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting struggles, family conflict, trauma, or major life transitions can leave you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about what comes next. Taking the first step toward therapy is not always easy, but you do not have to navigate these challenges alone.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Parent Coach, educator, and mother of four with more than 20 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families build healthier, more fulfilling lives. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, parenting support, adolescent issues, self-esteem, trauma, family relationships, and life transitions. I often joke that I speak fluent teen, but my true passion is helping people strengthen their relationships, improve communication, and develop the confidence needed to overcome life's challenges.
I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to provide guidance, support, and practical tools while helping you uncover the strengths that already exist within you. Together, we will create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore concerns, build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful change.
My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself, your child, your relationship, or your family, I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and develop the skills needed to thrive both now and in the future.
I provide in-person therapy in Montclair, New Jersey, as well as secure online therapy throughout New Jersey and Florida.
I offer a complimentary consultation and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can work together.
