Alejandro Sanchez, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Post-Doctoral Fellow
As a postdoctoral psychology fellow with over a decade of professional experience, I, Dr. Alejandro Sanchez, am dedicated to providing compassionate and evidence-based therapy to individuals, couples, and families in Sarasota, Venice, and surrounding areas in Florida. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.
I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Nova Southeastern University and a bachelor’s degree from Florida International University. My therapeutic approach combines various methodologies, including humanistic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), trauma-focused, dialectical (DBT), and relational life therapy, with the goal of facilitating positive change for my patients.
At Davenport Psychology, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and achieve personal growth. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to foster healing and transformation, and I am passionate about guiding my clients on their journey to mental wellness. Additionally, I offer telehealth services exclusively in Florida, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes.

Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience, I, Dr. Keri Downs, specialize in child and adolescent therapy.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection—with a touch of humor along the way. I support clients through life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, relational struggles, and major transitions. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that support your well-being and those that may be holding you back, always with a focus on your unique values, needs, and goals. Drawing from evidence-based therapies, I tailor our work to help you feel empowered, deepen self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. Taking this step toward healing is courageous, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you create the life you want.

Jean Moree
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC, NCC, CCTS-I
I strive to create a therapy experience that feels both supportive and genuine. My style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change is easier when you feel safe enough to be honest about what you are experiencing. Therapy does not require you to have everything figured out before you begin. I will meet you where you are, without judgment, while helping you better understand yourself, work through what feels difficult, and move toward the changes that matter to you. I bring clinical experience to our work while also showing up as a real, approachable person who values your individual story, strengths, and needs.
Rather than relying on a single therapeutic model, I use an integrative approach and select interventions based on what is most appropriate for you and the concerns bringing you to counseling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy forms part of the foundation of my work, while I may also incorporate Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Flash Technique, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Schema Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Written Exposure Therapy. This flexibility allows treatment to be individualized rather than forcing your experience into one particular approach.
I am deeply committed to ongoing professional development and stay abreast of the latest research and best practices in the field of counseling. My goal is to provide my clients with the highest standard of care, rooted in ethical principles.
