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.

Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Get your life back! My practice focuses on restoring peace within yourself (for individual treatment) and peace in your home (if you are seeking parenting advice). I specialize in children and parenting, as well as on the treatment of trauma and upsetting experiences. As a doctoral-level psychologist, I can teach both of you valuable skills so that your child can be as healthy, happy, and successful as possible. My goal is for you to build a close, healthy relationship with your child and handle challenges in ways that flow naturally from that positive relationship. Children also have a safe space to process their emotions and learn new, healthier ways of responding to situations. If you have experienced trauma or an upsetting experience, I will help you work through it with skillful sensitivity and compassion.

Anne-Britt Ekert Rothstein, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
People come to therapy with all sort of challenges – You may be stuck on a particular problem that seems to appear over and over or you are struggling with making decisions and then moving on. Maybe something unfortunate has happened in your life. Sometimes people have difficulty managing their emotions and the behaviors that result and want to learn to have better ways to cope. Often my clients are hoping to find deeper meaning in their work, their relationships and in the life they have created. Allowing yourself the space to engage in therapy gives us an opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and private way. Our work together creates a place where you can try out new ways of looking at things without having to worry about any unwanted impact this may have on your current relationships.
