Allison King
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, RPT
Relationships shape who we are, who we become, and how we experience the world—and when they feel strained or disconnected, every part of our lives is impacted. Helping people find their way back to one another is work I feel honored to do. As a therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), I believe conflict and distance often mask unmet attachment needs and emotions longing to be understood. My role is to create a "brave space" where those deeper experiences can be explored and responded to in new ways. Clients often tell me I'm approachable and genuine. Therapy is vulnerable work, and I bring warmth, curiosity, compassion, and humor into our sessions. Whether you're a couple longing to reconnect or a family navigating conflict, I'm committed to helping you build stronger bonds and deeper connection. I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.

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.
