Insight Psychological Group
Psychologist, Psy.D.s, LCSWs, LPCs, LCADCs...
Insight Psychological Group (IPG) was founded in 2013 by Dr. David A. Helfgott based upon the simple premise: Psychotherapy is not purely a medical treatment; it is also an authentic human engagement. Dr. Helfgott's vision was to create a large group of compassionate, uniquely skilled, and committed therapists offering quality, impactful psychotherapy in a way that reaches individuals deeply and lastingly.
We all live in the same world, and we depend on each other. IPG therapists know well the challenges of the world we face, but they also know how to be patient and listen to your particular lived experience. Without any agenda, your therapist will follow your lead and use their wealth of training, experience and expertise to be most helpful to your situation.

Modern Care Collective, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
We created Modern Care Collective because we believe therapy should feel human.
We know what it’s like to feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or like you have to fit yourself into a box just to get help. Our goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment, pressure, or pretending to have it all together.
We bring real experience, honesty, compassion, and a little bit of humor into the work. Whether you’re navigating relationships, trauma, identity, mental health, recovery, or simply trying to figure out what comes next, you don’t have to do it alone.
You are not something that needs to be fixed. You are a whole person, and we’re here to help you understand yourself, find your tools, and build a life that feels like your own.

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.
