Play Therapists in Fargo, ND

We will work together to help you make positive changes to your life—healthier, more stable, productive and fulfilling! With each of my clients, I work to build a relationship based in trust and authenticity where you can feel both safe and challenged—safe knowing you can talk openly and will be heard and understood, not judged, but also challenged to make the changes you want to make. Making those changes is more likely when you find a therapist who is empathetic—someone with whom you can connect and trust. Your full potential is always within reach and a therapeutic relationship based in sincere, empathetic, and authentic dialogue is healing. Call me today for a free, phone consultation and get started on a better and brighter present and future.

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.

Fargo is North Dakota's largest city and a growing regional hub for healthcare, technology, and agriculture, with North Dakota State University bringing a significant student population and giving the city unusual economic and cultural vitality for its size. Cold, dark winters in one of the continental US's most extreme climates contribute meaningfully to seasonal affective disorder and depression, and geographic isolation from other major urban centers is a defining feature of life in the region. Sanford Health and Essentia Health both operate behavioral health programs in Fargo, and a private therapy sector serves the city's growing professional community. Common therapy concerns include seasonal depression, anxiety, student mental health at NDSU, relationship stress, and the particular challenges of mental health access in a northern plains city where winters are long and the nearest major metro is hundreds of miles away.
