Play Therapists in Murfreesboro, TN

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.

I want to create a safe space for you, so you look forward to joining me on your journey toward restoration and peace. I want to spark positive growth within, and go with you on a powerful, healing, and revitalizing journey where you receive the support you need. Give me a call! I’m excited to start the voyage with you!

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.

Working collaboratively we will fix the problems that take away from your ability to enjoy family, friends, hobbies and work.

Murfreesboro is one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee, a Rutherford County suburb of Nashville that has attracted families and young professionals drawn by more affordable housing than Nashville offers, and Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) brings a substantial student population that creates significant demand for young adult and academic mental health services. The city's rapid growth has outpaced the development of mental health infrastructure, and demand for private therapy has grown significantly as the population has expanded. Common therapy concerns include relocation and community-building stress, student and young adult mental health, relationship and family issues, and the anxiety of navigating a city in rapid and sometimes disorienting transformation. Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital and other Nashville-area resources are accessible to Murfreesboro residents for more intensive needs, and telehealth extends the reach of Nashville's larger therapy market.
