Dr. Dava Wilson,
EdD, MPA, MSSA, LCSW-S
She/her/hers
Specialties:
Anxiety, life stressors, relationship discord, trauma, and personality disorder.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky, Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia, with 20 years of experience working with people making changes in their lives. I have worked with people challenged by depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and life-changing situations. My approach is solution-focused, client-centered, and strengths-based, drawing heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Theory.
When working with clients, I strive to make the therapy experience genuine, positive, respectful, and safe. I believe that you can rewrite your own story with support from a professional. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started! I am excited to meet you and work together to identify your goals and make plans to achieve them! Be proud of yourself for taking this first step to your new narrative!
Please allow 24 hours for responses via any method (chat, email, etc.) for brand-new clients and 24-48 for additional inquiries, although most will be within 24 hours. Please remember that therapists need self-care as well, so on weekends, I will not be responding to emails as I will be spending time with my family. If it is an emergency and you are having thoughts of self-harm or harming others, please call 911 immediately.
Social Work Experience: 20 years

Written by Z.U. on Oct 09, 2021, after therapy with Dava for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and coaching: I’m going to start with: this lady is a Rockstar. I downloaded BetterHelp in the midst of going through nearly 2-3 crises a week WHILE seeing an in-person therapist, who unfortunately didn’t understand me and never even found out how often I was in crisis. But Dava? Instant click.
I don’t know how they do it, considering I didn’t find the questions for getting to know me to be overly in-depth, but wow. Knocked my socks off. Thank you, Dava, for all you do, she is an amazing therapist!
