About Davie Dennington

Davie believes the therapy room should be the one place in a person's life where they don't have to perform. Her approach is person-centered and unhurried — she listens without rushing to a framework, and she takes the view that clients are the experts on their own lives. What she brings is presence, clinical training, and a willingness to sit honestly with whatever shows up, whether that's grief, fear, anger, or the quieter weight of not knowing who you are anymore.

She works particularly well with people who have tried to power through and found that it stopped working. That includes children and teens wrestling with self-esteem, self-injury, school pressure, or the early tremors of depression and anxiety; adults moving through divorce, loss of a parent, or career upheaval; and families trying to stay connected across multiple generations or after a rupture. She is comfortable with clients who want structure and equally comfortable with clients who need to talk in circles for a while before the work becomes clear.

Davie holds a Master of Arts in Child and Adolescent Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, along with a Master of Science in Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Louisiana State University Shreveport. She is licensed in Colorado as a Professional Counselor Candidate and draws on existential psychology, solution-focused therapy, and person-centered methods. Her training is deep, but her voice is plain — clients describe her as both warm and honest, which are harder qualities to hold together than most people realize.

Outside the office, Davie is a competitive CrossFit athlete and coach. She understands the mental demands of performance under pressure — not as an abstraction, but as something she has lived — and she believes the relationship between body and mind is too often left out of traditional talk therapy. For clients who are open to it, she brings that lens into sessions in small, practical ways: attention to sleep, movement, breath, and the physical signals of emotion that often speak before words do.

Professional Background

Davie's clinical training is paired with a background in high-performance athletics as a CrossFit coach, which informs her work with athletes, teens under performance pressure, and adults whose identity is tied to physical capability. Her unique life experiences have given her the framework to encourage, empower, and advocate for clients seeking their own healing.

Therapeutic Approaches

Davie's clinical work draws on a small number of approaches used intentionally, rather than a long menu applied generically.

• Person-Centered Therapy — the spine of her practice. Clients are treated as the experts on their own experience, and the therapeutic relationship itself is treated as a condition for change.

• Existential Therapy — used with clients working through questions of meaning, purpose, grief, and identity, especially during major life transitions.

• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy — used when clients need forward momentum and concrete, short-horizon change rather than a long excavation of the past.

• Play Therapy — used with younger clients who communicate more naturally through play, art, and story than through sit-down conversation.

FAQ

What can I expect in a first session with Davie?

A first session with Davie is mostly listening on her side and getting oriented on yours. She'll ask about what brought you in, what you've already tried, and what a useful outcome would look like — but she won't push for a story you're not ready to tell. Her goal in the first appointment is to make sure you feel safe enough to come back for the second.

Does Davie work with children and teens?

Yes. Davie holds a Master's in Child and Adolescent Psychology and works with clients as young as six. She uses play therapy with younger children and blends talk therapy with practical coping tools for adolescents and teens. Common presenting concerns include anxiety, school stress, self-esteem, self-injury, grief, and eating-disorder-adjacent behaviors.

Does Davie offer virtual counseling sessions?

Yes. Davie sees clients in person at the Windsor office and also offers virtual sessions to Colorado residents. Virtual sessions work well for clients with scheduling constraints, those outside of immediate driving distance, and teens who sometimes feel more open when talking from their own room.

Is Davie accepting new clients?

Davie is currently accepting new clients at the Windsor location. You can book a free consultation through Foundations Counseling to see whether she is the right fit before committing to regular sessions — this is part of Foundations' Counselor Match Guarantee.

Does Davie work with athletes or people dealing with performance pressure?

Yes. Davie is a competitive CrossFit athlete and coach and works frequently with athletes, former athletes, and high-performing adults navigating the pressure of measured performance, injury, identity transition out of sport, or burnout. She takes the mind-body connection seriously as clinical terrain, not as a slogan.
