About
Diane Davis
Hi, I’m Diane Davis, a Provisional Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC) in St. Louis, Missouri. I specialize in working with millennials navigating anxiety, complex trauma, attachment wounds, and the overwhelm that often comes with parenting and relationships.
I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for the ways people learned to survive hard things. I use the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM®), a relational, somatic, and trauma-informed approach that helps clients untangle old survival patterns and build a more connected, authentic relationship with themselves. I am a certified NARM® Master Therapist, and I have studied under Brad Kammer, LMFT, LPCC, Training Director of the Complex Trauma Training Center. I'm currently in the NARM® Post-Masters Fellowship program at the NARM® Training Institute, where I am studying under Dr. Laurence Heller. I regularly participate in NARM® case consultations, active coaching, and continuing education.
I believe therapy should feel collaborative, steady, and practical — a space where you don’t have to explain everything, where your humor, grief, and contradictions are welcome, and where real change feels possible.
My first career was as an audit manager at a Big 4 accounting firm in Los Angeles, CA and then Dallas, TX, and I still have a strong love for logic, numbers, and organizing. I went back to school to get my Masters in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy (with honors) from Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA.
When I’m not in session, you’ll probably find me drinking coffee, overanalyzing a podcast, or chasing after my two kids. Identity disclosures: she/her/hers, cisgendered, white, ablebodied.
I am supervised by Amanda Woollard, LPC, NCC #2013012287.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
I don’t accept insurance. I’m happy to provide a superbill you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement, but it’s a good idea to check with your insurance provider about your benefits.
​
How long are sessions?
Intake sessions are 90 minutes to allow time to review paperwork, orient you to therapy, and for me to gain a clear understanding of what you most want for yourself from our time together. Intake sessions are $195. Regular individual sessions are 50 minutes for $135. I have some reduced fee time slots available.

​
What is NARM®?
NARM (the NeuroAffective Relational Model) is a relational, somatic, and trauma-informed approach that helps us understand how early life experiences shape our present-day patterns. It’s a gentle, non-pathologizing way to work with complex developmental trauma and adverse childhood experiences and their intersection with mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and personality disorders.
