About Me
Believe me when I say I’m no stranger to addiction or recovery. As someone in long-term recovery and the child of a person with alcoholism, I bring both lived experience and professional expertise to my work. I have treated addiction as a therapist for more than 25 years and have spent over a decade teaching addiction treatment courses at universities. While I work with a wide range of concerns, my specialty is treating substance use and addiction, problem gambling, anger, and abusive behavior.
In our therapy sessions, we will explore the nature of addiction and how it impacts our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we will develop a personalized recovery plan tailored to your strengths and needs, helping you break free from addiction’s grip and take back control of your life.
Practice Areas
Substance Use
& Addiction
I'm especially passionate about the treatment of substance use and addiction. As someone in long-term recovery and the child of a person with alcohol use disorder, I bring both lived experience and professional expertise to my work treating addiction as a therapist for more than 25 years. ​
Problem Gambling
Problem gambling is a clinically recognized addictive disorder that has become increasingly prevalent as betting becomes more accessible. I offer evidence-based support to help you understand the disorder and develop a treatment plan to regain control and improve overall well-being.
Anger & Abusive Behavior
While anger is a normal and healthy emotion, what we do with it can make all the difference in the world. Regardless of how angry we become, there is never any excuse for being abusive. I help clients recognize and understand the dynamics of abusive behavior and how to prevent it.​
Christian Counseling
While my therapy practice is secular in nature, I was ordained into ministry in 2009 and am happy to offer Christian counseling upon client request. My approach integrates evidence-based psychotherapy techniques with biblical principles to provide faith-informed guidance and support.
The Bible and Addiction Recovery
by Dr. Eric L. Davis
The Bible and Addiction Recovery invites readers on a transformative journey, exploring the biblical foundations woven into the Twelve Steps and other key recovery principles. From the power of faith to the importance of honesty, surrender, making amends, and letting go of resentments, this book connects timeless scripture to the heart of healing and personal growth in recovery.
Packed with insightful scripture references, practical exercises, and real-life examples, it is an invaluable resource for therapists, biblical counselors, pastors, and individuals and families navigating recovery. Whether used in individual, group, or family therapy, or as part of a church support group, this guide offers hope, wisdom, and a clear pathway to spiritual and emotional renewal.
