Marc Benjamin Davis

A former supervisor of mine once told me that our job as therapists is to put ourselves out of business, and that is the philosophy with which I approach therapy. I utilize a solution-focused approach along with rational emotive behavior therapy to help my patients achieve their goals. I frequently check in to make sure we're making progress that is meaningful to them and make sure that we're working toward accomplishing their stated goals. Additionally, as one of the few specialists in self-harm and suicide in New York State, I will not jump to hospitalization when shown scars or discussing thoughts of suicide. To me, hospitalization is a last, last, last resort, and I have only ever had to only hospitalize one person in my years of working with suicidal patients.
