Aryel Davis LCSWA
EMDR & Trauma Therapy |PTSD | Anxiety | Life Transitions | Matthews & Mint Hill NC |Virtually in NC
Aryel Davis, LCSWA, provides trauma-focused therapy for teens and adults in Matthews and Mint Hill, NC, as well as virtually throughout North Carolina. She has a particular interest in helping clients who are experiencing trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns and difficult life transitions.
Aryel has completed Level 2 EMDR training and incorporates EMDR into her trauma work to help clients process distressing experiences and develop healthier ways of responding to thoughts, emotions and memories connected to trauma.
Training & Clinical Approach
Aryel earned a Bachelor’s in Art Education, followed by her Master’s in Clinical Social Work from the University of Kentucky. Aryel believes therapy should be a refuge where clients can learn, grow, and even laugh.
Aryel is passionate about supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including (but not limited to) BIPOC, neurodivergent individuals (ADHD, Autism), and members of the LGBTQ+ community. She specializes in working with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, emotional awareness & regulation difficulties, communication concerns, school/work challenges, and defining healthy relationships as well as helping clients heal from unresolved trauma, navigate life’s complexities, and gain meaningful personal insight. Aryel strives to create a welcoming therapeutic environment that empowers, educates, and equips clients with practical tools to achieve their goals.
Aryel's Approach to Therapy
To support clients in reaching their fullest potential, Aryel uses evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD. Additionally, Aryel is Level 2 trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) by EMDRIA and is a member of MACS EMDR Team which provides clients the advantage of a broad and extensive clinical consultation team for their care, which aids in resolving past trauma and emotional distress.

Outside the Therapy Room
Having a work-life balance is important, and self-care isn’t selfish! In her free time, Aryel enjoys creating art, reading, traveling, baking, and going on walks with her dog.
