About:
Destiny Davis, LPC, CRC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Clinical Rehabilitation Counselor with five years of experience supporting individuals through the complex journey of chronic illness. Her approach combines personal understanding as someone who lives with chronic illness herself with evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Somatic Experiencing. She works primarily with people navigating complex, contested, or hard-to-pin-down conditions, including those without a diagnosis and those whose diagnosis comes with a lot of conflicting advice. Many of her clients have spent years being dismissed, second-guessed, or handed contradictory information about their own bodies, and much of the work centers on building steadiness and self-trust in the middle of that uncertainty.
Together, clients and Destiny typically work through concerns such as medical trauma and the aftermath of being dismissed or disbelieved, health anxiety and fear of the body's own signals, and grief over lost identity, capacity, or the life once expected. She also supports clients with anxiety and depression alongside chronic illness, pacing and energy limits within an unpredictable body, self-advocacy with providers, and boundary-setting with family, work, and other systems — all in service of rebuilding self-trust and body trust after years of uncertainty.
I specialize in working with these populations:
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS)
POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome)
Long COVID
Chronic Lyme disease
Fibromyalgia
My expertise comes from:
“My path to this work started in rehabilitation counseling, where I learned to understand chronic illness and disability through the social model (the idea that what makes a condition hard isn't only the body, but the world built around it). That training gave me language for something I was also living. I learned early that the usual advice (stay positive, chase a cure, fix the body) doesn't serve people living in unpredictable bodies.
The standard mental health playbook didn't fit, so I sought to learn a different one. I draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and a Disability Justice framework to help people stop fighting their bodies and start living fully alongside them. My expertise comes from both sides of the room, as a clinician trained in chronic illness and medical trauma, and as someone who knows firsthand what it's like to live in an unpredictable body.”
