About Beyond Closed Doors Therapy

My vision is to transform the way people navigate relationships by fostering deep emotional connection, breaking cycles of trauma and making therapy an accessible, inclusive space to heal.

We are born in relationships, we are wounded in relationships, and we heal in relationships.

At Beyond Closed Doors Therapy, I aim to provide a safe, supportive space for relationships. A space where healing and growth can take root—so you can deepen connection, strengthen emotional bonds, and create lasting, meaningful change.

Beyond the Therapy Chair: Meet Azaria!

Azaria Davis, LCSW she/her

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)

Maryland, Virginia, Washington, DC

1. I'm from Long Island, New York and I have mostly called Virginia home since 2018.  I bring a Northern directness with a Southern pace which means in therapy, you'll get honesty, warmth, and the space to take things one step at a time.
2. I studied Sociology and Human Development at SUNY Geneseo where I fell in love with systems thinking. I later earned my Master’s in Clinical Social Work at Smith College, where I learned how to turn that curiosity into care.
3. I’m trained in evidence-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy, but I also believe in the power of laughter, metaphors (that don't always come out right), and making therapy a space where you get to be authentically you.
4. When I’m not in session, I’m probably wandering a thrift store, rescuing a wilting houseplant, or spending time with my four-legged children.

My Approach to Therapy

My therapy approach is relational, attachment-focused, and infused with warmth and curiosity. I blend clinical training with lived experience, offering support that’s just as grounded as it is growth-oriented. I’m passionate about helping folks untangle the effects of early relational trauma and substance use in the families — and about showing people that

healing often begins by opening one door at a time.

I Provide Teletherapy for Residents in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC.

Insurance Accepted!

Trust

I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where every part of the client is welcomed. I believe that belonging begins with being seen and accepted, for every part of you.

Guidance & Support

With specialized training in addiction-informed therapy, attachment , and family systems, I support clients through complex relational challenges helping them to rebuild trust in themselves and others.

Community

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation and you can't break off parts of identity and experiences. I approach every client with curiosity, openness, and respect.

Intentional Healing

I support clients in navigating the pain of past wounds while building skills to create more secure, connected, and authentic relationships.

Compassion & Integrity

My work is rooted in trauma-informed and shame-aware care, ensuring that therapy is grounded in intention and respect.

Growth & Healing

Relationships can be repaired, and cycles can be broken. I aim to help clients unlearn harmful patterns , believe in the capacity for change and the possibility of joy.

 By addressing the root causes of conflict and channeling relationship strengths, we can help relationships heal and move forward together. Healing starts within relationships, and therapy should be accessible, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs.

I provide virtual therapy for individuals, couples, and families, with flexible weekday and evening appointments. My practice is a queer- and kink-informed space  where you can show up as your full self—no need to explain or justify your identity or experiences.

Therapy is a space for growth, healing, and connection.
