Eda Davenport is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) at Open-Minded Therapy in Valley Stream, New York. Eda’s expertise is in working with clients navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and chemical dependency. As a bilingual (English and Spanish) and bicultural therapist, Eda welcomes clients of all identities to her practice, aiming to take a client-centered approach to suit the specific needs of each of her clients.
Eda’s therapeutic intention is to create a trusting and non-judgmental environment, allowing clients to explore the depths of their emotions and gain insight into the unique challenges they face. To accomplish this, she utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a skills-based therapeutic approach that teaches clients to develop healthier coping strategies and foster positive change in their lives. She also encourages the integration of physical wellness and the mind-body connection into sessions, encouraging clients to build strength and resilience in the process of healing.
Eda obtained her Master of Social Work degree from Hunter College, where she specialized in social work administration and clinical practice. She has since gained over 20 years of experience in the social work field in both administrative and clinical roles. She ultimately believes that clients are the experts in their own lives and enjoys actively collaborating with clients as they work through their difficult times.
