Therapy for Anxiety, Relationship Problems & Trauma in Asheville

You’re struggling with the messy ways that stress, anxiety, or your past shows up in your life. You worry a lot. A little voice inside your head does a pretty good job convincing you that you are a terrible person. It shows up when you are about to start something new or berates you when you make a mistake. Plus, you are exhausted from living in a world that was not built for you and insidiously has tried to program you to believe that you are not good enough. All of this keeps you from being present with people, making decisions, and manifesting your dreams.  

Being a Human is Messy – Let’s Help You Find the Freedom in That

Hi, I’m Toryn Davis Black, LCSW (pronouns she/ her) . I help people who’ve been hurt and othered by the world transform negative beliefs about themselves into fierce self-love so that they can live authentic, empowered, and connected lives.

How I Help:

I lead with warmth, humor, and a grounded presence. First and foremost, I work to create a deeply affirming, attuned, and reliable relationship for that reparative healing to unfold. My style is laid back, gentle, honest, and compassionately direct.

The work moves at the speed of trust. In order to flatten power, I consistently elicit feedback about your experiences in therapy. I give context to my thoughts and my approach and work collaboratively with you to set the goals and the pace for the work. I believe that tending to the relationship by addressing ruptures and making repairs are key to therapeutic work and healthy relationships.

I am passionate about helping people deconstruct and unlearn the oppressive conditioning that gets inside our heads and messes with our sense of ourselves. I know this is essential to collective liberation and true self-love. I believe that inside each of us is an innate capacity to heal ourselves and that therapy creates the conditions for this to come forward. I see my role is to help you discover your internal wisdom and repurpose the skills that were the key to your survival but are now holding you back
