Professional statement

Davi Pettit is a California-based psychotherapist who specializes in working with transgender, nonbinary, and LGBTQ+ adults and adolescents. Many of Davi’s clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, identity exploration, relationship stress, family conflict, or chronic self-criticism. Davi also frequently works with neurodivergent, highly sensitive, and creative clients who are seeking an affirming therapeutic relationship where they can feel understood without needing to educate or defend their identities.

Davi’s therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both emotional depth and practical support. Their approach integrates relational therapy, somatic awareness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work to help clients better understand emotional patterns, nervous system responses, and internal conflicts. Sessions are tailored to each client’s unique needs and often focus on improving emotional regulation, building self-trust, strengthening relationships, and creating a more authentic and connected life.

In addition to extensive experience supporting transgender and gender-diverse clients, Davi maintains ongoing professional involvement in gender-affirming care through advanced trainings, consultation, and continuing education. Their work is culturally responsive, non-pathologizing, trauma-informed, and rooted in respect for each client’s autonomy and lived experience. Davi has particular expertise in supporting transgender adolescents, adults navigating gender transition, and parents seeking support in affirming their children.

Davi offers in-person psychotherapy in San Francisco as well as online therapy sessions for clients throughout California. Both short-term and ongoing therapy are available depending on client needs, and prospective clients are encouraged to reach out to explore fit, availability, and scheduling options.


Message to clients

As a member of the transgender community myself, my hope is that our work offers you a space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are, and where your experiences are met with curiosity, respect, and care. My hope is to offer a space where you can show up as your authentic self without needing to mask any part of you.

My approach is collaborative and I regularly check in about pace, goals, and what feels most supportive. Therapy with me is both reflective and practical, and we’ll focus on helping you feel more grounded in yourself and more connected in your relationships. My approach is trauma-informed and I value consent, transparency, and nervous system safety. I welcome feedback throughout the process so we can shape the work in a way that truly supports you.

I know that finding the right therapist is important. If you’re feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or simply curious about what therapy could offer you right now, I encourage you to reach out. My hope is that therapy feels like a place where you can breathe a little easier, feel more at home in yourself, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and sustainable.
