Financial Therapy
You handle complex challenges every day. So why is money your blind spot?
On paper, you’re doing fine. Internally, you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop. Move from silent stress to genuine clarity.
A short, practical guide on the psychology of money stress
You are the person others rely on.
You’re capable, responsible, and you’ve worked hard to get where you are.
But when it comes to money, that confidence evaporates.
You might recognize yourself in these patterns:
The disconnect: You earn a good living, but panic when you look at your bank account (or avoid looking entirely).
The soothing: You spend to decompress from the pressure of your week, then feel guilty later.
The future-tripping: You worry that one industry shift, AI advancement, or wrong move could undo everything you’ve built.
Financial therapy helps you uncover and transform the roots of your money issues. I work with professionals to break the cycle of stress, shame, and indecision—so they can feel calm, confident, and in control.

A Biweekly Note on Money and the Mind
Every other week, I share short reflections on money, psychology, and the quiet beliefs that shape our lives. No hype. Just clarity.
Dr. Collin Davidson
Hi, I’m Collin—a financial therapist and licensed clinical psychologist based in Louisville, KY and available in 42 states via telehealth.
After years of helping clients navigate anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions, I noticed a recurring paradox: clients who were capable and composed in every other area of life were secretly paralyzed by money.
It wasn’t a math problem—It was an emotional one.
I became a Certified Financial Therapist™ to bridge that gap. I built my practice to help you dismantle the shame and avoidance surrounding your finances, so you can stop white-knuckling your way through money decisions.
What sets me apart?
Deep Clinical Expertise: I bring a PhD and nearly two decades of psychological experience to the table.
Specialized Training: As a Certified Financial Therapist™, I understand the specific intersection of net worth and self-worth.
Action-Oriented Strategy: I don’t just listen. I partner with you to challenge limiting beliefs and build a sense of financial safety that comes from within—not just from your account balance.
You don't have to navigate this alone anymore.
The First Step: Schedule a free 15-minute introduction. We will briefly discuss the specific financial stressors keeping you up at night and determine if my clinical approach is the right fit for your needs. If I’m not the best match, I’ll connect you with a trusted colleague who is.
The Approach: My work is action-oriented and pragmatic. We won’t just talk about feelings; we will identify the root causes of your money behaviors and build a framework for decision-making that you can actually trust.
The Goal: Imagine making financial choices without the background hum of anxiety. Together, we’ll turn insight into momentum—so your money finally supports the life you’ve worked so hard to build.
