Psychologist in Wellesley Hills
Move from conflict to calm, together.
When home feels hard.
Families often come to me when everyday moments turn into power struggles, misunderstandings, or emotional blowups. Whether you’re parenting a bright but easily overwhelmed child, feeling stuck in constant conflict with your partner, or navigating challenges as an adult yourself, you’re not alone.
I help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and guide you toward calmer, more connected relationships at home.
How I Can Help
Guiding your family toward a more connected life.
I work with children, parents, and couples who feel stuck in cycles of conflict, overwhelm, and emotional reactivity.
Together, we look closely at what’s driving the blowups, shutdowns, and misunderstandings, so you can respond more calmly and effectively. Whether we’re focusing on your child’s behavior, your relationship, or your own patterns, I use research-based, practical approaches tailored to your family. You can expect relief from emotional pain and stronger relationships over time.
My goal is to help you build skills, restore connection, and create a home that feels steadier and more supportive for everyone.

J. Timothy Davis, Ph.D.
A steady, experienced guide for families in conflict.
For over 30 years, I’ve helped children, parents, and couples navigate the moments that feel overwhelming, confusing, or stuck.
My background in research, teaching, and clinical practice—including training at Harvard Medical School—shapes an approach that is both deeply informed and highly practical. I work actively and collaboratively, offering clear guidance rather than vague reassurance.
Above all, I want you to feel understood, supported, and confident that change is possible for your family.
Who I Work With
When you need someone to understand what you’re carrying.
- Parents doing everything they can, yet still facing daily battles around routines, transitions, or emotional blowups with their children.
- Children and teens who feel misunderstood, easily overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they can’t seem to change on their own.
- Couples stuck in cycles of miscommunication, criticism, or hurt, especially when parenting adds pressure to an already strained relationship.
- Adults who appear strong on the outside but feel flooded, triggered, or unsure how to shift long-standing patterns.
- Families who are tired of constant tension and ready for a calmer, more connected way of being together.
