Megan-Davis

Megan Davis is an active leader in neighborhoods throughout Cleveland, providing mental health services to those with severe and persistent mental illness. Megan has dedicated her life to serving others, engaging the community, and advocating for improved quality of life through health and wellness education/services. She plans to develop and implement a dance movement therapy program. She believes joining individuals, while respecting their autonomy, in a dance movement approach to rebuild community encourages self-esteem, teaches conflict resolution and remediation of inner-conflict, strengthens expression of emotions and communication, promotes empathy among others, and empowers individuals to create societal change. She has been a volunteer with many organizations including Lutheran Metropolitan Ministries, Girls on the Run Northeast Ohio, Autism Society of Greater Akron, The Rape Crisis Center of Summit and Medina Counties, Cleveland Animal Protective League, and The Centers for Families and Children.  Megan earned a BA, Summa Cum Laude in Clinical Psychology and a minor in Ballet Performance from the University of Akron and will earn her M. Ed. and LPC in 2017 in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Akron.
