Cofounder and Executive Director
Richla Davis, M.Ed., LCPC
I’ve always been fascinated by people and their stories. I realized that this curiosity had led me to a career where I get to help others heal and grow—and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I’m Richla (she/her), cofounder of Ida Lillie Psychotherapy and Wellness, and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. My approach to healing is by guiding you through a journey of fostering self compassion and self awareness, allowing you to create deeply fulfilling relationships. I am interested in the whole you, examining the complexities of your identities in order to reveal who you are and how you came to be.
In addition to my work as a clinician, I train individual clinicians to integrate an anti-racist lens into their practice. I also train group practice owners who are passionate about becoming anti-oppressive leaders. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from DePaul University and my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from DePaul University.
