JOLYN DAVIDSON, a graduate of the University of Washington (Seattle), is a licensed psychotherapist who has been in private practice for over thirty years in the Greater Los Angeles area.

She holds a BSN in nursing, an MSW in clinical social work, and an MA in social science. In addition, she holds diplomates from the National Association of Social Workers and the American Board of Examiners in Clinical Social Work. She has also served as a faculty member at both Biola University and Azusa Pacific University, where she (as Associate Director) was instrumental in developing an international Human Resource Leadership MA Program.

Jolyn provides clinical consultation to healthcare practitioners from a variety of disciplines and is a contributing author to psychotherapy books focusing on the treatment of emotional traumas sustained during early childhood. In addition, she has been a trainer for, and a consultant to, leaders in profit and non-profit organizations-both here and abroad.

In Transforming Wounds into Wisdom, Jolyn draws upon her broad-based and comprehensive experience as a clinician who has spent decades deeply immersed in her clinical work and study of the human psyche.

Through in-depth, relationally oriented therapy, she has helped children, adolescents, and adults change the dysfunctional attitudes and relationship patterns that have resulted from the early emotional injuries they have sustained. Her focus is on promoting psychological healing and integration-mind, body, and spirit. Jolyn is passionately committed to supporting others on their courageous journeys from woundedness to wisdom.
