I help individuals who are aged 16 years and older, as well as their families and loved ones.

I do not limit our services by medical condition. People with any diagnosis (or no diagnosis) will be considered, as long as they want to establish and work on their life goals. Although I don’t limit myself to any specific diagnosis, I do often work for individuals with complicated diagnoses such as schizophrenia, Asperger syndrome, Down syndrome, traumatic brain injuries, depression, anxiety, and high-functioning autism.

I operate on a fee-for-service basis and do not accept insurance. This allows me to select the best activities and support systems for you to move toward your goals as rapidly as possible. I do not conform to a medical model that is designed for traditional rehabilitative and habilitative services.

Typically my fee is $140/hour, but because everyone’s situation is unique my services vary based on your personal needs and goals. All occupational therapy and transitional services are billed on an hourly basis, and can be prorated as needed. I negotiate with clients to determine how much or little time and assistance is needed.

Bright Futures has moved from Chicago to the SE Denver area. Dr. Davidson will start working with clients and families in the Denver area in early 2023. An office location is yet to be determined.

I meet with clients at their convenience, so I am happy to arrange a time or day that fits your personal schedule.

When you give me a call or request a consultation, you will be treated with complete respect and compassion. There is no charge for this initial telephone consultation, and I will answer your questions about my services, and focus on your concerns, needs and ideas for the person for whom you are seeking help. Together, we will determine whether our services are a good fit your needs. If so, I will plan a free face-to-face meeting to discuss your needs and concerns in more depth.

The length of our relationship will be largely dependent upon your goals, needs, and personal preferences. The combination of your needs and my expert advice will help determine the pace, frequency, and duration of our time together. I am tenacious in my pursuit of best-fit resources and situations and strive to deliver excellent outcomes as quickly and efficiently as possible. I provide an excellent value and intend to significantly improve the lives of my clients.

I understand that as life goes on, the needs, goals and opportunities of individuals and their families can evolve. Because of this, our work together will change and evolve as needed to reach your goals.

Bright Futures is radically different from traditional case management practices. I work for you and am not constrained by overly large caseloads or rulebooks. I am an experienced professional who is comfortable both with working within systems and inventing new and creative options outside of the existing systems. I listen to my clients, and meeting their hopes and needs is my only task.

Absolutely! Transition planning typically begins in middle school or high school, although it does not end there. We can consult with you to prepare for the IEP/ITP meetings, to identify and articulate your child’s goals and share ideas about how they might best be met. If you wish, we will accompany you to the meetings in the role of advocate and support person.

I work to educate key individuals within the community about the appropriate ways to interact with people who have special needs or unique obstacles to overcome. Encouraging employers and marketers to recognize the untapped potential of my clientele base is a huge part of community development and support. Through this approach, I hope to strengthen the bond between our community and the people that need us.

The possibilities are nearly endless, but here are a few ideas
