We are connective, social beings, and we all need a support system to help guide us out of the ruts in which we find ourselves. I want to empower you to harness your own strengths, meet the world on your own terms, and make your needs heard, even if you're having trouble finding your voice.

I feel both honored and privileged to partner with individuals and couples to build their understanding of their challenges, leverage their strengths, and create personalized strategies to make meaningful changes in their lives. As a therapist with ADHD, I recognize that one of the most painful experiences that come with ADHD is feeling “in your own way” and the sense of thwarted potential that comes along with it. I also know that ADHD doesn’t just impact attention, organization, and motivation; it can affect your entire life, from your performance at work to your home life and inner world.

I have been a clinical psychologist for over 40 years and have assisted people with a wide range of human concerns: depression, anxiety, fear, trauma, relationships, and the ordinary challenges in life's journey. My experience as a child therapist has been useful in supporting parents and grandparents. Whether people seek to know themselves better or are troubled by life's circumstances, our work together is to create the changes sought, and, in the process, make the necessary choices to attain self-sufficiency through emotional understanding and independence; substituting a healthy curiosity for shame, self-judgment and guilt.

Hello, I'm Devann! Please allow me to introduce myself. I completed my BA in psychology at Temple University in 2003. Following several years of employment at an inpatient eating disorder program I went on to complete my MSW at Widener University in 2008. I have practiced individual, family, and group therapy sessions in both inpatient and outpatient settings with a primary focus on eating disorders, anxiety, addiction recovery, depression, and life transitions.

My privilege as your therapist is to provide the opportunity and environment that will allow you as the client to feel safe to discuss any issue. I am a fully licensed clinical mental health counselor. As a professional, I always meet my clients where they are to help them transform and find change, learn growth and gain insight.

You are exploring this website because, like many of us, you have been challenged by unpredictable life events and deserve support. A good therapist should be a skilled professional with whom you feel comfortable being your authentic self. I am hopeful that I can be the support that you seek. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, with over 20 years of clinical experience, who helps individuals, couples and families. I am a published author and have been interviewed by 6ABC, WURD, the Philadelphia Inquirer, KYW, and other news outlets.

I believe my role on this journey is to help you understand yourself better, provide support when times are hard, and help you figure out ways to make change by focusing on areas within your locus of control. Over the years I have worked with many children, individuals, and families from all walks of life; helping individuals and families along their journey of self-discovery and healing. I believe that individuals and families know themselves best and my role is to help increase self-confidence and self-awareness so they can figure out what is best for each individual and for families and their family systems.

Are you broken on the inside? Are you an anxious person, a depressed person, an angry person, a grieving person, a victim, or an addict to certain substances or behaviors or people? I know you’re speaking honestly and from experience, but I also know you're far more. All of us possess an inner healing intelligence we can tap to make ourselves whole, perhaps even more so than we ever remember being. Through talk therapy and focus on mindfulness, values and acceptance, we can figure out how to live meaningfully, not by feeling less but by feeling more, and better.

Are you experiencing anxiety or depression and in need of someone to talk to? Are you experiencing changes in your life that are overwhelming and stressful? Are you feeling inadequate or like you’ve lost hope in life or feeling down but can’t explain why? Are you having trouble in your relationships?

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist. I've also practiced meditation in the Zen tradition for about 20 years, so I specialize in counseling couples and individuals who want to incorporate a more mindful way of being in life. We do this by exploring the present moment: looking at what is happening in the body, the mind, and the spirit--right here, right now. I help clients unlock old, painful patterns, and together we look at what is truly informing the emotional reactions and thought patterns governing our lives, so that a more awake and more joyful life can be lived.

My inclusive work focuses on: Helping people to feel safe, and to feel seen and valued for who they are, wherever they are; those struggling with trauma, chronic pain, grief and loss, PTSD, depression and anxiety; phobias, racing thoughts, crossroads and upheaval; as well as Body Image, with a specific focus on Body Neutrality and Health At Every Size (HAES) – all with mindfulness, compassion, and acceptance.

I’m a social worker/therapist in Philadelphia who supports adults struggling with anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, relationship issues, and challenges with confidence/body image. My practice is called Talking the Walk to reflect the core therapeutic values of slowing down, prioritizing experience, integrating mind and body, and embracing paradox. I’m passionate about using these values to help you heal from trauma, reconnect to the wisdom of your body, and cultivate more authentic and fulfilling relationships—with others and, even more importantly—with yourself.

Tired of repeating old, unsatisfying patterns in relationship? Ready to break free from constricting insecurities and inhibitions? Need help being kinder and more accepting toward yourself? Want to live less in your thoughts and more in your body? Working therapeutically with expanded states of consciousness allows us to reach to the very sources of psychological suffering - offering release from our deepest and oldest traumas, and restoring a sense of meaning and belonging that modern life has made hard to find.

When we've experienced hard, scary, or traumatizing events in our past, it can be difficult to move forward. We often feel stuck in the anxiety, depression, and negative thoughts that result.
