[Note: email TNC (vicki@trunorthcounseling.com) if you would like to be put on a wait list.] As a teen, adult and family therapist (ages 13 to 99+) I have experience working with clients in a variety of settings including schools, homes, and office environments. If you are worried about a traumatic event that has happened to you or your child and are wondering how you are going to move forward, I can help.

My name is Joan McDevitt and I am looking forward to assisting you if you are going through a difficult time in your life. Perhaps it is a life transition, stressful events, or having problems with anger, grief and loss, feelings, mood, behavior, or thoughts. Maybe a loved one passed away months or years ago and the sadness is unbearable. Or you could be struggling with memories, images, and feelings resulting from a traumatic event. And you are looking for a compassionate therapist who will guide and support you on your path to healing and thriving.

I believe that every human being truly has their own answers within themselves. My job is to come alongside you and help you discover yours. The pain of the past forms a belief about our identity for today. It is this skewed perception of self that actually keeps us at odds with our choices about our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Using different techniques, such as CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, I help you process emotions, and identify limiting beliefs that have created roadblocks in your life. We work together to heal from pain, harness the power of true self-acceptance, and create peace and confidence.

As far as anyone knows you are successful, intelligent, and hard-working. But underneath that surface is someone who struggles with fears, obsessions, compulsions, phobias, nervous feelings, and constant worries.

They spend lots of time organizing, cleaning, checking, washing their hands, and making sure things feel just right. Ladies who see me often have a past history of traumatic experiences.

Therapy doesn’t have to be scary or uncomfortable. Many people feel alone with their thoughts and emotions, and yet most of the time we realize through a conversation that we aren’t alone at all. As human beings we all suffer from common experiences of fear, anxiety, depression, and sadly trauma. I offer a chance to sit down in a quiet, comfortable environment, to have a conversation about life. Let me hear your story and give yourself a chance to see how simple therapy can be.

It’s easy to find ourselves ‘stuck’ – whether in negative patterns of thinking, hurtful relationships, or in the all-to-familiar traps of anxiety and depression. Over my nearly fifteen years of clinical experience, I’ve helped clients (single and married) from all walks of life bridge the gap between where they are and where they long to be. For some, growth looks like re-established relational connections, more effective communication skills, healthier boundaries, or greater self-acceptance and contentment with life.

It’s easy to feel hopeless and overwhelmed when everyday is marked by constant worry. It can seem like no matter what new trick you read about you can’t kick the worry to the curb. It’s been months, maybe even years, and the burden of it feels too much to carry.  You worry about friendships, worst cast scenarios, having a panic attack in public and you try to look like you have it all together.  It's likely that everyone believes that you do have it all together. You have gotten pretty good at wearing that mask over the years, but you're tired of playing that role. Freedom from the cycle of anxiety is possible.

I work with adults, adolescents, couples, families, and children. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches uniquely catered to each client and based on a treatment plan that we develop together. I do not believe that each therapist is automatically the best person for every client that walks through their door, but that the client needs to "click" with the therapist they work with so they have room to do the work they need to do. The possibility for change is powerful and the therapeutic process is often a catalyst and a supportive environment for change.
