Therapists in Tempe, AZ
Hello, I'm Devon. For more than 11 years, I've been practicing as a licensed mental health therapist, and prior to that, I spent time in the corporate sector and in the middle-school classroom. Though my titles have changed through the years, the constant has been that I've always been a trainer, mentor, coach, and educator committed to helping others. This journey has provided me with a wealth of substance and life experiences to draw from in my practice. I’ve undergone extensive education to be in my current role, but that doesn’t make me an expert in your life.

Life can bring both joy and pain. Sometimes the challenges we experience can feel overwhelming making it hard to find hope. Showing up and doing the vulnerable work towards healing is courageous. I have had the privilege of working with children and families in the field of education for 15 years. It was during my career as an educator I realized my passion to come alongside people facing difficulties that life can bring. It is my desire to walk with others through their pain towards healing and hope.

***Not currently accepting new patients at this time*** Whether it's a recent loss, a traumatic event, or even our own negative thinking, life circumstances can get in the way of living the life we want. When this becomes overwhelming, sometimes it's hard even to make the simplest decisions. Therapy can help you work through difficult emotions and unhealthy habits that lead to that "stuck" feeling. My job is to help you navigate through the things that get in the way of you living a valued life, a life where you wake up each day feeling confident and motivated to achieve your goals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 8 years of experience in mental health, working with children, adolescents and adults. I value the story because I believe that stories hold power. It is my job to help my clients find their unique story and the strengths that reside between the lines. Telling a story requires safety as stories sometimes hold the most vulnerable parts of ourselves. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore those vulnerabilities as they process past trauma as well as current stressors that lead to depression and anxiety.

As a marriage and family therapist, my focus is relationships and attachment. For those healing from a relationship injury (affairs or other hurtful events), I follow a structured process to repair, understand, and re-envision the future. The stresses of life can create disconnection with your loved one(s). I help couples, families, and individuals learn their relationship patterns and practice communication skills. Some of this stress appears in conflicts about mental load/invisible labor in which I help couples anticipate and interrupt their negative cycles. Another focus of my work is sexual wellness and all that it encompasses.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
