Living with Complex PTSD, grief, depression, anxiety, or a combination thereof, can feel like you're carrying a heavy emotional weight that affects every part of your life. Whether it's flashbacks, overwhelming sadness and worry, intense stress and fear, or the numbness from trauma and depression, these feelings can make daily tasks feel insurmountable. My goal is to support you through these difficult emotions, helping you build internal strength, enhance your resilience, process losses, and manage depressive and anxiety symptoms. Your values, beliefs, and any cultural/religious/spiritual practices matter to me.

Hi, I’m Dr. Devin Randle. I specialize in helping people navigate big life transitions – like entering adulthood, significant relationship changes, shifting careers, or navigating parenthood. During these times, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, like an imposter, or a little lost. I’m here to help you work through the noise, explore why these patterns keep popping up in your life, collaborate on goals, and find that connection back to yourself. Parenthood can specifically be a huge identity shift. For those TTC, pregnant, or in early parenthood - I'm here to help as a certified perinatal mental health specialist and a fellow mother.

I believe that healing happens when we pay attention to all the parts that make us whole—our mind, body, and soul. My theoretical orientation is influenced by Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Emotionally-Focused, Humanistic-Experiential, and Narrative approaches to treatment. This means that we will be going on an emotional journey together in which I will use an eclectic combination of clinical theories and techniques to help guide my work. I believe that the lack of emotional awareness and avoiding uncomfortable emotions can cause harm to our mind, body, and soul. My hope is to help you get to know yourself better.

I am fascinated by the affects of attachment and bonding on interpersonal relationships and have a deep commitment to helping people articulate and address the core issues with which they struggle. I am currently working towards my PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification), as I am passionate about supporting women and families experiencing fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy/infant loss, TFMR, grief, adoption, and parenting. I am a a mom who struggled with postpartum anxiety and OCD with both of my pregnancies, so I know firsthand how shameful and isolating these experiences can be.

Life can be tough sometimes. Whether you're navigating a diagnosis, feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, or just wanting to feel more fulfilled in your relationships and day-to-day life, you're not alone, and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. My goal as your therapist is to support you in creating a life that feels meaningful and enjoyable. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing you down, get curious about what’s getting in the way, and work toward the kind of change that feels right for you. Therapy isn’t about "fixing" you it’s about helping you reconnect with your own strength, clarity, and purpose.

Bilingual (Spanish & English) services– Life can be difficult sometimes, when we experience anxiety, stress, sadness, and continuous disappointment or failure. Sometimes we manage to overcome them and other times we get used to living with those difficult emotions and negative thoughts, which negatively impact the way we perceive ourselves and the world. It shouldn't be like this! Suffering is inherent to life, however, it should not be greater than growth and satisfaction.

Life can feel chaotic. Whether you are considering your first time in treatment, continuing or returning to treatment, my goal is to provide you with the platform and skills to effectively evaluate, identify and create solutions to help you. It’s important to remember that therapy is not always about ‘fixing’ a problem. Sometimes, it is about learning how to work with the problem by creating awareness, strengthening insight, developing or broadening skills you already have. It is a joint effort between the therapist and the client, working together, to impact change and bring balance to what may otherwise feel out of control.

Working with children, teenagers, adults, and families has been my priority for the past decade in order to help them develop the skills they need to build healthy lives. My goal is to create a safe environment in which individuals feel comfortable expressing themselves openly and free of judgment. I believe in working as a team in order to help each person develop insight in themselves and their situation, while cultivating their strengths, and highlighting their resiliency. When needed, I involve parents, families, psychiatrists, and physicians in order to ensure collaboration to increase the client's support within treatment.
