"People can feel stuck only to repeat bad habits that keep them from goals and dreams. These patterns are usually what keeps us stuck and frustrated. Change is possible and achievable! I join my clients on their journey to help them become encouraged and find ways to reconnect to themselves as well as others around them. A focus in my practice is helping clients to feel heard and understood as well as guiding them in making attainable goals that will enhance and enrich their quality of life. Working as a team, we will look at many aspects of the patterns in your life that may be harmful, ineffective, or simply unhelpful."

"My approach to therapy is active and direct, yet compassionate. Together, we will explore to find solutions that will bring you positive change and happiness. I work using a variety of modalities including EMDR, psychodynamic, and DBT in order to customize your treatment for maximum and lasting results. My specialties include working with both men and women who face various sexual issues, from performance and/or medical concerns to exploration of gender and sexuality. Although I have been trained in and specialize in a few areas, I see a variety of clients. I prefer to take a holistic approach in my work with clients. I believe that every aspect of your daily life impacts you psychologically and therefore must be explored when looking for the lasting solutions to what troubles you most."

Devin Cooper
"From temporary stressors to large life changes, I believe in approaching each challenge as an opportunity for meaningful and long-lasting growth. I have experience working with a range of issues throughout the lifespan. Anxiety, stress, worry, and tough times are part of life, together we can find the lasting strength to commit to a better tomorrow. I approach working with each client in an individualized, personal way. I believe in the power of a therapist and client to form a team that cultivates growth, empowerment, and lasting change. I bring tools from cognitive therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness into my work. I focus, largely, on acceptance and commitment therapy."

"You might feel like you are stuck in an old pattern or at the end of your rope. You might be wondering, "How did I end up here?" You might be a parent distanced from your teen or a teen who feels misunderstood. You could be a young adult asking “Who am I?” Perhaps you are a couple who aren't sure you still like each other. I offer compassionate support and hope for teens, adults, and couples who want something different with their lives but don't know where to start. Through gentle exploration and the opportunity to try new behaviors, you can experience growth and healing and have better, more fulfilling relationships. I work with various populations, including teens, young adults, adults, and couples. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma symptoms. Our sessions focus on your individual experiences and can include family exploration, humor, or movement. We may spend time examining thought patterns. Our direction will be based on your needs."
