I believe that an authentic relationship and attachment-based approach is essential in order to support you in this journey. My practice welcomes people across the spectrum of experiences and challenges - from those struggling with anxiety, depression, or schizophrenia, to pre-teens grappling with bullying at school.

I am Deven West, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I am dedicated to improving the mental and emotional well being of my clients. I focus on supporting my clients through their personal healing and progress. My priorities are to create a safe and conducive environment for my clients to trust the therapeutic process. I help support the therapeutic journey of my clients by learning important interactions of thoughts and emotions, managing negative narratives, working to address maladaptive behaviors, and understanding relationship dynamics with others.

Many people come to my office saying: "Nothing ever changes in my life"; "I'm not good enough" or “I feel so alone” or simply feeling like day-to-day life isn't aligning with the life they envisioned. Depression, anxiety, and difficulty regulating emotions can add to the stresses of everyday life. I offer genuine acceptance and connection in a way that allows for us to understand, and work with emotions, empowering you to navigate life as your true self.

I personally know what it is like to reach out for support. Everyone has a unique story, and therapy doesn’t look the same for any two people. I am committed to remaining curious, non-judgemental and open to understanding you. I believe that it is imperative to be grounded in evidence-based practices, I find it equally as important to be genuine and compassionate within this very connection-based work. I primarily utilize humanistic and narrative therapeutic approaches, and often incorporate other modalities to best address the unique needs of each person I work with. I am trained in and offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

"Finding the support we need, to help us through hard times, is such an important part of our personal journey. I believe in the power of a therapeutic relationship being one way to gain that support. I offer a comfortable, caring environment in hopes we can build on your strengths and create the life you desire."

I believe that each client knows their lives best, and therapy can be a combined journey between therapist and client. I use strength-based, motivational and solution focused approaches to best help my clients. By doing this, I believe that you will begin to heal at your own pace and in your own way. Although therapy can be uncomfortable, we can encourage the change and growth to better our lives. I believe we can find appreciation and peace in working together to heal. My goal is for you to have found therapy worth your while.

Working from a Solution-Focused approach I find that helping clients find alternative ways of handling all they struggles of everyday life.

Starting on the path of counseling or therapy can be a bit intimidating. However, it doesn’t need to be. Working in a friendly and caring environment and with an understanding and caring counselor can make the process easier, more comfortable, and even fun. Sometimes we may feel as though we are broken; but I don’t believe anyone is actually broken, they are just doing something in a way that they wish they weren’t. The trick is to find a new way, an enjoyable way, a way that rejuvenates, reinvigorates, and brings zest to life. To learn more please reach out or schedule an appointment on my website. I'm happy to help : )
