Introducing our Intern Therapist, Devon (he/him)! From his bio:
"I’m currently a student intern pursuing a master's in the Counseling Psychology program at the University of Denver. I obtained my bachelor's degree from Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania, my home state. I aim to eventually specialize in areas dealing with Eating Disorders, S*x and Intimacy, Q***rness, and Gender. Regardless of what you come in with, I believe in the importance of empathy, cultural humility, and making care as client-centered as possible. No one person is the same, and neither are their life experiences, so I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I value and invite us to explore the implicit interactions between our identities, making them visible, and discussing how they manifest in our daily lives. Western perspectives on therapy often overlook many cultural practices and components; therefore, I aim to acknowledge both the benefits they offer and the opportunity to incorporate other practices that are otherwise overlooked. I hope that with this notion, we can create a relationship that best suits your growth as a form of resistance and advocacy.
My approach is grounded in behavioral, relational, and integrative principles. I always aim to center authenticity, empathy, and humility. I believe we are always learning, and by emphasizing these principles, I hope that together we can foster lasting change. I am a firm believer in adopting a non-judgmental standpoint, where we can openly discuss topics of shame, grief, and celebration from a non-judgmental perspective. With this perspective, I aim to create a space where clients can explore their emotions, experiences, and thoughts with self-compassion and curiosity, in a society that often makes it difficult to do so. Through my education and research, I have adopted various theoretical standpoints, including Q***r Theory, Gender Minority Stress Theories, Critical Race Theory, Intersectionality Theory, and Radical Hope Theory, among others. I hope that by creating a wide range of theoretical understandings, it will help me understand how you’re showing up in the space and how we can connect."
