Devon Atkins

Empowering clients to rewrite their life stories and live authentically is at the heart of Devon Atkins' therapeutic approach. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Devon combines a strengths-based, client-centered methodology with the powerful techniques of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to create a transformative therapeutic experience.

Devon's journey in mental health began at Bradley University, where she earned her Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Women's and Gender Studies. Her passion for helping others led her to pursue a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the same institution, solidifying her expertise in the field.

With a wealth of clinical experience, Devon has honed her skills working with both adolescents and adults across various treatment settings, including Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), and outpatient environments. This diverse background has equipped her to address a wide spectrum of mental health concerns, particularly eating disorders, mood disorders, anxiety, and interpersonal issues.

At the core of Devon's practice is the belief that each individual possesses a unique narrative that gives their life meaning. She recognizes that sometimes these personal stories can become restrictive, hindering growth and limiting possibilities for a fulfilling life. In response, Devon creates a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore and reimagine their narratives. By doing so, she empowers individuals to align their stories with their true values and goals, fostering meaningful personal growth and self-discovery.

Devon's therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in the principles of ACT and CBT, which she skillfully integrates to help clients navigate their challenges. These evidence-based methodologies, combined with her client-centered focus, allow Devon to tailor her approach to each individual's unique needs and circumstances. Whether working with adolescents navigating the complexities of young adulthood or adults seeking to overcome longstanding struggles, Devon is committed to guiding her clients towards a life of authenticity and purpose.

Currently accepting new patients, Devon stands ready to embark on a transformative journey with those seeking to rewrite their life stories and live more fully aligned with their values. Her compassionate guidance and professional expertise make her a valuable ally for anyone looking to overcome mental health challenges and unlock their full potential.
