About Devan
Hi, I'm Devan James, and I'm here to walk alongside you in your healing journey.
I specialize in helping adults who feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them—whether from past trauma, religious wounding, or the struggle to live authentically in a world that hasn't always made space for who you truly are.
My approach centers on creating a relationship where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and valued for exactly who you are. I draw from person-centered therapy, somatic approaches, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and reclaim parts of yourself that may have gone into hiding.
As a queer therapist and member of the LGBTQ+ community who has navigated my own journey through religious deconstruction and identity development, I bring both professional expertise and lived understanding to this work. You deserve support that affirms your full humanity and helps you build a life rooted in your authentic truth.
My Specialties
LGBTQ+ Affirmative Counseling
Your queerness isn't an illness—but therapy still helps. Whether you're questioning your identity, navigating coming out, or dealing with discrimination and family rejection, I provide affirming support that honors your authentic self. As a queer therapist, I understand the unique challenges of living as a sexual or gender minority.

Leaving a rigid faith system can feel like losing everything—your identity, your community, your sense of certainty. I guide people through the process of healing from religious wounding and building new foundations rooted in authentic values rather than inherited doctrine. You can reclaim your voice and find meaning beyond what you were taught.
Learn More About Religious Trauma Recovery →PTSD & Trauma Healing
Trauma lives in your body, not just your mind. Using EMDR therapy and somatic approaches, I help you process traumatic memories safely so they become part of your past rather than feeling present and threatening. Whether you're dealing with complex trauma, identity-based trauma, or single incidents, healing is possible.
Learn More About Trauma Treatment →Anxiety & Panic Disorders
When anxiety takes over, your nervous system is trying to protect you from dangers that may no longer be present. I help you understand your anxiety responses, develop nervous system regulation tools, and address the root causes rather than just managing symptoms. You can learn to feel safe in your own skin again.
Learn More About Anxiety Treatment →Therapy for Men
Many men struggle with the pressure to be strong, stoic, and self-sufficient—often at the cost of their emotional wellbeing. I provide a non-judgmental space to explore vulnerability, process emotions, and develop healthier relationships with yourself and others. Whether you're dealing with anger, relationship conflicts, or identity questions, therapy can help you reclaim your authentic masculinity.

Whether you're navigating gender identity, sexual orientation, young adulthood, or major life changes, I provide support for discovering who you are beneath what others expected you to be. This work is about reclaiming your authentic self and building confidence in your own truth.
My Approach
Compassionate & Non-Judgmental
You'll find a safe space free from shame or pressure to be anyone other than who you are.
Trauma-Informed
I understand how past experiences shape present responses and tailor our work to support your nervous system's healing.
Affirming of All Identities
Your LGBTQ+ identity, neurodivergence, racial/cultural background, and all aspects of who you are will be honored and respected.
Practical & Empowering
You'll gain concrete tools for managing difficult moments while exploring deeper patterns and wounds that need healing.
Following Your Unique Journey
Your healing unfolds in its own time and way. I follow your natural process rather than imposing timelines or agendas, trusting your inner wisdom to guide our work together.
Rooted in Relationship
The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a healing experience—perhaps the first place where you've felt truly seen and accepted.
