Devin is someone I am genuinely so happy to have as part of Welling Wellness. She’s incredibly intelligent, warm, funny, approachable, and genuinely inclusive. She also happens to be a professor, which is a pretty good reflection of just how thoughtful and knowledgeable she is.
But beyond all of that, Devin is simply a really great person—and that matters to me.
When I think about the kind of therapists I want in this practice, I want people who are excellent at what they do, but I also want people who are kind, genuine, curious, and easy to be around. People who can take their work seriously without taking themselves too seriously.
Devin is exactly that.
Someone Who Makes People Feel Comfortable
One of the things I appreciate most about Devin is how approachable she is.
She has a way of making people feel comfortable being themselves. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you come into a session with her. You don’t have to know exactly what you want to talk about or have the perfect words to explain what’s going on.
You can just show up.
And I think that is such an important quality in a therapist.
Therapy can already feel vulnerable. Having someone across from you who is warm, open, and genuinely interested in understanding you can make a huge difference.
Devin brings that kind of presence naturally.
She’s Incredibly Intelligent
And yes, Devin is a professor.
She teaches psychology at Towson University, which feels very fitting because she is someone who is genuinely curious and loves learning. She brings a lot of knowledge and thoughtfulness to her work, but what I really appreciate is that she doesn’t make that knowledge feel intimidating.
She’s smart without making you feel like you’re being lectured.
She can take something complicated and make it feel understandable, relevant, and actually useful.
That combination of knowledge and warmth is one of the things that makes Devin such a wonderful therapist.
She Creates an Inclusive Space
Devin is also someone who genuinely values inclusivity and making people feel seen for who they are.
She works with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, OCD, panic, perfectionism, trauma, mood concerns, identity exploration, and other experiences that can make life feel complicated. She also has a particular interest in working with women and LGBTQ+ clients.
But beyond the specialties listed on a website, I think the way someone approaches people matters just as much.
Devin is curious about people’s experiences. She doesn’t make assumptions. She creates space for people to talk about the parts of themselves that may not always feel easy to share.
That is a big part of what I value about her.
And She’s Funny
Devin is also funny.
And I think that matters.
Therapy can involve some really serious conversations. There are difficult moments, uncomfortable realizations, and things that can feel heavy.
But therapy doesn’t have to feel serious every second.
There is room for humor. There is room to laugh. There is room to be a whole person.
Devin has a great ability to bring that warmth and personality into her work without ever minimizing what someone is experiencing.
Why I’m So Glad She’s Part of Welling Wellness
When I started Welling Wellness, I knew I wanted to build a practice with therapists who were not only excellent clinicians, but genuinely good people.
That continues to be one of the most important things to me as the practice grows.
I want people who are knowledgeable and compassionate.
People who are curious and open-minded.
People who care about their clients and care about the work they do.
And people who bring their own personalities into the room.
Devin does all of that.
She’s intelligent, funny, thoughtful, approachable, and incredibly inclusive. She’s someone you can have a serious conversation with, laugh with, learn from, and simply feel comfortable around.
And at the end of the day, she’s just a really great person.
I’m really happy she’s part of Welling Wellness, and I think our clients are lucky to have her.
If you’re looking for a therapist who is warm, thoughtful, affirming, knowledgeable, and genuinely approachable, Devin may be a great fit for you.
