Devan Briggs MC, LPC

Living in a constant state of worry or concern, and feeling unsettled is beyond uncomfortable. Anxiety is one of the most common symptoms therapists see, especially in adolescents. Pressures from school, social media, and figuring out your identity as you grow up can be overwhelming. I can guide you in gaining confidence, learning strategies, and being able to learn to let go to help clear your mind, relax your body, and stop the chatter of non-stop thoughts.

If you're reading this, I imagine the daily pressures of life along with the need to do everything right and be "perfect" became too much. Food becomes something to comfort, numb, or restrain from. Soon all you are able to do is think about, plan around, and focus on is food and body image. Sound familiar? This doesn’t have to be your life. Through therapy, you can learn to let go of food ruling your life and learn to have more self-compassion and acceptance for yourself. ​

DBT can be really helpful to guide clients to have a deeper understanding of how they interact with their emotions, themselves, and others. All of us struggle at times in our lives, and DBT can help identify patterns of thinking and reacting that may have been helpful at one time in our lives, though no longer serve us. I help you in breaking these patterns and starting new, healthier ones.

Trying to figure out who you are and feeling confident in your identity is hard as you're growing up. Maybe you struggle with accepting something about yourself or not even knowing where to start. I know it can be overwhelming to make sense of everything, and that's where I can help. I create a safe, accepting, non-judgmental environment where we can work together to make sense of everything that's going on, and help you face the world with confidence.

Acknowledging and working with all different parts of ourselves is key in removing shame and starting the healing process. If we shun certain parts of ourself, we are only getting half the story. Internal family systems works with and welcomes all parts of ourselves, and helps us get a deeper understanding and appreciation for the complex person we are.
