Devin Feeney, MA, LPC

I distinctly remember a significant moment in my life when someone accepted me as I am – messy, broken, and good. Many of my experiences growing up taught me to hide my thoughts and feelings. I learned to mirror what others wanted to see, fearing that if they saw the real me, they’d disconnect and leave. The warmth and acceptance of being seen, accepted, and relationally secure left me astonished. As a counselor, I have the privilege of seeing my clients clearly, delighting in who they are, and holding the tension of life now and how life ought to be with them.

You are worthy of delight, safety, and care. Through various trials and experiences, this inherent belief has been squished, marred, or denied. Whether you are off-kilter internally, relationally, or with the world around you, my office is a steady space for you. Balance can be found again, and I hope to be a secure presence, navigating you through the imbalance you are experiencing. I see you. I know there is a blend of grief, pain, shame, strength, and joy all tangled up within you. Together, we can face these and move towards flourishing and wholeness.

I work with adults and families. What binds all these clients together is the desire for something in their lives to be different and a cry for help in achieving this. Many of the adults I work with are processing grief, relational struggles, parenting or caregiving challenges, trauma, and anxiety or depression. Together, we face these pains with curiosity and openness. The families I work with come in all sorts of shapes and sizes – blended, divorced, foster and adoptive, and families of adults, adolescents, or young children. I am passionate about empowering parents to be available, responsive, and empathetic to their child as the family experiences disruptions caused by transitions, loss, behavioral challenges, or trauma. It is a privilege of mine to help families find their footing again as life ebbs and flows.

Drawing from a blend of theoretical practices, I aim to orient care to meet your specific needs. My approach is grounded in attachment theory, yet I also integrate family systems work, Teyber’s interpersonal processing theory, trauma-based practices, and emotional regulation skills. Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) and Theraplay® inform my work with families, depending on the family makeup.
