Heather Adkins Devereaux

Who We Are

Heather Adkins-Devereaux is a Licensed Specialized Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and Registered Play Therapist (RPT) dedicated to healing the mind, body, and brain of children, adolescents, and adults. She combines two therapeutic modalities in her work: play therapy to address underlying childhood trauma, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to release past trauma and reduce anxiety and depression.

Our Approach

Heather believes in empowering individuals to take control of their own mental well-being. She utilizes a holistic approach that combines cognitive, emotional, and somatic (body-based) interventions to promote lasting change.

1. Play Therapy

Play therapy is a powerful tool for healing and growth. Using play as a language, children and adults explore their feelings, resolve conflicts, and develop essential social and emotional skills.

2. EMDR Therapy

EMDR helps clients process traumatic memories in a safe and controlled environment. By reconnecting with traumatic memories and mitigating their impact, clients achieve lasting relief from anxiety, nightmares, flashbacks, and racing thoughts.

3. Somatic Experience

Somatic experiencing focuses on the connection between the mind and body. Techniques like mindful movement, body awareness, and breathwork are used to soothe physical and emotional tension, improve posture, and enhance overall well-being.

Our Values

Our practice is founded on the following values:

• Empowerment: We believe in supporting clients to take ownership of their healing journey.
• Compassion: We treat every client with empathy and understanding.
• Collaboration: We work in partnership with clients to develop personalized treatment plans.
• Growth: We are committed to continuous learning and professional development.
