Hi, I’m Ingrid DeVries, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 14 years of experience supporting youth, adults, and older adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, substance use, and major life transitions.

I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been trying to manage everything on your own. My goal is to create a warm, safe, and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about what you’re experiencing.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply ready for something to change, we’ll work together to better understand what’s going on and help you feel more confident and in control of your life.

I provide virtual therapy for adolescents, adults, and older adults throughout Nebraska, helping people navigate anxiety, LGBTQIA+ concerns, maternal mental health, and relationship issues while also supporting women's issues, family challenges, trauma, stress, infertility, identity exploration, panic disorders, and cultural experiences that often become part of life's biggest transitions.
