Ingrid DeVries

Therapist

Virtual • Nebraska


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.

Kwynn Kelly

Therapist

Virtual • Nebraska


I’ve learned a ton from four years in community mental health - I’m not going to judge anything you bring to session! This gave me a foundation in crisis intervention, anger management, identity shifts, relationships, trauma, and substance use disorders.

I’m a fan of motivational interviewing, and I’ll affirm your thoughts and feelings often. I also give space to challenge thought patterns or behaviors that aren’t in line with your values. I love finding out what makes you feel like you and supporting all that that includes!

Maribel Garcia

Maribel Garcia

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Nebraska


I believe mental health care works best when people feel truly known, respected, and safe. My approach combines evidence-based psychiatric care and medication management with compassionate, whole-person support. I work with children, teens, and adults, and I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being honest without fear of judgment.

For clients who desire it, I also offer Catholic-integrated care that honors the role faith can play in healing, identity, relationships, suffering, purpose, and hope. My goal is never to pressure or preach, but to thoughtfully integrate Catholic values, spirituality, prayer, or faith-based perspectives into treatment in a clinically appropriate and supportive way. I especially enjoy helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, postpartum mental health, motherhood transitions, trauma, relationship stress, life changes, and struggles related to self-worth or burnout.

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I provide medication management while also taking time to understand the deeper emotional, relational, lifestyle, and spiritual factors affecting mental health. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I am warm, approachable, thorough, and collaborative rather than rushed or impersonal.

Whether you are looking for practical symptom relief, deeper healing, or a provider who understands and respects your faith, my hope is that you feel supported, heard, and encouraged throughout the process.
