Hello, I'm Devan! I have been working in the mental health field for over ten years now. I started my journey by working in direct care for at risk youth and adults with autism. Since getting my degree and license I have been working on developing my skills as an ACT therapist.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.
I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.
I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.

Hi, I’m Megan. I’m really glad you’re here. I’m a licensed therapist who cares deeply about helping people feel more grounded, understood, and connected to themselves again. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, grieving, or just trying to make sense of things, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I show up with compassion, curiosity, and a pace that meets you where you are.
I work with people navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, life transitions, and the quiet heaviness that builds over time. My goal is to create a space where you can be fully yourself, even when life feels messy, uncertain, or heavier than you expected.
I believe that most people have the answers within themselves to work through their own problems - my role is to help you unlock that inner wisdom. I have experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety and depression, or who are numbing out through substance use. My clients are often working through life transitions and other challenging situations, such as relationship issues, grief, or chronic pain. Perhaps you have not been handling your emotions very well. You may even feel hopeless, or unsure how to articulate what you are feeling. Therapy is a collaborative journey to a more healthy state of mind.
I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Tennessee and hold my clinical licensure in the state of North Carolina. I have spent much of my career serving those at end of life and also have experience assisting caregivers, those in transitional phases of life, and those who are bereaved. As a mother, I am invested in the wellness of all mothers and women and feel deep appreciation for the way mothers show up for countless others before themselves. I look forward to learning how I can walk alongside you in this journey.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Wake Forest, NC
Searching for therapists in Wake Forest starts with finding the right fit for what you want to address in care. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare Wake Forest therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Wake Forest has local therapy options, and the broader Wake County area can add more choices. Since local appointment openings may vary, virtual therapy can make it easier to find a therapist whose schedule and focus fit what you need. When narrowing your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers in-person or virtual appointments, has appointment times that work for your calendar, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading each profile before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Wake Forest can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
