Michelle DeVries, LCSW
I am a board certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is originally from Riverside, California. I moved to Austin, Texas over 5 years ago, solo, on a whim. Once I relocated to a cute countryside home in the outskirts of Seguin, I joined InMindOut providing therapy services to individuals. I received my bachelor’s as well as master’s degree in social work at San Diego State University in San Diego California.
My professional journey began as an intern delivering children’s therapy and as a group leader for Kids’ Turn San Diego. Kids’ Turn specialized in services supporting issues of grief and separation for high conflict divorce as well as military separation and transitions. Following the internship, I was hired as a clinician. At the same time, I worked part time as a children’s counselor at the San Diego Center for Children, a residential treatment program. During my graduate program, I worked as an intern with Vista Hill Parent Care, providing perinatal case management for pregnant and parenting mothers struggling with substance use and addiction, as well as early child behavioral intervention for their infants, toddlers, and young children.
After moving to Austin, I got a job at Dell Children’s Mental Health Unit, an inpatient psychiatric unit for children and adolescents. Part of this responsibility included working in the emergency department completing crisis assessments. This position involved supporting various diagnoses including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders and chemical dependency. After a few years working vigorous hours in the hospital, I received my LCSW and felt the pull to revisit psychotherapy and again support clients on an individualized level. I use a culturally competent approach imploring the strengths perspective, cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma-informed care to support individuals.
During my free time I enjoy spending quality time with friends and family, embarking on new adventures, and spending time outdoors. I can’t forget to include my beloved cat Nugget/Nug/Nuggie and dog, Duke (just Duke).
