Laurel DeVore, LCSW, LCAS
Laurel DeVore helps individuals, couples, and families navigate the challenges that can leave life feeling overwhelming, disconnected, or stuck. She is passionate about helping clients feel safe, seen, and supported while creating meaningful change through intentional growth and self-discovery.
With experience working across community mental health, homes, schools, group homes, correctional settings, and outpatient care, Laurel brings a broad perspective to her work. She has a special passion for supporting parents, teens, q***r individuals, and those navigating substance use, justice involvement, identity exploration, or major life transitions. Her approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and draws from CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based approaches.
Laurel is LGBTQIA+ affirming, poly affirming, kink affirming, and grounded in an anti-racist, decolonizing perspective. She works with clients ages 11 and up and believes that transformation happens through collaboration, self-understanding, and small intentional steps forward.
Laurel is currently meeting with clients through telehealth and in-person at our Durham office.
