Devyna Aguon

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based out of Washington State. I have experience in providing mental health and behavioral health counseling to youth and young adults with struggles related to stress and anxiety, depression, relationships, grief or loss, and/or traumatic experience(s).

Much of my experience has been in the school setting, providing support to children and teens with social, emotional, and/or behavioral needs. I believe that everyone does the best they can with the skills they currently have. And sometimes life has some challenges, even unexpected ones, that can impact our mental health and well-being. These challenges don’t have to be faced alone. Through these challenges new skills can be acquired to help deal with the stressors life may bring. Together, we will identify goals you would like to achieve from counseling and work towards reaching them.

My clinical skills are influenced by a trauma informed and holistic approach. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Collaborative Problem Solving to help others achieve their goals.

As a member of the BIPOC community, ensuring a safe, supportive space and practices that are culturally competent is a priority for me.
My approach is laid back and can vary based on individual needs and preferences. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
