DeVon Moore

Hey! I'm DeVon Moore, LCSW-S, with over a decade mental health experience— everything from crisis work and inpatient care to grief, family systems, and integrated behavioral health. I've worked extensively within the LGBTQIA+ community and with people navigating trauma, identity, and burnout. But here's what actually matters: I know what it's like to unlearn everything you were taught about who you had to be. I built Heart Strings because I wanted a practice that felt honest — no performance, no fluff, just real work with real people.

I'm direct, warm, and not interested in letting you stay comfortable in patterns that aren't serving you. My approach pulls from EMDR, somatic work, ACT, DBT, and narrative therapy — but what that actually looks like is us figuring out what you've been carrying that isn't yours, what stories you've been told about who you have to be, and how to put it all down. You're the expert on your life. I'm just the one who won't let you sell yourself short.

The first session is about you feeling me out as much as it is about me understanding your story. We'll talk about what brought you here, what you've been carrying, and what you're hoping shifts. I'll ask questions, but I'm not going to push you somewhere you're not ready to go. Think of it as a conversation, not an evaluation. By the end, you should have a sense of whether this feels like the right fit — and I'll be honest with you if I think someone else might serve you better
