Clever Craft Therapy

Devon Pelto, LCSWA, LCASA, CYT-200

Welcome
& thanks for stopping by!

I get that finding a therapist can feel overwhelming. Is it me, or can it feel like online dating sometimes?!

There is a bunch of information here about me and how I practice therapy that I hope is helpful, but the real magic happens when we connect for a conversation!
Working with someone you feel safe and comfortable with is important so you can ask me anything you’d like during that time.

Therapy can be a powerful space for hope, transformation, and yes, even a little fun.

Consultations are a FREE 15-minute video call!
No strings attached.

    It’s NOT..

    ..fortune telling or futuristic information

    ..the therapist talking at you, telling you what to do

    ..a form of divination or a religious practice

  • Mindfulness is now an evidence-based practice for general mental health (anxiety and depression), trauma-informed practices, and complex post-traumatic stress disorder.

    These practices can be as easy as noticing a breath or creating a relaxing stretch session.

    It’s important to remember..

    ..these come from Indian culture and are often associated with Buddhism & Hinduism, as they should be. Acknowledging their roots respectively is essential as to not perpetuate harmful cultural appropriation.
