Ms Shayla DeVisser

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“My approach is dedicated to providing effective treatment, with a particular emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for individual therapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy for Couples Therapy. I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation prior to any therapy intake.”

About Me

This therapist helps individuals navigate challenges using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a structured approach to understanding thoughts and feelings. For couples, Emotion-Focused Therapy supports deeper connection and communication. This dedication to effective treatment means clients gain practical tools for lasting change. A complimentary 15-minute consultation allows you to explore if this focused, evidence-based approach feels right for your needs.

Approach

That commitment to practical tools guides how I structure sessions: focused, paced, and collaborative so we address what feels most urgent. In my Boise office and through secure telehealth in English, sessions mix brief skill-building (tracking thoughts, grounding, exposure planning) with deeper emotion work to unpack attachment and relational patterns between sessions you’ll try small experiments and skills in daily life. This style tends to suit adults and couples seeking clear steps alongside honest emotional connection.
