Darren DeVries, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Hello! My name is Darren and I am an experienced psychotherapist providing therapy full-time for the past 14+ years. I work with adult individuals and couples that present with a host of mental health concerns from depression and anxiety, to stress and relational struggles.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Minnesota with over 14 years of experience, specializing in heterosexual relationships, trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, adult mental health, and Christian-based therapy. My background includes in-home therapy, group work, adult day treatment, supervising therapists, clinic leadership, couples counseling, and private practice.

I meet clients where they are and provide a warm, safe, and supportive environment for growth and healing. My approach is down-to-earth, grounded, and relational, combining positive rapport with evidence-based strategies tailored to each client’s goals. Clients benefit from both the therapeutic relationship itself and practical interventions designed to create lasting change.

Faith is a core part of who I am and shapes how I approach my work, but I respect and value people of all backgrounds and beliefs. I have experience in seminary training, church leadership, and teaching, and I enjoy helping couples and families strengthen their relationships, which I believe are the backbone of healthy communities. I also understand the importance of having a trusted, empathetic space to share openly, regardless of differences in belief.

Clients often share that they appreciate how I balance relational warmth with professional, evidence-based interventions. I strive to meet clients where they are, offering empathy, validation, support, and practical guidance while addressing the root of their concerns. I am trained in multiple therapeutic modalities and tailor my approach to best fit each individual or couple I work with.

In my personal life, I enjoy music, nature, family time, and maintaining a healthy balance of hobbies, which all help me bring energy and perspective to my work.
