Living in a world built for neurotypical brains can ​create a chaotic reality, but you don’t have to ​navigate it alone.


Welcome to Journey Well Therapy and Task ​Bandit Coaching. We have programs to support ​you in learning how to live well with the brain you ​have.

LCSW | Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Devin Dierks is the owner and therapist. A licensed, clinical social worker provides ​assessment and diagnosis, support, and strategies for prevention of mental and ​emotional distress. Rather than focusing on inner pathologies, a social worker ​emphasizes strengths in both the person and their environment.

Neurodiversity Affirming

Devin practices with the belief that ADHD is a valuable expression of human ​neurodiversity. The ADHD neurotype is a collection of traits that everyone has, but are ​experienced at a high level of intensity. Poorly named and categorized, ADHD is not a ​disorder. Due to lack of understanding, tools, strategies, and support, however, it can be ​disabling.

ADHD-CCSP | Certified Clinical Services Provider

Devin is trained to provide ADHD support utilizing current research. She engages in ​training with experts such as Hallowell and Barkley, drawing upon academic and scientific ​resources. These viewpoints are tempered with a neurodiversity=affirming perspective.

Why should I consider working with a professional who is also part of the Neurodivergent Community?

In the mental health field, there exists a power dynamic between the provider and the patient. The ​provider is seen as the “expert” while the patient is seen as the one who must make changes in order to be ​“fixed”. In some cases, this dynamic leads to vulnerable people making care decisions because of ​perceived authority, rather than their own needs. Devin believes that you are the expert in what you need ​and how you would be best supported. As a clinically trained professional and someone who also lives ​with ADHD, Devin is able to support you by drawing upon lived experience, science, training, and ​collective knowledge. Your experience is so much more than an arbitrary list of “symptoms”.

Money Matters

You will be responsible for the full cost of your session(s) at the time of service.

If you would like to utilize your Blue Cross Blue Shield health insurance policy for therapy, please be aware of your ​coverage and if you have a deductible to meet, a co-pay, etc. If you aren’t sure, call the member services line, which ​should be listed on the back of your card.

Many seeking services choose not to bill their health insurance because doing so would require them to be ​diagnosed with a mental disorder. To provide even partial coverage, insurance plans dictate how often we can ​meet, for how long, and what we are able to do in session. Additionally, if your plan is billed for appointments, the ​plan has access to details about your treatment and your diagnosis will be on your medical record. Paying privately ​provides the benefit of privacy as well as the opportunity to work with Devin without these constraints, ensuring ​that you receive the frequency and type of support that you need.

If you will be paying privately, I can accept: HSA/FSA cards, credit/debit cards, check, Venmo, Paypal, or Cash App. ​Devin does not participate in out-of-network billing.

What About Meds?

Stimulant medication can be a helpful tool for those living with ​ADHD. Thousands of studies over many years demonstrate ​that these medications are safe to use. I do not prescribe ​medication; that role belongs to doctors, physician assistants, ​and nurse practitioners who work in the mental health field. If ​you are interested in trying medication as an additional ​support, I can help you find a provider. This is a personal choice ​that should be discussed collaboratively between you and your ​care team. Medication is not necessary in order to participate ​in my programs, nor is it required for living well with ADHD. You ​will not be pressured by me to try medication, but we can ​discuss the potential benefits if you’d like to explore this option ​further.

Good Faith Estimate Disclosure

If you are uninsured and/or choosing to pay privately, you have the ​right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your ​mental health care will cost. Under the law, providers need to provide ​patients an estimate of the total expected charges for psychotherapy ​and any other services provided. You can ask your provider for a ​Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith ​Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For ​questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith ​Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
