Devon Jero

MA, LPC, NCC
She/Her

Devon became a therapist because she feels she was always wired to listen and encourage others. She identifies that all people need a safe space to tell their stories and that life is a journey and while people’s paths are unique, everyone can get disoriented or lost along the way and people sometimes need help finding their way back to their “trail”. Devon believes therapy should be empowering. As a therapist, she seeks to empower her clients to release the burdens they carry to get them back on their way and/or to find a new path altogether. 

Before becoming a therapist at Drishti, Devon was most recently busy keeping the wheels on the bus moving (aka family of 5 plus a dog). Along the way, she has practiced in the hospital setting, the field of adoption, and other community mental health settings.

Devon has lived in Bend since 2012 because she made it happen! She fell in love with Bend back when she lived in California and would drive through Bend on their way to Seattle. So, she decided to relocate! 

Devon enjoys spending time on the dirt trails, running or biking with her dog and favorite peeps. She is honored to walk alongside her clients and offer her authentic self to guide, support and encourage.
