Intersex

People who are born with aspects that are not strictly male or strictly female typically face many challenges in life.  Many intersex people born with ambiguous genitalia are assigned as male or female in the first few days of life.  Dr. Devore has been a leading advocate against intersex infant surgery, and in favor of allowing intersex people the rights of self determination, bodily integrity, and informed consent.

Trauma

Trauma is violence that affects a person’s responses to everything else in life. A traumatic experience can influence the entire psychology of an individual, with lifelong negative consequences. Dr. Devore treats trauma in patients who have been victims of physical and sexual child abuse, ritualized cult or religious group abuse, spousal abuse, and abuse in a kidnap or hostage situation.

Infidelity

Infidelity comes in many forms beyond the traditional extramarital affair. Discovering that a partner has a sexual compulsion or addiction, or an inappropriately close emotional relationship, for example, can be just as devastating as learning that a partner has been sexually unfaithful. Dr. Devore works with patients and couples in the aftermath of an affair to help them determine whether they’ll have a future together and how to go forward in the relationship.

Divorce

Divorcing can be one of life’s most contentious and even hateful experiences. Understanding why a relationship cannot go forward, and consciously choosing to handle it well is a critical step for anyone going through a divorce. Dr. Devore works with individuals struggling during or after a divorce to help them divorce consciously and divorce well.

Fetish, Kink & Alternative Lifestyles

There are a wide variety of alternative sexual lifestyles that can present a spectrum of issues requiring therapy. Such lifestyles can include sexual rituals, use of objects or animals for sex, practice of blood sports, consumption of fecal matter, and many other persuasions. Dr. Devore helps individuals to embrace, cope with, or overcome these types of less common sexual desires.

Gender Fluidity

People who don’t emotionally or psychologically identify with the gender they were assigned at birth based on their physical characteristics are known as transsexuals, or can be said to be experiencing gender fluidity. Dr. Devore is an expert on gender fluidity issues and has helped a variety of transsexual patients to transition to the gender identity that fits for them best, whether it be male, female or somewhere in between.

General Problems

Dr. Devore helps patients address a wide variety of problems in daily living. These sometimes include depression, chronic illness, various mid-life transitions, grief over the death of a partner, approaching dating after such a loss, dealing with diseases such as cancer, AIDS/HIV, living with an organ transplant, and many others.
