Hi!

I’m Suzie DeVaughn (LMSW).

I’m the Founder and CEO of Self-Care Specialists.

As a leading psychotherapist in Wichita, Kansas, it’s my personal mission to support the caregiver. I’ve had the honor of guiding thousands of professional caregivers and business professionals in stress-management, self-care, self-love, and mindfulness through one on one therapy sessions, workshops, retreats, and various public speaking engagements.

"Working with Suzie has brought so much clarity to my life. The peace I now feel is helping clear a path for the life I’m meant to live. I’m so thankful to Suzie for her compassion, working with her has truly opened my eyes and helped in so many ways. Thank You Suzie, I’m looking forward to more sessions together.”

No matter what’s led you to me — and trust you’re not here by accident — it’s always an inside job and it starts within you!

My experience includes counseling clients at a holistic health center, a women’s shelter, and a community mental health organization. Additionally, I served as an adjunct instructor at Wichita State University School of Social Work. I provide one on one client therapy in a private practice setting and via teleconferencing for clients in the state of Kansas. My business experience includes working as a human resources professional for a Fortune 500 corporation and a Global Fortune 500 employment agency.

I have a Master’s degree in Social Work from Wichita State University and a Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Communications from the University of Kansas. I’m certified as a Compassion Fatigue Educator and Compassion Fatigue Therapist through the Green Cross Academy of Traumatology. I use a wide variety of therapy modalities including Hakomi Body-Centered Psychotherapy, Psych K, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and Neuro Emotional Technique (NET).

I’ve completely healed from some serious life challenges and can help you heal as well —

In addition to my professional training and experience, I’m proficient in holistic self-care techniques and intentional living as a result of my personal life journey.

When I was 26 I was unknowingly exposed to arsenic and suffered from a variety of health problems caused by the toxicity. With the assistance of talented holistic healers, lifestyle changes and a strong commitment to my own self-care, I made a full recovery and happy to report I’m in excellent health.

I have a passion and calling to serve those who desire to improve upon their current self-care in order to increase the quality of life for themselves and the people they impact. In addition to owning Self Care Specialists, I also own the Blossoming Heart Center through which I facilitate energy healing, meditations, psychospiritual workshops and retreats.
