Devon Gerard
MS, LPC — Mental Performance Consultant
Devon Gerard is a licensed counselor and mental performance consultant. She holds a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and an undergraduate degree in Psychology from THE University of Arizona.
She has been professionally in the field of clinical counseling and mental performance for the last 6 years — though she has been a student of those respective fields for the last 13 years, studying, learning, and implementing specific strategies for personal and professional growth.
Before founding East Valley Mental Performance, Devon was a Division One athlete at THE University of Arizona and a member of the Canadian Women's National Team for soccer. She understands firsthand the difficulty of managing personal, educational, and performance environments simultaneously.
She has worked alongside first responders — police and fire — as a co-responder serving the community, and in an inpatient psychiatric setting with a diverse population of individuals, including the seriously mentally ill.
