Shayla Devisser

I specialize in evidence-based CBT and work with you to identify clear goals, understand what is keeping you stuck, and build practical tools for meaningful change. My goal is to provide therapy that goes beyond talk therapy by helping you build practical skills and create meaningful change in your everyday life.

Together, we will use an active, goal-oriented CBT approach to understand the patterns keeping you stuck and build practical tools for change. Therapy often includes personalized homework and practice between sessions, so you can apply what you are learning in everyday life—not just talk about it in session.

My clients describe me as warm, supportive, and easy to talk to, while also being active and direct in helping them work toward change. They appreciate having a clear plan, practical tools, and a therapist who is genuinely invested in their progress.

I specialize in working with people who feel stuck in anxiety, OCD, depression, relationship concerns, or a difficult life transition. Many are looking for more than a place to talk—they want practical tools, clearer direction, and meaningful change. Using CBT, we work together to build skills that carry into everyday life.

I became a therapist because I believe people are capable of meaningful change when they feel understood, supported, and equipped with the right tools. I value helping people move beyond feeling stuck, build confidence in themselves, strengthen their relationships, and create a life that feels more aligned with what matters most to them.

I founded Thrive with CBT to offer adults and couples a focused, high-quality CBT practice in Boise. We provide in-person therapy in Boise and secure telehealth throughout Idaho. We also offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to answer questions, explain our approach, and help you decide whether we may be a good fit.
