About Me

I work primarily with pre-adolescents, adolescents, transitional age youth, and adults, as well as with parents, families and couples.  ​
DEVORA WEINAPPLE, MFT, ATR-BC, MA
I have been a practicing Marriage & Family Therapist since 2008 on the Peninsula, in the San Francisco Bay Area.  I received a Master's Degree from Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, CA in 2010.  The degree is combined with a Master's in Art Therapy Psychology.   In 2015, I received my board certification in art therapy from the Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATCB).  I am currently president of the Northern California Art Therapy Association (NorCATA) based in San Francisco.

In my private practice, I provide psychotherapy for children, teens and families using a combination of Neurodevelopmental Art Therapy (NDAT
) techniques for dealing with developmental and relational trauma, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which involves learning how to be psychologically flexible, and changing one's relationship.to the anxiety, depression, and trauma that are an inevitable part of life. 

Periodically I provide art therapy trainings to staff and interns at Sunnyvale Behavioral Health, a satellite clinic of the Santa Clara Valley Health & Hospital System.  I was a clinician at SBH from 2014 - 2016.  


A past president of the Northern California Art Therapy Association (NorCATA),  I am currently Treasurer, as well as Technology and Communications Director.  NorCATA's focus is to promote the therapeutic use and public awareness of art therapy in the community, to further professional development, and to foster personal and professional connections through networking and development of support groups for art therapists through regional events, workshops and conferences.  

I am honored to provide free parenting and art therapy workshops at Sunday Friends in San Jose, a not-for-profit organization that empowers families to break the generational cycle of poverty by fostering positive development in children while educating and guiding parents to support their children's life success.
