Devin B. Fields
Psychologist
PsyD
When meeting children and families, I love to begin by learning about their goals, values, and what feels most important for them to address during our visits. I believe each person is the true expert of their own body and experience. My role is to support those goals with education, guidance, and practical skills. To me, that’s what success looks like. It is always an added bonus when we can bring joy and silliness to the space as well.
About me
Dr. Fields has always had a heart for working with kids. After earning her degree in psychology, she spent three years in Seattle as an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapist, supporting children diagnosed with autism. She then went on to earn her PsyD at Pacific University, specializing in children and gender-diverse youth. Her training has taken her across the country, including an internship focused on child development at the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine in West Virginia, to a postdoctoral fellowship at Children’s Hospital Colorado, where she specialized in infant mental health and early child development.
Dr. Fields brings expertise in early development, neurodevelopmental disorders, gender-diverse youth, and mental health and behavioral concerns many children face. She is passionate about meeting each child where they are and helping families navigate challenges.
Dr. Fields cares for patients in our Portland office.

She, her husband, and toddler son love to travel. When they are at home, they enjoy spending time together making homemade pizzas.
Becoming a parent has been the best training experience for working with kids. She understands firsthand that you can learn all the things, try all the strategies, and still everyone is human and doing their best with what they have. And that’s ok!
