About Devina Smith

With a diverse background, I bring a unique blend of expertise in Leadership Development and Coaching, Project Management, Consulting, and Financial Management, with a proven track record of delivering personalized, high-value solutions for individuals, teams, and organizations. My focus is always on fostering strong relationships, applying critical thinking to solve complex problems, and driving success through strategic guidance and expert advice. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can lead, mentor, and innovate, while approaching challenges with empathy, strategic thinking, and a commitment to excellence. In my current role as a Mental Health Clinician and Coach, I specialize in crisis intervention for high-level executives, including CEOs and CFOs, helping them navigate high-stress environments that demand peak performance. I also provide tailored coaching and mentorship to LLPC clinicians, ensuring their professional growth through structured evaluations and hands-on learning. Shaping the careers of future counselors and supporting their transition into the professional world is one of my greatest sources of fulfillment. At KW Domain: Luxury Homes International, I’ve contributed to initiatives focused on Diversity and Inclusion, playing a key role in sourcing associates whose values align with the company's mission. I take pride in enhancing organizational culture and fostering an environment that values inclusion and alignment with core values. Previously, as a Financial Advisor at Merrill Lynch, I developed customized investment strategies to help clients achieve their financial goals, balancing relationship management, investment growth, and compliance. I co-managed a $2.3 million portfolio, utilizing the Bloomberg Terminal to analyze market data and present stock recommendations to local investors, always focusing on continuous improvement and value delivery. Earlier in my career, I spent 8 years at the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, where I applied my clinical expertise in forensic settings to manage the incarcerated population. This role required navigating complex legal systems and integrating clinical knowledge with law enforcement practices, while managing multiple layers within the organization. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated the ability to manage and optimize resources, drive business growth, and provide strategic leadership. My unique combination of clinical, financial, and leadership expertise empowers individuals and teams to achieve their highest potential, fostering positive, lasting change.
