Hello! my name is Evelyn, and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Florida. I am also a trauma-informed therapist with more than 8 years of experience. I work with clients who have experienced relational trauma, infidelity, anxiety, and depression. I know first hand how difficult life can be when we experience mental health challenges. My own challenges have allowed me to connect with my clients in a deeper level. I am glad you are reading my profile because I know with my professional and personal experience, I can help you achieve a better and happier life!
In the first session, I make sure you feel comfortable talking with me, and that we are able to build rapport. Then, I provide an in-depth assessment for you to complete. This assessment will help me to best understand your needs and therefore, to develop a treatment plan that best fits your needs.
My strengths as a trauma-informed therapist are my assessment skills, my ability to facilitate an atmosphere without judgement, and to provide unconditional support for you. I utilize various evidenced-based approaches such as CBT and EMDR based on your needs. I have extensive experience training caregivers in the US, South America and Central America .
I’ve been using CBT and EMDR In my practice for the past five years. It’s helped my clients challenge negative thoughts and manage their anxiety. We will utilize CBT to help you recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors play a role in your well-being . We will work on changing your unhealthy thinking patterns to help you achieve a less anxious and stressed life.
