EVAN TOKARZ is fully booked.
If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship challenges, know that you're not alone. I work with people from all walks of life, including those navigating life transitions, relationships, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, LGBTQ+ issues, and more. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, and together, we’ll find what works best for you. My goal is to understand you deeply, uncover any patterns holding you back, and explore the root causes of your challenges. Using research-backed approaches like CBT and PCT, we’ll work on building self-awareness, enhancing skills and confidence, and creating lasting change that empowers you to move forward.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Your story and background are key to understanding the challenges you're facing. I take a flexible approach, combining different therapeutic methods to tailor our work to your unique needs. We’ll explore your experiences and create personalized strategies to help you reach your goals and make lasting, positive changes.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I'm a warm, down-to-earth therapist who truly cares and meets you where you are. My strengths are creating a safe, supportive space, bringing genuine care to our work, and using practical, evidence-based tools to help you grow, heal, and feel more like yourself again.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
In our work together, I prioritize really listening to you and collaborating to create personalized strategies that support your overall well-being. You’ll find a supportive, authentic space where you can openly share and explore what’s on your mind. You can swear. :) I also focus on giving you practical tools and skills that are proven to work, drawing on research, my experience with others, and my own life when it’s helpful. Together, we’ll find what works best for you.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I create a safe, nonjudgmental space grounded in empathy, positivity without judgement, and genuineness. I trust that clients have the inner resources to grow and change, and I focus on deeply understanding their experiences from their perspective
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I help clients identify and challenge (research-backed) unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and behavior patterns and how these influence emotions and actions. Then, we explore practical tools and coping strategies to create lasting change. It’s goal-oriented, and focused on real-world skills and insight.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients explore and resolve ambivalence about change. Through open-ended questions, affirmations, and reflective listening, I support their autonomy while guiding them toward their own reasons and readiness for change. It’s a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that builds motivation from within.
Gottman method
I use the Gottman Method to support clients in strengthening their connection by improving communication, managing conflict, and deepening intimacy. I draw on evidence-based tools to lessen misunderstandings, argue more productively and foster healthy, lasting partnerships.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use Mindfulness-Based Therapy to help clients develop present-moment awareness and a nonjudgmental attitude toward their thoughts and emotions. Clients learn to reduce reactivity, increase self-compassion, and respond more effectively to stress and challenges.
