Evelyn De Jesus
So you've decided to start therapy. It's a big step, but one that can lead you on a journey of self-discovery. As a therapist, I provide compassionate mental health services to those seeking healing and moving forward in their lives. With over 25 years of experience working with youth, adults, couples, and families, I strive to support each individual as they explore how best to honor themselves. My approach to mental health and wellness goes beyond managing symptoms. While working with you, I will guide you through a path of discovery so you can examine, reflect on, and challenge yourself and the collectives in your environment to live a meaningful, purposeful life.
My passion encompasses working with PTSD, depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, working with veterans, and indigenous cultural healing.
First session
Your first session may have you feeling a bit anxious and nervous, but that's okay. You may have never been to therapy or you've been to therapy and know that it will require some work on your part, but hey. You're here. So the first session will be more about getting to know you, and why you've chosen to start therapy at this time and we may even jump in and start an activity so that you get a sense of how I work. We'll also discuss your goals and how to move forward on your therapeutic journey.
Strengths
So after being in this field for over 25+ years, you can say I learned a little about myself and what my strengths are. My passion encompasses working with PTSD, depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, working with veterans, and indigenous cultural healing.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with individuals who are looking at their life at the moment and telling themselves, "This is the time for transformation. I want to be in charge of moving through the challenges and want support, sound clinical guidance, as well as, a therapist who I can connect with. "
Treatment methods
Somatic
A lot of my work is based on the biology of meaning. We often forget that when we come across challenges in our lives, our body is the first to respond. This is why I have an affinity in taking individuals through a journey of how their body initially responds to stress through Somatic Experiencing. Somatics is a body-oriented therapeutic model that helps heal trauma and other stress disorders.
