Evan Lemma
Hello and welcome! I’m Evan. As a trans therapist, I am passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community. I believe that healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy — it can happen through laughter, connection, and honest conversations.
As a trans therapist, I am passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ community.
I deeply value building strong, genuine relationships with my clients and bring a down-to-earth, positive energy to every session. And when it does get heavy, I’m here to offer safety, compassion, and support.
First session
We'll start off by discussing your mental health and goals for therapy.
Strengths
Therapy isn’t 'one size fits all.' I meet clients where they are and help them reach their goals in a way that feels natural. In a safe, judgment-free virtual space, I support healing and growth. My approach is unique to each client, often using positive psychology to maximize strengths and highlight joy, rather than focusing only on areas of challenge.
Ideal clients
I work mainly with folks in the queer community, helping them explore and embrace their identities around gender and sexuality. I also support clients who are working through trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and low self-esteem.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is all about noticing the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Together, we look at the patterns that might be keeping you stuck and find practical ways to shift them so you can feel more balanced and in control.
Gender-affirming therapy
In gender-affirming therapy, you’ll have a space where your identity is respected, celebrated, and supported. We’ll focus on what feels authentic to you and work through any challenges that come up along the way.
Strength-Based
This approach focuses on what’s already working. I believe you bring a lot of wisdom, resilience, and creativity to the table—and together, we build on those strengths to help you reach your goals.
Positive Psychology
Positive therapy is about helping you find joy, purpose, and meaning. We’ll explore what lights you up and how to cultivate more of that in your everyday life.
Trauma-Informed Care
Being trauma-informed means creating a space that feels safe and supportive for you to share and heal at your own pace. We’ll focus on understanding how past experiences show up today and work gently toward healing and empowerment.
