New to Grow
I am Evelyn Mejias, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to providing compassionate telehealth therapy in both English and Spanish. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in assisting adults as they navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and various life transitions. My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), alongside a commitment to empathy and cultural sensitivity. This methodology fosters a secure environment in which clients can reconnect with their strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and advance with confidence and purpose.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our initial session is designed to establish trust and create a secure, respectful environment. I will seek to understand your motivations for engaging in therapy, proceed at your preferred pace, and address any inquiries you may have. My objective is for you to depart feeling acknowledged, comprehended, and more optimistic regarding the journey that lies ahead.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I integrate clinical expertise with a profound sense of empathy and cultural sensitivity. Employing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help adults develop insights, acquire effective tools, and achieve sustainable change. My approach strategically balances structure with warmth, fostering a secure environment in which clients feel acknowledged, empowered, and supported in their pursuit of purposeful advancement.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with adults who feel emotionally stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward—but who are ready to explore healing in a safe, supportive space. Whether you’re a caregiver drained by responsibilities, struggling with anxiety or self‑doubt, or a healing soul ready to process trauma and thrive, I’ll walk alongside you with compassion and practical tools for growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In our work together, we will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT. This practical, hands-on method helps people understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behavior are connected.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
One of the approaches I also offer is called Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT. It is especially helpful if you have ever felt like emotions take over or if you had a hard time staying control when things get overwhelming. DBT give you a set of practical skills to manage stress, handle emotions, and improve your relations-without ignoring or denying your experiences. It is based on two big ideas accepting yourself and you are, while also working toward the changes you want in your life.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
In culture-sensitive therapy, I actively consider how a client's cultural background, values, and lived experiences shape their understanding of mental health, relationships, and healing. I create a respectful and inclusive space where clients feel seen and heard for who they are, not just their symptoms. In my practice, I use this approach by asking open, nonjudgmental questions, being mindful of cultural strengths, and stressors, and adapting therapeutic tools to be relevant and meaningful to each Indvidual's unique identify.
