New to Grow
I am Evelyn Mejias, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering compassionate, bilingual (English/Spanish) telehealth therapy. With over 15 years of experience, I support adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My approach blends CBT and DBT with empathy and cultural sensitivity, creating a safe space where clients reconnect with strengths, build tools, and move forward with confidence and purpose.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is about building trust and creating a safe, respectful space. I will learn what brings you to therapy, go at your pace, and answer any questions. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and more hopeful about the path ahead.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I blend clinical expertise with deep empathy and cultural sensitivity. Using CBT and DBT, I help adults build insight, develop tools, and create lasting change. My approach balances structure with warmth, creating a safe space where clients feel seen, empowered, and supported in moving forward with purpose.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with adults who feel emotionally stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to move forward—but who are ready to explore healing in a safe, supportive space. Whether you’re a caregiver drained by responsibilities, a high‑achiever silently 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.
