Hi there, my name is Kelly Evans, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe that the therapy room is a special place where real transformation can occur. I am honored to have the opportunity to listen, understand, and support my clients as they share their experiences with me. My approach to therapy is centered around hope and positivity. I encourage my clients to challenge themselves and embrace personal growth by exploring their thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental, genuine space where you can be yourself and find the healing and the change you seek. I am deeply committed to helping my clients lead happier and healthier lives. Let's connect and see how I can make a difference in your life. I would be honored to support you on your journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first therapy session, clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment focused on rapport building and creating a safe space. We will review confidentiality and go over the therapy process. The first session will focus on really getting to know the client. This might involve asking about their background, current issues they are facing, their goals for therapy, and any specific concerns they wish to address. While the session is more about understanding the client, there may be a preliminary discussion about what the client hopes to achieve through therapy and setting the stage for future goal-setting. And as always, clients will have an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback. Overall, the first session with you will be a foundational step in building a trusting and effective therapeutic relationship, aimed at understanding and efficiently helping the client.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to my work.

I also worked as a child protective investigator for the Department of Children and Families for three years. In recent years, I've had the privilege of working in private practice, where I've been able to make a positive impact in the lives of my clients. I am passionate about what I do and strive to provide the highest quality care to each and every one of my clients. Whether you're looking for support through a difficult life transition, or seeking to overcome mental health challenges, I'm here to help. Let's work together to help you grow.
