About me

Hello, my name is Evalee and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia and South Carolina with over 20 years of experience working in mental health and social services as a counselor. I graduated from Savannah State University with a Master's degree in Social Work with a clinical concentration. I have worked in a variety of settings with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, Bipolar disorder, relationship issues, parenting problems, life changes, OCD, ADHD, ODD, anger management skills, LGBTQ related issues, intellectual disabilities, women's issues, and caregiver stress. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma and abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach to therapy combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, mindfulness, solution focused, psycho-education, and psychodynamic counseling. I approach therapy from a person centered and strengths based perspective. Your treatment plan will be individualized to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek improved mental health. It is brave to take this step, and I am here to support you in a safe and understanding environment to empower you.

I am able to work with children, youth, teens, adults, older adults and couples.

I look forward to working with you!

Evalee has been incredibly at helping me work through life’s ups and downs and all the challenges that come. She has truly helped guide me and I don’t know what I would do with out her help. I highly recommend her for a therapist.

Evalee is so easy to talk to and makes it such an easy process. I prefer to phone call, and she makes it so seamless. Our time goes by quickly with how much we talk. Great conversation and great therapist.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Evalee. She is extremely kind, compassionate, and thoughtful, and her expertise in her field is genuinely impressive. Every session with her feels like stepping into a safe, judgment-free zone where I am truly heard and understood.

Evalee has a way of making me feel completely supported while also challenging me to grow. It’s clear she genuinely wants the best for me—she’s not just telling me what I want to hear, but what I need to hear, all with immense care and respect.

I feel beyond lucky to have her as my therapist, and I would hands down recommend her to anyone seeking help in the mental health space. She is truly a rare gem, and I’m so grateful for all the ways she’s helped me along my journey.

So excited to start my journey in therapy with Evalee. She is very kind and helpful at helping me understand myself. She listens and helps guide the conversation. She asks questions and provides ideas. We started recently and it has changed my perspective on therapy. I'm very hopeful and I genuinely want to make this a permanent part of my life.
