Empowering Others to Live Happier Lives. I am Jennifer Evans, LPC, LMHC. I am a board-certified therapist in multiple states and over 15 years of counseling experience. I am passionate about effecting change and helping work with people to achieve insight in order to gain maximum potential and reach their most desired visions and goals. I know personally and professionally how difficult it is to get here and I am proud of your first step and commitment to change. I know I can be valued support as we work together to reach success, insight, and overcome emotional and psychosocial stressors.
A little more about me, I was born and raised in Florida, did my undergraduate at Florida State University, and moved to Virginia to Eastern Virginia Medical School, where I studied clinical counseling and received my Master’s in Art Therapy. As a military spouse, we relocated many times, having to redevelop my career each duty station, which gave me a myriad of experiences with various populations. My passion for treatment is trauma and life experiences that lead us to feel fearful, unsafe, and saddened; sometimes with no explanation as to why we feel the way we do. I work with my client’s in a person-centered format with cognitive-behavioral underpinnings and psychoeducation to not only work through and build a better understanding of ourselves but the experiences and beliefs that built us and ways to endure and build resiliency to better manager those feelings so they are not as overwhelming in the future.

I have been with Jennifer for a year and a half and she has helped me tremendously. I am in a significantly better place with myself both personally and professionally and that is in large part due to the support I have received from Jennifer on a weekly basis. Therapy is not a one and done solution. It is a lifelong journey. I am lucky to have found someone who listens and helps me stay grounded during difficult times.

Thank you for all the help that you're given me. I'm in a better spot now. If it wasn't for your support when I got with better help back when I did, i'm almost scared to even think about how things might have gone. It was a really trying time and you helped me through it. Thank you as well for being the first ever person I could share about my family and (bits of) history with. That was also a big "healing" factor for me.
I might definitely have to come back at some point, but I'm "done" for now. Such is life! Hope you're doing well! Take care and best wishes!

In just 2 call Jennifer has helped me look at things with a fresh take. This has lifted a weight off of me that has improved the way I feel day to day. I look forward to continuing to work on myself with her.
