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.

As humans we are all susceptible to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and degraded self care. We can all fall victims to relationship problems, grief and confusion navigating through life with its ever changing twists and turns. I have a desire to give clients a nonjudgmental, safe and welcoming environment in order to work on overcoming these life obstacles when they interfere with ones happiness and clarity. Looking for help when you feel you are at the end of your rope takes courage but displays a sign of resiliency within yourself. If you feel that you can no longer handle your circumstances alone, I encourage you to contact me. I can be there to work through your circumstances with you and work on improving your quality of life together. I have a passion for helping people overcome difficult times in their life. My focus in practice is to ignite hope and collaborate with my clients by utilizing an integrative and evidence-based approach to psychotherapy. I work with individuals of all ages and look forward to witnessing the growth and continued resiliency within you.

I will bring my authentic self and experiences working in community mental health to the table; my goal is to add valuable tools to your toolbox, motivate you, and ensure you feel heard and seen throughout the entire experience.

Together, we’ll create a safe space where you feel validated, seen, supported, and empowered to grow.
