Hi! My name is Renee Evans and I am a licensed professional counselor. I provide counseling for children, teens, in-betweens and adults here at State of Mind Counseling Services, LLC. For the longest time I have had a penchant for anything relating to psychology and mental health. Having the opportunity to utilize my knowledge and eagerness for helping others has been an absolute dream. I live to help others truly understand their odds and ends, and use that information to gain a higher sense of self. Of course, having a few laughs along the way.I have worked with populations struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, trauma, communication barriers, conduct disorders, anger management, as well as many more. I utilize combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance commitment therapy to meet people where they are and work together to devise a plan to develop and obtain their goals. I am also certified in TF-CBT (trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy). Using my knowledge and skills, I create a warm and calming therapeutic space where thoughts and ideas flow with no judgment. My counseling style can be described as empathetic, authentic, and pretty funny. Therapy does not have to be frumpy and boring, and I like to think I can bring the opposite to the table. Humor can be used to create a relaxing and calming atmosphere, which makes it u easier to truly discuss some difficult topics. We are all just humans, with our troubles and strife, and learning to be a bit kinder to ourselves helps us with that arduous journey.
