Are you experiencing trauma symptoms and triggers throughout the day? Do you feel overwhelmed and jumpy at times? Are you experiencing emotions that you have difficulty controlling? Do you feel disorganized and stressed on most days? Are you a sensitive and empathic person who has difficulty setting boundaries in relationships and managing the stressors in the world? Or are you a therapist, nurse, doctor or other helper who is overwhelmed and stressed at work? I focused my dissertation on understanding compassion fatigue in private practice.

Sometimes we realize how much of our life we spend tending to the needs of others and how little we attend to our own needs. You may have reached a point where you have little left to give and exhaustion, grief, anxiety, or depression have taken over. Maybe you even find yourself feeling detached from those closest to you. If you find yourself in this place, it's time for a change. We cannot give water from an empty well.

Hello, my name is John Mann and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 1980. I have experience working with mental health, adjustment disorders, relationship dynamics, self esteem, anxiety, depression, life change, trauma, relationship issues, family dynamics, and substance abuse issues with young adults, adults and older adults. I do not believe that people are “broken”, needing to be fixed by a professional. I believe that there are many approaches towards achieving a goal and that working together is the key to establishing an effective and sustainable treatment approach.

At Evolve, we have an engaged style of therapy that doesn’t let you “monologue” the session. We believe in the power of venting, and while listening is at the core of any therapeutic relationship, we are also trained to challenge those thoughts and feelings that are not serving you well. Many of our clients have had previous experiences that left them with that “been there, done that” type of feeling. That is why they came to us. We support you every step of the way, but we also challenge you and lead you to live the life you deserve. Your journey starts here.
