You appear to have all your shit together on the outside, but you are a mess on the inside. You don't tell anyone how you really feel for fear of being judged. You are exhausted wearing the mask of the perfect imposter. You ask yourself, "Why is my best never good enough?" You want to believe God has a plan for you, but you're not even sure you believe in God anymore. I assure you, it is not just you. This real-time struggle is real. I know personally, there is hope. We all need the love of community to that hope. I look forward to hearing from you about ways I can help.

"I am a firm believer in finding balance between feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and actions. Sometimes what we are dealing with is simply present day stress, needing a safe environment to process and get feedback. Other times events from our past dictate our reactions to today's experiences. This leads to giving our power away and continuing to suffer. I practice cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as other approaches when indicated, always focusing on the client's goals. I am focused on respectful approaches to teaching tools that allow each client's efforts to result in positive impacts throughout their lives."

What do you want? While that may seem selfish, it is not self-centered. You wouldn't be looking at this website if you didn't want something different than what you have now. It starts with eliminating the obstacles to getting your needs met, then learning strategies that are more effective. As a Christian psychologist, I use biblical principles and truths that help individuals and couples get what they want. I make use of Cognitive-behavior therapy, as well as other evidence-based interventions. I have trained extensively in the methods of John Gottman. I am also a certified Spiritual Director. Let me help you get what you want.

Sometimes life brings about intense challenges, pain and loss that can affect our ability to function and even maintain healthy relationships. We can feel stuck in the struggle and the difficult emotions that often come with it. Therapy provides a safe space to explore these challenges, gain control over our emotions and learn how to move forward, towards overall balance and wellbeing.

I consider myself an optimist and seek to find the best in the people I meet. I have an out-going nature. I love people and I love life and seek to help others find the same joy, even in bleak circumstances. I would like to note that I can be comfortable in most environments, working with most age groups and mental health conditions. I am a supporter and friend of the LGBTQ+ community, and I am a strong believer in the ideal that everyone should be treated equally with respect and dignity, especially when it comes to getting good mental health support and therapy when needed.

Everyone’s journey is different, shaped by personal experiences and emotions. I aim to create a safe and understanding space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. Together, we’ll identify what you need and what you're good at, then build a plan to help you overcome obstacles and live a more fulfilling life. Although, my experience spans through all ages, I have found my passion and purpose in focusing on adolescents and women.

I want to start by saying I’m proud of you. It takes a lot of bravery to seek help. It may not feel that way, and your brain may be saying “yeah, but.....”. However, you cannot have bravery without being afraid. I enjoy working with clients from ages 8 and up. I am affirming of LGBTQIA+ identities. I am experienced in working with: anxiety, depression, self-esteem, gender identity, grief, adjustment disorders, trauma, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, domestic abuse, and communication concerns. As a therapist, I can help you find routes to success, to growth, to healing. It’s okay to feel lost. You aren’t alone.

Hello! I currently do telehealth therapy for DC, IL and SC. As an EMDR Certified Therapist and EMDR Approved Consultant, I understand our struggles are not about "what's wrong with us" but "what happened to us." Looking to resolve current symptoms sometimes means healing from the past, while strengthening resources in the present and preparing for the future. I work with children, adolescents, and adults - individually and in caregiver-child dynamics - and invite you to reach out for a free consultation!

Before I was a therapist, I was an educator. For one course, my job was to teach first responders how to get important information from potentially traumatized witnesses/victims. I often wondered what I would do if I were permitted to see the crisis through. I believe it's my combination of a solid background in communication-which includes relationships, gender-speak, assertiveness and self-talk-and my education in Clinical Psychology and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor certification that provide for a well-balanced approach to individual counseling.

Dr. Venus Evans-Winters is a licensed clinical social worker, trauma expert, and professor.

A native of Chicago and representative of the hip-hop generation, she helps clients from diverse backgrounds cope with chronic stress and trauma. Her practice is influenced by Adlerian theory and centers on culturally responsive approaches to practice because we know that culture is a significant influence on one's perception of stress and self-efficacy.
