A trusting and confidential relationship is the foundation for therapy, reducing emotional pain, increasing motivation for change and developing strengths. Through talk therapy we identify values, become aligned with those values as a guide towards health and move from isolation to connection. My style of counseling is centered in being, becoming, belonging and creating a safe space to discover using evidence-based practices. Our mission is wellbeing with a particular emphasis on the unique experience of Black American Men and becoming better for ourselves and our families.

Hi! My name is Evan, and I am a student therapist/intern. I was born and raised in the suburbs outside of Washington D.C. and I recently moved to Kalamazoo to earn my counseling degree from Western Michigan. Therapy is my passion because I believe that expressing your feelings and thoughts allows you to know and love yourself. I believe that it is a miracle that I can help someone feel happier through dialogue and I would be grateful for the opportunity to talk with you. I am fascinated by attachment theory, which is about building strong relationships with others in order to feel safe and confident in the world.

Immediate openings! Counseling involves the sharing of personal problems, concerns, and stories with someone that is skilled at helping the client come to a resolution or solution about the situation. The general goals for the client are that he or she can identify the issues/s, develop a plan of action and then implement that plan. This is a very personal process and is educational and developmental by nature.

Who are we kidding? Life is crazy and we all need someone in our corner! You are a unique person, and your challenges are too. I'm here to help you make sense of the craziness. I grew up frequently moving between my parents and family, and untimely ended up in the foster care system. With substance abuse in my family system, being a child and adult child of a dysfunctional family is something with which I am very familiar. I decided to pursue my education and help others instead of perpetuating the toxic family system.
