People seek therapy for a variety of reasons: anxiety, depression, relationship complications, sexuality issues, to name just a specific few; or it may be a combination of issues, or even for reasons one cannot immediately put a finger on -- a general sense of "just not feeling right."

So now comes the (sometimes) daunting task of finding someone who might offer help.

Sometimes we may find ourselves feeling stuck in our lives or alone in our struggles. Perhaps we feel isolated when we share these difficulties with others, only to feel invalidated in our experiences or identity. It's even more challenging and isolating when we don't have those connections to reach out to. Carrying feelings such as shame in who we are, or discomfort being in our own skin, is a weight on us impacting everyday lives and our relationships. Through reflection and self-compassion we will embrace self-acceptance in knowing you're valid in who you are, and you can live your best and most authentic self.

Hi, my name is Evangelos, but you can call me Evan! At the moment I am practicing through Telehealth only. If this is okay with you, please read on! The foundation of my approach to therapy is person centered and based on genuine human interaction. I understand that not every individual benefits from the same intervention, and it's for this reason I bring an eclectic tool kit, including but not limited to: Acceptance-Based, Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, Emotionally Focused, and Relaxation strategies. My earliest exposure and training in mental health was in Hypnosis, and the interaction between our conscious and subconscious mind.

I believe that the relationship you have with your therapist means everything. You could have the most skilled therapist on the planet, and if you feel uncomfortable with them or don’t like their approach, you will not make the progress you deserve. For this reason, it is important for you to understand who I am and how I work. I am a good fit for people who need a therapist who is genuine, open, and an active participant in the conversation. I am as real as it gets and I don’t want anything other than a real relationship with you.

If you're in the process of looking for a therapist you likely have been dealing with obstacles in your life that have felt insurmountable. Anxiety , depression, relationship troubles and questions of identity are all excessive burdens to an often already complicated, stressful life. Maybe you’ve tried to muscle through these issues, but ignoring them has not made them go away. Counseling can be a space where you can build skills that help manage these issues, where you can have a space that you don’t need to filter yourself, or maybe just to have a space where you feel supported.
