Getting to know Christopher Evans
Hi there, I'm Christopher!
Hi, I'm Topher. My name is Topher Evans, and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in San Jose, CA-the heart of Silicon Valley! I earned my Master's in Counseling from the Wright Institute. I work with clients state-wide via telehealth, specializing in adolescents and adults dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, OCD, tics, and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs). I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help my clients reduce symptoms and gain empowerment over their lives.
My approach
My therapy begins by forming a strong therapeutic partnership through building trust and rapport. I most frequently use interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
My focus
My style and approach are a good fit for teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, stress, OCD, relationship and social struggles, and LGBTQIA+ challenges.
My communication style
I communicate with warmth, compassion, collaboration, humor, and enthusiastic support. I strive to create an atmosphere of trust where clients feel safe to talk openly and honestly without fear of judgment or dismissal.
My journey to mental healthcare
After working as a student advisor and patient advocate, I decided to become a mental health therapist. I am driven by firsthand experience witnessing people's strengths and resiliency. Having overcome many obstacles myself, I am committed to helping others find hope and reclaim their power.
My goals for you
Together, we will identify your short- and long-term goals, the obstacles in your way, the skills and tools needed to overcome them, and who is part of your support team. We will track your progress and adjust as needed to ensure your success.

Topher did wonderful work with our teenage son, & our family as a whole, & we appreciate that so much. However, when he needed to take a leave, he gave us very little notice, no confirmation regarding future plans for treatment (he told us to keep checking back, & if it looked like he was taking patients again, we could try and get an appointment), nor any assistance with finding another provider in the interim. I do understand & value taking leave , but we were left feeling hung out to dry.
