Getting to know Evan Alves

Hi there, I'm Evan! My name is Evan Alves, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt. No two people are alike, so I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment. I am trained in various modalities and want to tailor treatment to your specific needs. I have experience treating trauma, anxiety, and depression, among other mental health concerns. Let’s work together toward feeling better. My approach My approach is eclectic and depends on the client’s needs. I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and motivational interviewing. I use a collaborative approach with clients. My focus I have an extensive history working with clients of diverse backgrounds and ages. I am comfortable working with children, teens, and adults. I have experience with trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, conduct disorders, and personality disorders. My communication style I maintain a calm and chill tone and try to make sessions enjoyable. I want people to look forward to appointments. My journey to mental healthcare I love being a therapist because I enjoy hearing others’ stories and helping them feel better. I never thought I’d be a therapist, but I’ve always loved helping others. After years in child welfare, I was ready for a career change. My favorite part was mentoring foster youth and helping them through trauma, so I switched to mental health. I’ve never looked back. My goals for you I work collaboratively with clients on goals and expectations of treatment. My first session with you The first session is an icebreaker where we get to know each other, ensure I’m a good fit, and outline goals and expectations.
