Getting to know Evelyn DeJesus
Hi! I'm Evelyn. You can call me Yeye. The "e" has a short vowel sound. Once we meet, you can hear how it sounds.
So you've decided to start therapy. It's a big step to take, but one that can take you through a journey of self-discovery. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Chicago, and with over 25 years of experience working with youth, adults, couples, and families, my work as a therapist is to provide compassionate mental health services to those seeking healing and growth. I strive to support each individual I work with as they explore and learn how best to honor themselves.
My approach to mental health and wellness goes beyond managing symptoms. While working with you, I will guide you through a path of discovery so you can examine, reflect, and challenge yourself and the collectives that are part of your environment, helping you live a meaningful and purposeful life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
"As we work together expect to be nurtured, challenged, honored and respected. Think Rapport and Relationship! Our journey is about YOU finding new ways to create a life that will bring you a new sense of meaning and purpose. I want to share one of my favorite quotes that my mentor shared with me when I began my journey as a therapist...
""Live your questions now and perhaps without knowing, you will live along some distant day into your answers.""
~ Rainier Maria Rilke"

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
