Getting to know Michael Evans
Hi! I'm Michael Evans, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from San Diego State University. I have worked in homeless services, psychiatric inpatient and outpatient settings, and medical settings. I hope to come alongside you in your journey toward healing, growth, and change.
My approach
I use a client-centered approach and believe that you already have everything you need to make the changes you want. Behind this approach, I have an eclectic theoretical orientation, drawing from CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative, and IFS as indicated and necessary.
My focus
I have experience treating depression, anxiety, grief, and severe mental illness. I’m a firm believer that each person is unique and deserves a unique approach to their symptoms. I am here to help create that unique approach alongside you.
My communication style
I always aim to create a safe environment characterized by warmth, space, and care while maintaining goal orientation. I will be direct as necessary but also believe in holding space and allowing my client to lead.
My journey to therapy
From a young age, I was intrigued by therapy. Reading various books throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies only grew what was becoming a passion. Each client I have worked with has taught me something and furthered my desire to share the therapy room with more people. This work is both personal and professional for me, and I don’t take the therapeutic relationship lightly.
My first session with you
Our first session together is primarily about information gathering. I’ll be asking you questions to get to know you, your history, and what brings you to therapy. I also hope you ask me questions to see if I am the right fit as your therapist.
