Nathan Evans, M.A., LPC Associate Supervised by Fred Tucker, MA, LPC-S -
Nathan is a counselor who believes in the process of psychotherapy. When clients seek therapy, they’re often looking for answers that have escaped their grasp. Many are in search of some type of change in their lives; a difficult goal to achieve.
Nathan works with adults of all ages, helping them to examine where they come from and where they're going in life. He also enjoys working with people experiencing different types of grief.
Often people come into psychotherapy feeling stuck, as if they're being propelled by forces outside of their control. Do you sense that something undefinable is holding you back from success and happiness in your school, work, or personal life? When these unresolved facets of yourself are addressed in psychotherapy, you can feel better.
Nathan's areas of focus include:
-
Depression
-
Anxiety
-
Grief and Loss
-
Adult Life Transitions
-
General Life Dissatisfaction
Nathan offers free 20-minute phone consultations to discuss how you can work together. Contact Nathan at https://psychotherapywithnathan.com. Due to COVID-19, he currently offers telehealth appointments.
