Evelyn Madera
Mental Health Counselor Student Intern
I am a dedicated and compassionate mental health professional committed to supporting you. I aim to empower you with practical tools to navigate life's uncertainties and cultivate a sense of balance.
I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly without fear. I utilize a variety of theoretical perspectives depending on your needs and counseling expectations. We will explore new ways of identifying strengths, values, and meaningful connections that serve as anchors during times of adversity.
I specialize in treating clients with substance use, anxiety, low self-esteem, social isolation, anger management, depression, and general life dissatisfaction.
Whether you're facing challenges in your personal life, relationships, or career, I'm here to provide support and guidance.
Together, we uncover the courage to confront fears, embrace vulnerability, and find harmony to live the life you want to live.
