Hi, my name is Eva Goode and I have been providing mental health counseling services for over 8 years. I am a Licensed clinical social worker and have provided therapeutic care for clients of a wide range of ages and cultures. I treat clients ranging from ages 16-80 who are seeking mental health support for diagnosis such as Borderline Personality Disorder, PTSD, Schizoaffective Disorder, Addiction, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Eating Disorders, and many others. I use an empathetic and validating approach with a specialization in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Rational Emotive Therapy. When initiating therapy with a new individual, I make sure to provide a non-judgmental and empathetic approach to understanding and listening to my clients goals and needs in therapy. I exhibit patience and validation as I build a trusting relationship with clients before providing interventions and suggestions. I will also provide referrals for any other services that may be needed. I assess and provide support for the development of coping skills that address stressors and symptoms. I focus on the development of mindful awareness, the ability to tolerate distress, improved ability to regulate emotions, and skills to improve relationships. I address ways to decrease emotional vulnerabilities and assist the client in developing self-efficacy in their ability to improve their quality of life. I then work to assist the client in the development of a balanced lifestyle, one which provides a sense of purpose and joy. Once I believe my client is able to maintain these goals long-term, I decrease the frequency of therapeutic sessions to a maintenance level of support. My clients are aware that I will always be available for support and they can reach out to me at any time if they feel the need.

Eva is a phenomenal therapist. She is excellent at active listening and knows right where to direct the conversation to give you the most clarity. I look forward to our weekly call, but I don’t expect a lot of text back and forth since she does have a busy schedule. I do wish there was more of that though for guidance between calls or just to check in. Besides that small tidbit, love working with her!!!

Eva is great. Only have had two sessions with her but both times I ended feeling relax. For the first time with a counselor I feel respected I don't feel judged and I trust Eva and the help she is giving me to understand the reason and ways I think and operate. I look forward to more sessions and honestly do believe she will help me because we are already talking about things that no other counselor has ever helped me understand.
Thank you!

Eva has been amazingly helpful in a postpartum period filled with work stress. She’s pointed out tools for coping and has helped me to reframe thoughts. She’s always easy to talk to and conversations feel natural. Always insightful and understanding, she’s been the best counselor for me!

Eva is amazing. She is my first real therapist and I wouldn't be able to get through the things I've gotten through without her. I've learned so much about myself, my habits, and how to deal with my issues. She puts the logic in my head when I am all emotion. She has all the patience in the world and I have never felt judged by her or feel afraid to tell her anything. I feel like I am talking to a friend instead of a therapist. She is amazing and I am so glad I found her.

I'm a 50 year old single father raising two sons on my own. I'm not sure when the pressures, stress and past traumas caught up to me, but they did, and it was very heavy. I didn't know what I was mad at, but found myself mad and frustrated all of the time, and often with the people who love me most. I felt lost.
My time with Eva has been, and continues to be a blessing in more ways than I could have ever thought possible.
First, she's a wonderful listener. And not just a 'nod in all the right pauses' listener...she's paying close attention to the details. I never feel like I'm being pushed through a check list of obvious feedback. Her comments, suggestions and strategies are custom tailored to my situation(s) and I have REAL coping strategies that have improved my like ten fold. I feel like a new person...a better person...the type of person I knew was "in there".
I trust her. What is a greater compliment you could give a therapist? I needed to tell someone my deepest secrets and fears...and I she has given me a safe, reliable person to work those challenges out with. She makes me feel like I'm her highest priority and I couldn't be more thankful for her time and expertise.
She found clarity where I thought there was none. She's given me my life back. If you're looking for someone to talk to...look no further. #authentic

I cannot speak for others but when I have sought out professional help in the past I always feel rushed and put through the motions just to get to some kind of mental exercise that they told a hundred people before me. Never have I met a counselor such as Eva that took the time to not only understand what I am experiencing but to get to a solution that was right for me and not just everyone else statistically. I feel like I am being treated like an individual with my own individual problems. Her approach is completely unique and I feel like her only client at times. Never do I feel rushed or unheard in my emotions or feelings. Eva actually takes the time to read not only what you send her but also listens to everything that you are speaking no matter how jumbled and puts it all into place piece by piece. I highly recommend Eva to anyone going through anything no matter how a minor or significant, and if this is the kind of counselors that BetterHelp provides then I would recommend the service as well to anyone, as it is better then any face-to-face therapy I have received in the past.
