About me

Hello, my name is Evalee and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia and South Carolina with over 20 years of experience working in mental health and social services as a counselor. I graduated from Savannah State University with a Master's degree in Social Work with a clinical concentration. I have worked in a variety of settings with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, Bipolar disorder, relationship issues, parenting problems, life changes, OCD, ADHD, ODD, anger management skills, LGBTQ related issues, intellectual disabilities, women's issues, and caregiver stress. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma and abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach to therapy combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, mindfulness, solution focused, psycho-education, and psychodynamic counseling. I approach therapy from a person centered and strengths based perspective. Your treatment plan will be individualized to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek improved mental health. It is brave to take this step, and I am here to support you in a safe and understanding environment to empower you.

I am able to work with children, youth, teens, adults, older adults and couples.

I look forward to working with you!

Despite only having two sessions, I feel Evalee listens and understands what I am experiencing. She has provided great realization tools and direction thus far.

Written on Feb 07, 2026 after therapy with Evalee for 4 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, anger management, and bipolar disorder

Evalee is a very good listener, she remembers the little things I’ve told her and always follows up the next week with how things are going for me. I truly appreciate Evalee for always having an unbiased perspective and still managing to make me feel a little lighter after each therapy session. Thank you Evalee for all you do!
