Hi and thank you for taking the time to get to know more about me! My name is Carrie Evans and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC) for the state of Ohio. In 2011, I graduated from Wright State University with a Masters Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling with a focus on Chemical Dependency as well as supplemental education to meet the criteria for behavioral and mental health counseling. I currently reside in Cincinnati, Ohio, where I have my own private practice. I see individuals throughout the week face-to-face, as well as online. Prior to having my own practice, I had a 12 year career as a Food Scientist, working for various food companies in Ohio. I earned my undergraduate degree in Food Science, 1999 from The University of Akron. In 2012, I decided to leave the food industry altogether to pursue a full-time career in counseling. Why the big leap from Food Science to Counselor, you might ask? Well, in 2005, my life was forever changed. After a series of events, I once thought were just bad luck, but turned out to be a byproduct of my struggles with my own substance dependence, I decided to seek help. I reached out to an outpatient clinic for some guidance. This step began my lifelong journey in recovering from addiction, and many other things, as I would find out later in my journey. I like to share this about myself because I think it is important for the people I work with to know I am a human, I have had and continue to have my own ups and downs in life. I find refuge in the 12 steps, but do not think it is the only route for recovery from addiction, so I am open to whatever is going to be helpful to the individual. My life experiences, my past corporate career experiences, my education, and training, have allowed me to relate to people on so many levels. I also have a young son, and a loving partner. I have four dogs, and sometimes bring one or two to my office for support. Another question you may ask before clicking the "go" button, "Am I the right therapist for you?" Let me explain my background and training, as well as how I work with clients, and we can go from there. My experience in the field began in Substance Abuse group work. I quickly learned I needed to learn more about mental health and trauma recovery. I understand and see addiction in and of itself to be traumatic. With this training, I have had the opportunity and honor to work with many individual who have trauma, depression, anxiety, difficulty with change, as well as difficulty with grief. I expanded my scope and work with people who do not have a substance dependence disorder, as well as people with substance dependence disorders. I am trained in EMDR, sandplay, working with severe anxiety, working with depression, as well as complex trauma resolution. The next step in my counseling career was to be a school-based therapist for The Children's Home of Cincinnati. I absolutely loved the experience, as I worked in some of the area high schools as a Behavioral and Mental Health counselor. I was with them for almost four years, then decided it was time to build my own practice. I have been in private practice for 3 years, and it is what I now do full time. As far as my style, I am client-centered in my approach and I build a treatment plan with short and long-term goals so you can see your progress as we work together. Meeting you where you are at in your life, and exploring where you want to be, identifying the hurdles that are in the way of reaching these goals, then breaking through the hurdles to get you to your goal is how I would define my style. This path looks different for everyone. The best part of my job is helping people bridge the past to the present, through exploring thoughts, behaviors, actions, and relationships, just to name a few areas. I help empower people to be able to take the skills we talk about in the session out into everyday life, where they are most needed.

We will discuss what brings you here, a bit of my theory and orientation, and go with the flow of conversation. Getting to know one another takes time, so there is no rush on anything specific. You do not have to answer anything I ask as well, as it's about getting to know one another and developing a trusting and safe atmosphere. I look forward to meeting you. We will discuss your diagnosis and review your basic therapy goals. Over time your goals may change, my goal is to stay in step with what your goals are and help you break them down into smaller, achievable goals.

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker Therapist in the state of Ohio. I work with adults who are seeking help when feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just “off” in life and they know something is wrong but can’t quite figure out what it is. Often, along with the general feeling of “off” come complaints such as: depression, anxiety, anger, relationship problems, self-esteem concerns, substance abuse and questions of purpose. I aim to help you identify where, and how, the sense of “off” you feel may have started by exploring your past experiences and the impact they had on you. We look at your childhood history to find difficulties or trauma that wounded you and may still be affecting your life today. We then take action to heal the wounds with techniques and exercises to help you gain a true self-awareness and self-trust that will lead to the “realness” and authenticity in your life that is currently missing. Through compassion, empathy, and respect for your unique journey, I offer you a safe and supportive space to explore your matters. My approach is patient, observant, inquiring, logical, gentle, non-directive, collaborative and always non-judgmental. We form a partnership that has the goal of uncovering the answers you are seeking so you arrive at genuine peace of mind. It’s a path to heal your wounds, mend your spirit and nurture the strength to build your life into one that energizes you, fulfills you and authentically expresses the best of who you are. I look forward to meeting you.
