Evelyn Monks, PsyD

Pre-Licensed Professional
Upstream Mental Health
Accepting clients Last Updated 0 days ago

My work focuses on supporting college students, graduate students, adults, and professionals dealing with complex trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity development, ADHD, and self-esteem. I have particular expertise in supporting neurodivergent clients, the LGBTQIA+ population, and couples.

I take a warm, collaborative approach to identify and resolve patterns that keep you feeling stuck. The foundation of my work is an identity-affirming approach that positions you as the expert of your own experience.

Integrating evidence-based treatments like CBT, DBT, and ACT with a humanistic foundation, my approach focuses on creating a supportive space where clients can explore life’s complexities, deepen insight, and work through personal challenges. I aim to be compassionate and practical, helping clients feel understood while also making meaningful progress.

It's never too late or too early to get to the life you want. I look forward to getting to know you! Please note calls & emails will be answered by our practice administrator.
