Gwendolyn Evans, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
My life mission is to create Inner Peace, one person at a time, one couple at a time. Are you anxious or depressed? Struggling with emotional or physical infidelity? Feeling lonely, overwhelmed or undervalued in your life and relationships? Are you struggling with racial or cross-cultural issues? I've worked with all of these issues and experienced many of them myself, as a mixed-race person: African-American/Irish-Apache. There are ways to make peace with yourself while walking through our world of challenges.

Are you carrying the heavy load of trauma, feeling like an imposter in your own body? It's challenging to navigate daily life when the weight of past experiences looms over you. Your relationship may be strained because your partner doesn't understand what's wrong, and you find yourself trapped in constant ruminating thoughts, losing sight of your purpose.
Imagine a life where you've lifted that burden, and trauma becomes a distant memory that no longer weighs you down. Picture yourself out, enjoying life with friends and your partner, your bond stronger than ever. You've rediscovered your spirit and purpose.
I specialize in trauma healing by using EMDR, CPT, and Brain Spotting. These modalities aim to get to the heart of trauma and help your brain reprocess those traumatic memories. Book a free consultation and let me help you feel whole again.
