Evelyn Stewart, MS, LPC, LCMHC

Founder & Clinical Supervisor

*Licensed in Colorado, North Carolina, Florida & South Carolina*

Specialties: Neurodivergence, BIPOC & Global Majority Mental Health, Identity Exploration, Burnout, Trauma, Nervous System Regulation, LGBTQ+ Affirming Care, First/Second-Generation Experiences

You may be the person who holds everything together for everyone else while quietly feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unseen inside.

Evelyn creates a therapy space that is warm, collaborative, and deeply affirming for people navigating the complexity of identity, burnout, trauma, masking, emotional overwhelm, and the pressure to survive systems that were never designed to hold them fully. Her approach is rooted in the belief that healing is not about becoming someone new, but returning to yourself with more compassion, honesty, and understanding.

Her work is especially supportive for BIPOC and People of the Global Majority, neurodivergent adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, first- and second-generation adults, caregivers, helpers, and those who have spent much of their lives adapting to environments where they felt misunderstood, hyper-visible, or unseen.

Together, therapy may include exploring nervous system patterns, relationship dynamics, identity, attachment wounds, boundaries, self-worth, grief, and the emotional weight of constantly “pushing through.” Evelyn integrates somatic awareness, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and practical coping tools while honoring the cultural, relational, and systemic contexts that shape mental health and healing.

This is not a space where you need to overperform, explain your humanity, or minimize your experiences to be understood. Therapy with Evelyn is about creating room for your full self, the overwhelmed parts, the resilient parts, the grieving parts, the hopeful parts, and the versions of you still learning how to rest, feel safe, and take up space.
