In Evelyn's words
I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and major life transitions.
My background includes extensive trauma-informed work with individuals and families, and it shaped how I show up in the room: calm, steady, collaborative, and respectful of your lived experience and your identity.
My approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing on CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness. Sessions are structured but supportive. We work on understanding your patterns, regulating your emotions, building coping skills, and helping you feel more grounded and more in control.
People often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. My role is to help you slow down, feel steady enough to look at what is happening underneath, and learn practical tools that make daily life more manageable.
Therapy here is built on genuine connection. As much as you are learning about yourself, I am learning about you: your pace, your story, and what you need in order to feel understood. That is what lets real change take hold.

Not an exhaustive list. If what you are dealing with is not here, it is still worth asking. Call (646) 493-4007 and ask.
Most therapy has no structure. Ours has four stages and a scoreboard.
On most platforms you are matched with whoever has an open slot, and what happens next depends entirely on which therapist you drew. There is no shared method and no way to tell whether it is working. Every MindView clinician runs the same format, and measures it.
- 01
Intake
What is actually going on.
Your first session maps what brought you in. You rate what you are feeling 0 to 10, and that becomes the baseline every later session is measured against.
- 02
Your history
Why it is happening.
A full walk through your history, relationships, work, and health, to pinpoint what is driving the problem rather than guessing at it. You can decline any question.
- 03
Treatment plan
The plan, built against those causes.
Written and collaborative. Concrete goals, the methods your therapist will use, plus one personal goal that matters to you outside any diagnosis.
- 04
Monthly review
Proof it is working.
Once a month, standardized measures. You see the trend, and the approach changes if it is flat.
Who you get
A license is where our training starts, not where it ends.
Evelyn was state-licensed before seeing a single client. Then came training with us: every modality on the next tab, and how to match one to the problem in front of them. Held to one standard across the whole practice.
The problem picks the method
Avoidance-driven panic gets exposure work. A pattern repeating across relationships gets psychodynamic work.
Not your therapist's favorite
Most practices use the one approach they trained in, on everyone. Ours are trained across all of them.
It changes if the data says so
If the monthly measures are not moving, the approach gets revisited. Not repeated for another six months.
What Evelyn is trained in
Every MindView clinician trains across these, then matches the method to the problem rather than applying one favourite to everyone.

What does Evelyn work on with clients?
Anything you bring. Evelyn often works with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and big life transitions, and her background includes extensive trauma-informed work with individuals and families. You do not need to have it figured out before you book.
What is Evelyn's approach?
The method is matched to what you actually came in with, never applied off a shelf. Care has a clear structure, so you always know what is coming next. And progress gets checked on a schedule, so if something is not moving, the plan changes.

Not the right fit?
Every MindView clinician is licensed and trained in the same method, but unique in their own way.
