Evelyn Coyoy, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Evelyn!

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. I would like to provide you with an environment where you can not only share your past life experiences and current stressors but also shed what is no longer serving you. I am a bilingual (Spanish) therapist who works with individuals who are being impacted by trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

My focus

My approach is a good fit for adolescents, young adults, and established adults working through trauma, managing anxiety and depression, and experiencing life transitions. I help clients navigate these challenges while making necessary changes to improve their overall well-being.

My approach

I will first focus on creating a therapeutic relationship centered around comfort and safety. I will help you gain self-awareness of the thoughts and habits that negatively impact your well-being. We will then explore strategies to help you manage the distress as you make the necessary changes to improve your quality of life.

My communication style

I create a space where you feel empowered. I remain attentive and non-judgmental as you explore the stressors impacting you. I also challenge you to use the knowledge and tools you're gaining during our sessions to achieve the change you're capable of.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began during my time working in the education system. As I worked with students who were struggling academically, I became aware of the negative impact that relationships, stressful life events, and home dynamics could have on their overall well-being. This led me to find passion in helping others heal and grow.

My goals for you

I believe everyone has exactly what they need. I will work alongside you to help you explore and identify what changes are necessary for you to navigate this moment in your life. We will collaborate in order to set goals that will allow us to not only track your progress but also ensure you are working towards your desired outcomes.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll simply get to know each other. I want to learn about who you are and your life experience. We'll touch on what brings you to therapy so I can begin to understand your needs and provide you with the support you deserve.
