Michelle Evans, LCPC — Therapist in Maryland

Hi there, I'm Michelle!

I specialize in eating disorders, OCD, anxiety, and maternal mental health. I help people navigate these challenges with warmth and expertise, creating a safe space where you can be yourself and work toward meaningful change.

My focus

I work with people facing eating disorders, OCD, anxiety, and maternal mental health concerns at all stages—preparing for pregnancy, during pregnancy, and postpartum. I also help parents navigate behavioral issues with adolescents and teenagers.

My approach

I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Radically Open DBT, Emotion Focused Family Therapy, Family Based Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I love getting to know people and helping them find what works. My goal is to make therapy feel safe, warm, and welcoming.

My communication style

I approach therapy with warmth and humor. I'm comfortable providing direct feedback and observations in a curious, kind way. My goal is to create a comfortable space where you can be yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've developed a passion for helping mothers prioritize their mental health and supporting families through challenging times. I love talking to people and truly getting to know them.

My goals for you

I use a combination of homework assignments between sessions and in-session work. We review assignments together and regularly check in to ensure our goals feel relevant and important to you.

Our first session

In our first session, I gather history and background information you're comfortable sharing to understand your full experience. We'll discuss what you're hoping to get from therapy and identify what feels comfortable and what topics feel off-limits right now.
