Evelyn Pappoe

My communication style

I prioritize clear and open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you have the opportunity to discuss your challenges openly. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to be patient and calm.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up in an immigrant family with a history of teenage pregnancy, living in survival mode, and experienced the effects of my parents' divorce. These experiences influenced my decision to become a therapist to help people who are experiencing emotional distress and life transitions.

My goals for you

Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal goal. Your goals may evolve as you gain new insights. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure that it's relevant to you. I'm here to provide you with the support and tools you need.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another, like a meet and greet, to discuss your background, what brings you to therapy, and your goals. It's completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you through each step of this process.
