Ataysia Evans is an LPC-Associate supervised by Sarah Kim, PhD, LPC-S and Mirandi Edward LPC-S. She works with individuals and couples ages 16 and older. Ataysia supports clients navigating trauma, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), suicidal ideation, depression, and anxiety. Her therapeutic approach is primarily grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), while also drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities to meet each client’s individual experiences, needs, and concerns. Ataysia believes that therapy is most effective when clients receive an approach that is thoughtfully tailored to who they are rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model.
Ataysia believes therapy should provide a space where clients feel supported, heard, and deeply understood while also being challenged in healthy and meaningful ways. She approaches counseling from a trauma-informed and culturally responsive lens, recognizing that each person’s experiences, relationships, environment, and history shape how they understand themselves and navigate the world. Her approach is also informed by three years of experience working in community mental health with individuals experiencing serious mental illness. Ataysia values accountability, empathy, communication, and growth, and works collaboratively with clients to build insight, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful and sustainable change. She strives to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel respected and supported while having the space to grow beyond what may be holding them back.
