About

Hi there, I'm Evelyn! Evelyn Vedar, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT126538). I have been working in the mental health field for eight years in various settings. Throughout the years, I have gained a better understanding of human behaviors from clients, advocates, colleagues, and supervisors with whom I worked with. My current clinical practice is mainly focused on helping survivors of domestic violence. My approach I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution Focused in treating issues such as trauma, grief, anxiety, self-esteem, anger, and depression. I give utmost importance in establishing rapport with my clients at the start of the therapeutic process. My key approach to therapy is Client Centered, which conveys an understanding and compassion to clients' experiences and perceptions. I encourage clients to think and come to conclusions for themselves and support them in finding their strengths. My focus I typically work with adult clients who are dealing with anxiety, anger issues, family conflicts, trauma, and depression. My communication style I believe that communication and collaboration between client and therapist are significant to overall results of therapy. I encourage openness to sharing thoughts and feelings to create a safe environment in the therapeutic process. I am mindful of what I say and how I say it. I exert good effort in putting my observations empathically into words to let clients know that I validate their experiences. My journey to therapy I have always had a genuine interest in social interactions, human behaviors, and how the mind works. As a therapist, I have been able to meet a wide variety of people with different personalities. I find it rewarding to see positive results from my clients' treatment. It is fulfilling to be able to help people work through difficult times, gain better understanding of themselves, and view their experiences from new perspectives.
