About

Maricsa Evans, M.A., LMFT I am a licensed marriage and family therapist eager to provide holistic treatment to clients struggling with depression, anxiety and life stressors. My approach Maricsa uses a person-centered approach when providing therapy and takes time to build rapport in order to develop a healthy therapeutic relationship with clients. My focus Maricsa currently works with individuals and couples to create and implement effective and individualized treatment plans. In addition, she has foundational coursework and training in cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapies. My communication style Communication is key to understanding others and being understood is something that makes many people feel safe, valued and cared. When people feel deeply heard, understood, and believed, it can be transformative for them, particularly when moving on from trauma or difficult life events. I provide a safe non judge mental environment for clients to feel safe. My journey to therapy I was always in the helping profession and found it very rewarding. Knowing that I have a part in affecting the life of another human being keeps me motivated. Giving hope when people feel hopeless. Inspiring others to be all that they are capable of being, so that they can go out into the world and pay it forward by helping others is my passion.
