Hi, I’m Evelyn Banuelos. My ideal clients are individuals who may have experienced trauma, abusive relationships, or significant loss and are seeking a steady, supportive space to heal and move forward. Stress can show up as anxiety, depression, substance use, or relationship struggles. These experiences can feel even more complicated when shaped by cultural expectations, system involvement, or past instability. I offer a supportive space to help you process what you’ve been through, find relief, and move forward with more clarity and confidence. As cliche as it sounds, you're definitely not alone.
I offer trauma-informed, culturally responsive therapy for children, teens, adults, and families. Using CBT, family systems, psychodynamic, and relational approaches, I help clients process trauma and grief, build emotional regulation, develop healthier coping skills, and strengthen relationships in a supportive, structured way.
With over a decade of experience as a social worker, I help individuals and families work through stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can develop practical tools, feel understood, and move toward greater emotional balance and well-being. I offer free 15 min consultation, let's chat
