Most mental health symptoms can be traced back to trauma; it’s not what's wrong with you, but what has happened to you. The effects of trauma can last for a lifetime without an intervention. When there is trauma, negative beliefs are created, inhibiting our ability to function fully, affecting the way we view ourselves, others, and the world we live in. We may feel that if we could just "push through" or bury our symptoms and memories, that is enough, until it isn't. In the beginning of therapy, we focus on symptom relief with self-care, coping skills, and boundary setting - then, going further and healing the traumas.

Dr. Venus Evans-Winters is a licensed clinical social worker, trauma professional, and professor. She draws upon multiple therapeutic and psychoeducational techniques (e.g. cognitive, dialectical, and reality therapies) to meet clients' mental health and socio-emotional needs. A native of Chicago and representative of the hip hop generation, she helps culturally and linguistically diverse clients cope with chronic stress and trauma. Her practice is influenced by Adlerian theory and centers culturally responsive approaches to practice because we know that culture is a major influence on one's perception of stress and self-efficacy.

Sometimes we all feel a little bit broken, we can get so caught up in what's going wrong or what's not working. Sometimes life get's hard, too much stress at home or work, relationship issues, grief and loss, addiction, depression, anxiety or feeling like we have just lost our way. No matter what is going on, you have taken that first step and you have come to the right place.

“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” – Helen Keller. The journey of life is full of surprises, doubts, loss and lonely times; as well as joys, celebrations and hard-won victories. There are times when it becomes vital to find a companion and safe space to share your experience. No matter where you are on the journey, I'm here to walk with you.

We all experience difficult times in our life, whether the difficulty is trauma from your past, relationship issues, stress or feeling overwhelmed. Those difficult times may bring sadness, hurt, anxiety, loneliness or anger. I can help you let go and work through those behaviors and patterns that no longer serve a purpose for you. I will strive to help you gain insight, clarity and acceptance in your life. Counseling can help you create the life you desire and deserve. It takes courage to take the first step to become an even better version of you!

Do you need a safe space to explore who you are and what you need? As a therapist with lived experience, I create a safe and nurturing space where individuals can explore their issues and develop insights and self-acceptance. My background in teaching yoga and training in integrative mental health treatment enriched my understanding of the the intricate interplay between physical, spiritual, and mental well-being. My therapeutic approach is rooted in non-judgmental observation and compassionate curiosity.

Has your life taken an unexpected detour? Maybe it's a chaotic relationship, unrelating anxiety or navigating difficult family dynamics. Whatever your struggles might be, fighting these battles on your own can be difficult, painful and sometimes overwhelming. However, there is an incredible amount of power in a strong therapeutic relationship where you can process life with someone who desires to fully understand you with a lens of compassion and empathy.

Accepting new clients. I specialize in clients struggling with grief and loss. As a clinician I recognize that as we move through life many if not most experiences include loss, physical or otherwise. I also work with clients struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, or birth trauma. I provide a safe space for clients to process experiences and emotions and navigate a path forward to healing. As a member of the Still Waters Counseling team I look forward to empowering my clients so they can live their lives to the fullest and heal from past trauma.

Patients whom engage in treatment with me, as their therapist, will be given a safe outlet and the development of trust within the relationship. Patients will be given the opportunity to share events, emotions, and perceptions of circumstances which have led them to needing mental health therapy. Our goal within therapy is to review the past and focus on the here and now to achieve personal happiness. Both privately and professionally I have gained insight to help persons recognize themselves as more than survivors..
