I see psychotherapy as a psycho-educational experience where you learn about yourself. This counseling process of self-exploration leads to understanding self-defeating thinking and behaviors that may keep you from actualizing potential for successful relationships, success in business and career and from having a really happy life . During the years since I have been a licensed psychologist, I have had the privilege of helping many individuals and couples to achieve a happier, emotionally healthier, and financially successful life . My patients describe me as being a no nonsense person, while at the same time being warm and comfortable.

My name is Timothy C. Evans. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Marriage & Family Therapist and Addiction Counselor in the states of Pennsylvania and Texas. I have 36 years of practice.

As a former graduate student from Kutztown University Counseling Program, I have first-hand knowledge on the effect that unresolved mental health issues can endure on daily living. I have worked with all ages and my expertise is related to working with individuals who have had difficulties with life ’s stressors such as, dealing with relationships, & negative self-perceptions, as well as symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood disorders, adjustment issues, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity, and other concerns.

I believe that every human being has the ability to be the best person they can be. Everyone struggles at different times in life , some unfortunately, more than others complicated by circumstances, situations and relationships. I work with the understanding that we get stuck around negative emotions that we tend to avoid, as they are uncomfortable, unwanted and painful. I help people explore what their underlying core emotional issues are and help them clarify how they are avoiding them, inviting them to face these uncomfortable emotional experiences and move toward them, stretching their comfort zone.

My goal is to help you reach your goals. My approach is positive and encouraging. Together we will work to get to the root of the issues, and resolve what can be resolved. Sometimes this means simply gaining a different perspective on an old problem; other times it means healing and learning to move past the deep wounds life can cause. It is my joy to help you sort out the complications that have kept you stuck, whether it's overcoming individual issues or relationship struggles.
