LMFT
Evelin Lemus, LMFT, is a dedicated therapist who specializes in guiding women through the myriad transitions they encounter throughout their lives. She understands that from early adulthood—navigating self-identity and sexual orientation, to the pivotal moments of starting and completing college, and even venturing into new careers—each stage comes with its own set of challenges. Throughout adulthood, many grapple with achieving work-life balance, questioning relationships, contemplating marriage, and recognizing patterns they'd like to change. As women move through life, facing midlife plateaus and reflections on retirement, they often seek peace with past experiences. Evelin provides a compassionate space for her clients to talk, cry, and explore these emotions. Her focus on inner child work and attachment-style healing, coupled with her expertise in EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Approaches, equips her to support clients in overcoming traumatic events—regardless of their size. Evelin's ultimate goal is to align clients' minds and hearts to help them embody the best versions of themselves. She believes that women hold a sacred place in the world, shaped significantly by the relationships with their primary caregivers. In today's fast-paced environment, she helps women reconnect with their goals and spirit, empowering them to thrive as individuals, partners, professionals, and mothers.
