COUNSELING

Support for Every Season

Mental health counseling that meets you where you are—whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, hopeful for change, or simply in need of a safe space to process life’s challenges.

Why Counseling?

Life is complex, and even the strongest among us need support at times. At The Evergreen Institute (TEI), mental health counseling begins with where you are—whether you’re overwhelmed, navigating loss, feeling stuck, healing from trauma, longing for connection, or simply in need of space to reflect and process thoughts and feelings. Counseling offers a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment to work through what you’re carrying, gain clarity, build new skills, and move forward with greater peace and purpose.

We believe emotional wellness is foundational to whole-person health. That’s why our approach blends evidence-based mental health care with opportunities for reflection, practical growth, and spiritual integration when desired. Every session is shaped around your goals and grounded in deep respect for your story, because healing and progress start with feeling seen, safe, and supported.

Our Therapist

MEET CASEY

I’m Casey, and I believe healing begins when we slow down and really listen— to our mind, body, and soul.

I’ve spent the last two decades walking with people through various seasons of life. What I’ve learned is that most of us aren’t looking for quick fixes—we’re looking to be truly seen and heard, for strategies that will support real change, and for lasting healing from trauma and relational wounds.

In the therapy room, that's what I strive to offer.

My approach is interactive, deeply relational, and centered around your goals. I bring clinical skill, evidence-based interventions, curiosity, and compassion into every session. I aim to create a safe and welcoming space where you can show up fully as you are and to walk alongside you towards meeting your personal goals.

Whether you’re looking for support, clarity, or simply a safe place to land, I’m here to walk alongside you.
