I'm Rob Evans, and I work with teens and adults who are anxious, grieving, or figuring out what comes next. Health concerns often come into the picture. Stress, physical health, and mood are all connected, and all of them have a place in our work together. Before counseling, I was a respiratory therapist. I spent years working with people through illness, stress, and uncertainty. I later made a career change of my own, so I understand what it's like to step into something new without having all the answers. Sessions with me are practical and direct. You don't need a polished story to begin.

I use CBT most often because it gives us something concrete to work with: we look at the thoughts and habits that keep you stuck, and you leave each session with something to try before the next one. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in Texas, supervised by Shaunté Collins, LPC-S, with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas at Dallas.

We can start wherever you are. If something has been weighing on you and you're ready to take a closer look, reach out and we'll see if we're a fit.

Roy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. He has a masters degree from the University of Michigan in Social Work with undergraduate psychology and sociology degrees from Lake Forest College. Roy has always been curious about other people’s points of view and enjoys learning about the qualities and experiences that make an individual unique.   

Previous experience with clients was in psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, in schools and in homes. He feels privileged to share the journey of many people on their journey to wellness as they learn to manage mental illness, difficult relationships or other events in their lives. Roy feels that the sense of being heard and understood is an essential component to effective treatment and understanding what approaches best suit an individual or family. He believes that change comes from learning to maximize strengths and increasing ability to see beyond what feels limiting.  

Roy works with children as young as age 6+, families, and individuals with learning and cognitive differences, chronic mental health conditions, depression, anxiety and more. Roy utilizes mindfulness, CBT, psychoeducation and experiential strategies to help clients experience change toward meeting their goals. 

I am a counselor with a Master of Science in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling and a passion for helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate life’s challenges and discover their own strengths. My experience includes working with children and teens in school and community-based settings, supporting individuals facing anxiety, stress, family changes, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. I especially enjoy working with adolescents and young adults who may feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or uncertain about their future. I also work with adults experiencing anxiety, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.

Building a strong, trusting relationship with my clients is at the heart of my approach. I take time to establish genuine rapport so clients feel safe, heard, and comfortable being themselves. Through a warm, person-centered approach, I help clients understand their emotions, recognize their strengths, and make meaningful changes at their own pace.

You do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out for support. Where you are today does not determine where you can go tomorrow. With support, encouragement, and the right tools, you can write a better story for yourself. When you are ready, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take that next step toward healing and growth.

I'm a licensed professional counselor associate (LPC associate) and a graduate of Texas A&M University–Central Texas. My experience spans a continuum of care, from inpatient treatment to intensive outpatient and outpatient settings, including a year-long internship at an inpatient hospital. I have also facilitated violence prevention groups and worked with court-mandated individuals. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). While I do not currently specialize in one specific area, I'm committed to continually expanding my knowledge across a broad range of mental health concerns and client populations.

My approach to counseling is grounded in the belief that you have the power and the reins in your own life. I see my role as a sounding board, guide, and supportive partner. Stress management is an important part of my approach. I also believe counseling should consider the whole person—work, relationships, children, and pets all influence wellbeing.

I recognize choosing to begin counseling is a meaningful decision, and I don't take the time you share with me for granted. One of the quotes I've carried with me is, "Be the leader you wish you had." That idea reflects how I strive to show up—with honesty, compassion, respect, and genuine care. If you feel ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment.
