About Evelyn
Evelyn Herman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Washington with 32 years of experience. She focuses on helping people strengthen self-esteem and manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns. Evelyn aims to make reaching out feel manageable, meeting people where they are and listening without judgment.
She draws on a holistic view that includes emotions, thoughts, physical health, and what gives a person meaning. In sessions she uses practical tools such as mindfulness practices, cognitive-behavioral techniques, imagery and visualization, breath work, and guided meditation. These tools are offered in simple, step-by-step ways so clients can try them between sessions.
Her background includes five years as co-director of a counseling team in Bellevue and many years running a independent practice called StillwatersPeace Counseling Service. Over three decades she has supported people facing major life transitions and complex emotional hurt, including trauma and abuse, and she has worked with many people on parenting, sleeping, intimacy, and career issues.
Evelyn describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens closely to each person’s story, then suggests strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings and increase clarity. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays useful and relevant.
She emphasizes practical changes that build confidence and forward momentum. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps - changing unhelpful thoughts, easing intense emotions, improving communication, and developing daily practices that support wellbeing and self-worth.
