Evan McCrary

Hi, I'm Evan! I believe many of us carry a deep longing to be seen, heard, and accepted for who we truly are. As an EMDR therapist, I especially enjoy working with Black, BIPOC individuals, women, and adults who want to heal the lasting impact of attachment and relational wounds, experiences of exclusion, and the effects of living in environments where belonging felt conditional. I also work with individuals navigating infidelity, relationships with unavailable partners, and other relational experiences that carry shame. Together, we'll work to process the experiences that continue to shape your present, reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories, and help you move beyond patterns that no longer reflect the life and relationships you want to build. I believe many of the ways we struggle make sense in the context of our lived experiences. Attachment and relational wounds, exclusion, and experiences of conditional belonging can shape the beliefs we hold about ourselves and the adaptations we've developed to find safety, connection, acceptance, or love. Through EMDR, alongside attachment-focused, relational, somatic, and parts-informed approaches, we'll work to identify and process the experiences underlying these patterns so they no longer have to define how you see yourself or relate to others. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and direct. Together, we'll slow down enough to understand what your emotions, body, and nervous system have been communicating, making sense of these patterns with curiosity rather than judgment while creating new experiences of safety, connection, and self-trust. My goal is to co-create a therapeutic relationship where you feel deeply seen, supported, and empowered to reconnect with who you are beyond survival, process experiences that continue to influence your present, challenge beliefs that were shaped by past wounds rather than your inherent worth, and build relationships and a life that feel authentic, aligned, and rooted in your values. Whether you're hoping to heal from trauma, strengthen your relationships, reduce shame, or feel more fully yourself, our work together will focus on helping you move from surviving to living with greater freedom, connection, and authenticity.
