“I decided to seek out mental health care again because I did not feel mentally well. I felt unhealthy. I was worried a lot, and I had a lot of anger. I could not get rid of my past, and everything was a trigger. I had been in and out of therapy over the years. I had tried different medications but never liked how they made me feel. When I came to Charles Evans, my provider was open to hearing about what medications did not work for me, and we talked that through.

All the previous times I was in therapy at different agencies, I felt I was not getting real help. I guess the therapists I had were never a good fit. My therapist at Charles Evans is a good fit, and I feel able to talk openly about everything, both from the past and in the present. This has helped me get everything out, and get good feedback. I can leave a session feeling better then when I arrived. I have been able to gain perspective and I have stopped blaming myself for all the bad things that have happened to me. It took a long time to be able to do that.”
