Evelyn Herman

Evelyn Herman is a Washington State clinician with a Master’s Degree in Integrative Psychology, trained to work with mind, body, emotions, and spirit. She brings 32 years of counseling experience to her private practice and creates a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where people can share what they need and feel heard. Evelyn validates the courage it takes to reach out and partners with clients to address issues that have been holding them back, offering practical tools and strategies to foster greater empowerment.

Her professional background includes five years as Co-Director of the CenteringPoint Team in Bellevue (1985-1990) and a long-standing private practice as the owner of StillwatersPeace Counseling Service. She has worked with people of all ages and circumstances and has supported both men and women through major life changes and transitions.

Her therapeutic style is holistic - attending to emotions, thought patterns, physical health, and spiritual needs to promote deeper healing. She uses mindfulness practices to help clients stay present with compassion, cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify and shift limiting thoughts, and more experiential methods such as imagery, visualization, meditation, breath work, dream exploration, and the healing paradigm of the Medicine Wheel. Evelyn works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit best, inviting client input throughout the process.

Her specialties include stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, LGBT concerns, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, self-esteem, career difficulties, and coping with life changes. She has extensive experience supporting hundreds of women recovering from sexual and/or physical and emotional abuse, whether experienced in childhood, rape in adulthood, or in situations of domestic violence. She also addresses intimacy issues, sleep disturbances, parenting concerns, and self-esteem work.

Evelyn values the opportunity to connect with clients in multiple ways and can accommodate frequent contact if needed. She monitors messages and emails at least twice daily to respond in a timely manner. She is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State - a professional credential that authorizes her to practice (credential: WA LMHC LH00006129).
