Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Greetings! My name is Evelyn Herman, and I am happy to meet you in this way. I have a Masters Degree in Integrative Psychology (Mind-Body-Emotions-Spirit) and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State, with 32 years of counseling experience. It is important to me in our work together to always create a safe space where you are confident that whatever you need to share will be received with compassion and without judgement. I acknowledge you for the courage it takes to reach out for help when you need it , and for your willingness to do the work to resolve issues in your life that have been holding you back. I promise you that I will listen deeply to your feelings, your problems, and your challenges, and offer you tools and strategies to resolve these issues in a way that empowers you in your life.
For 5 years (1985-1990), I was Co-Director of the CenteringPoint Team in Bellevue, Washington, and since then I have been in private practice as owner of the StillwatersPeace Counseling Service. I have vast experience in working with people of all ages and all circumstances, and in our fast-paced world today, I have provided support for both men and women undergoing major life changes and transitions. Therapy for me is always a great adventure of greater self-awareness, expanded clarity, enhanced self-esteem, and personal liberation, and although therapy can be hard work at times, it can also be exciting and inspiring as you open up to and discover unknown parts of yourself.
My approach to therapy is very holistic, meaning that we will deal with all parts of yourself; not just your emotions, but also inaccurate or negative thought patterns and mind-sets, ways to enhance the physical health of your body, as well as what feeds your Spirit. I have found that addressing all of these (mind-body-emotions-spirit) allows for a deeper experience of healing and well-being. Mindfulness techniques can assist you to be more present in each moment and to observe your emotions with compassion, rather than be consumed by them. Cognitive Behaviorial Therapy techniques can help you identify and restructure debilitating thought patterns and limiting programmings that have undermined the peace and success in your life that you so richly deserve. For those who would enjoy a more right-brain approach to therapy, I work with imagery and visualization, meditation, breath-work, dream analysis, and the healing paradigm of the Medicine Wheel. We will work together as a team to find what approach is best for you, and so your input and feedback are essential to the process.
My Specialties are working with Depression, Stress and Anxiety, Relationship Issues, Trauma and Abuse, and Grief and Loss. I have worked with hundreds of women who are recovering from sexual and/or physical/emotional abuse, whether as children or being raped as adults or in situations of domestic violence. I also have experience in working with intimacy issues, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, self-esteem, and coping with life-changes.
I have always enjoyed working with people, and seeing the light go on in them, and it would be my greatest pleasure to work with you as well. I love that the BetterHelp platform allows us to connect in many different ways, so we can even connect daily if that is needed. I will be checking my messages and emails at least twice a day so I can respond to you in a timely manner. I hope to hear from you soon, and I only wish the very best for you.

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).
For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes – online therapy has been shown to offer outcomes comparable to traditional in-person therapy. It can be an effective option for people seeking help with these kinds of issues.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the format that suits them best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care.
Therapists who provide online care are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy provides an accessible way to work with qualified clinicians while preserving many of the core elements of effective treatment.
