More about Evelyn

  • LMHC

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.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

The answer to my prayers! She is the best therapist I’ve had in my life and that I’ve encountered. She’s very professional and knowledgeable as well as very intuitive, empathetic, supportive, wise and loving. Honestly, if I can’t have Evelyn as my therapist I don’t want anyone else! She’s beyond the stars best ever.

I had about a year or so of counselling/therapy with Evelyn back in 2020 for deep grief and trauma. She is kind, empathetic, non-judgemental and very compassionate. A very open minded individual with so much love and light to offer. With her guidance and help I was able to move forward while carrying my lost with a smile in my heart. She was able to help me find ways to process and handle strong emotions, and find ways to have a healthier mindset. Evelyn was a huge part in my healing. Thank you forever and always.

Evelyn is a fantastic counselor! I initially came to her to work on marital issues, and was able to also work through the grief of losing my parents, learning to be more comfortable advocating for myself and learning to be more patient both as a parent of a small child and more broadly. I couldn’t recommend Evelyn more strongly.

She is like a grandma to me already… so sweet yet so concerned about the things i’ve gone through. you can tell she has empathy for the trauma i have been through, and is overall so kind and reassuring. she works with me and some of my family members. we are all so grateful for her. ❤️

My therapist relationship with Evelyn has been life-changing. She listens with full engagement, and has continually helped me look through circumstances to the things that I can change. We have together worked to reframe my unhealthy or negative thought patterns, improving my ability to communicate with clarity and kindness - both with myself, and with others. I am a better person for knowing her.

Penny has always listened to what I believed even if she didnt agree and is always willing to help me talk through it at my own pace. I dont like going on camera and she doesnt push me to do it and is happy for me to point my camera at my cats instead so I feel safer and more comfortable talking during the session. We have a regular session every week now and I dont know what I would do without the session anymore

She is so amazing, she is super kind and really listens. I really enjoy that recognizes and tells me what strengths she sees in me. In no way does she force personal views on me, which I really enjoy.

I have grown to trust Evelyn during the time we've been doing our counseling sessions and she has always completely understood and has not judged me for the way I act or think. We do video sessions and although I'm too shy to actually go on camera she doesn't mind. She's very attentive and answers really quickly even with the time difference. She reminds me to do my daily message in the room which keeps me on track all the time. I have only used Evelyn on BetterHelp so I may be bias but I would definitely recommend her to anyone who would like help.

Dr. Herman has done an excellent job helping my wife and I to overcome our frequent miscommunications that would often escalate in to bigger issues. She took the time to listen to both myself and my wife, hear our concerns, identify areas where we can improve how we speak to one another (language, tone, etc.) and helped us to find a solution to what was a marriage that was heading for divorce. No matter your personal outcome, I truly believe that Dr. Herman has her client’s best interests at heart and will work to help each party improve themselves and come away from this process feeling like it was a valuable, worthwhile experience.

I was a bit scared of being judged for my spiritual practices and that was the reason I was avoiding counselling. I felt that spirituality, wiccan practices and counselling do not go hand in hand. But Evelyn believes in working with my practices and encourages me to stick to what I love.

Evelyn has been very helpful so far! I was nervous about trying online counseling, but I've found it to be legit. Evelyn is highly qualified, and I can tell she genuinely cares about her clients. The video sessions are super convenient, and the text messaging component is great. It's very reassuring to know that I can reach out to check in or ask questions during the week if something comes up. I've only had a couple counseling sessions so far, but I'm looking forward to continuing the process. :)
