I'm Mike Evers, LMHC, LPC, founder and director of Resouling Therapy.
I've been a therapist for over 10 years, and one thing I've become convinced of is that therapy doesn't look the same for everyone. People come with different personalities, histories, relationships, and needs from therapy. I seek to understand the person sitting in front of me rather than fit them into a particular approach.
I'm deeply curious about people and listen for patterns and connections. We might be talking about your job, an argument with your partner, or an experience from years ago, and I'll notice themes running through them. At times I'll make connections or put words to an experience you haven't quite been able to describe yourself.
Understanding where those patterns come from can be important. Though insight matters, insight alone doesn't bring healing. I'm interested in what helps that understanding begin to make a difference in your life.
What It's Like to Work With Me
My style is active, relational, and flexible. I won't sit silently while you try to figure out what you're supposed to talk about. At the same time, it's not my job to tell you how you should live your life.
We might slow things down and stay with what's happening for you in the moment. I might ask a question you haven't considered, offer what I'm noticing, or suggest we try something different. You don't need to come in knowing exactly what you want to talk about or why you feel the way you do. We'll figure that out together.
You'll probably also hear me say that two things can be true at the same time. You can want something and be afraid of it. You can love someone and be angry with them. You can be grateful for what you have and still want something to change.
Part of our work will be helping you get better at hearing your own voice and trusting what you're learning about yourself.
And yes, there's room for seriousness and emotion in therapy, and... room for humor too.
Just because you don't know why you feel the way you do doesn't mean there isn't a good reason. We can start with what's happening and get curious from there.
Experience & Perspective
Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 10 years working in talent, leadership, and team development. That experience still shapes how I understand work, leadership, relationships, and organizational life. I bring those experiences to my clients today.
My training includes attachment-based and psychodynamic therapy, ACT, CBT and schema work, Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, and somatic approaches. I'm also Birkman and SYMBIS certified. If you don't know what all of that means, that's okay. You don't need to. I use that training as a resource rather than a formula for how therapy is supposed to go.
