About Evelyn Herman
Evelyn Herman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington State with 32 years of counseling experience and a Master’s degree in Integrative Psychology, a training that brings together mind, body, emotions, and spirit. She approaches therapy with compassion and a steady, nonjudgmental presence, offering a supportive space where clients can speak openly and feel genuinely heard. Her work emphasizes careful listening and practical tools that help people move through challenges in ways that build clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of personal direction.
Early in her career, Evelyn served as Co-Director of the CenteringPoint Team in Bellevue, Washington from 1985 to 1990. Since then, she has continued in private practice as the owner of StillwatersPeace Counseling Service. Across decades of practice, she has supported people of many ages and life circumstances, including those navigating major transitions in a fast-paced world. She views therapy as a process of self-discovery that can be demanding at times, while also offering moments of inspiration, growth, and renewed self-esteem as clients uncover parts of themselves that may have been overlooked or silenced.
Evelyn’s style is holistic and integrative. Along with exploring emotions, she helps clients identify inaccurate or discouraging thought patterns, attend to the role of physical well-being, and reconnect with what provides meaning and nourishment on a deeper level. She incorporates mindfulness to help clients stay grounded in the present and relate to feelings with more compassion, and she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support changes in unhelpful thinking and ingrained patterns. For clients who prefer a more intuitive, imagery-based approach, she may also use visualization, meditation, breath-work, dream analysis, and the Medicine Wheel framework. She works collaboratively, inviting ongoing input and feedback so the approach fits the client rather than the other way around.
Her specialties include depression, stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss. Evelyn has extensive experience supporting survivors of sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, rape, and domestic violence, including experiences that occurred in childhood or adulthood. She also works with concerns such as intimacy issues, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Evelyn Herman draws from approaches that can be especially effective in online therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly and feel understood, which can be helpful when working through stress, grief, relationship concerns, or major life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based approach that helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with more balanced ways of thinking and responding. This can be useful for concerns like anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and coping during transitions. Mindfulness Therapy may be included to build present-moment awareness and a kinder relationship with emotions, helping clients feel less pulled around by overwhelm and more grounded in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Evelyn collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjusts the pace and tools accordingly so therapy stays personalized and relevant.
Online therapy also makes it easier to fit support into real life. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging to stay engaged between appointments when that format is a better match.
