Hello, I’m Evan Rap, I believe that everyone can benefit from the transformative power of therapy. I will support your holistic growth, from physical well-being to spiritual fulfillment. Many of us experience challenges despite our successes in other areas of life. If you’ve exhausted your options for overcoming these obstacles, it’s time to explore new perspectives.

My approach:
I believe we all carry a “blueprint” for how we view the world, our relationships, and ourselves shaped by early experiences Over time, this blueprint often ends up hindering our growth and well-being. Together, we can explore this internal landscape, challenge limiting beliefs, and create positive change.
As your therapist, I offer a supportive and curious space for you to delve into your inner world and question that blueprint. By understanding your patterns and motivations, we can work towards greater self-awareness and empowerment. My insight-oriented “deep-work” approach therapy is rooted in Object-Relations and Modern Psychoanalysis. As both a client and a therapist, I have found that this traditional method of therapy can bring profound change and help individuals unlock their potential and build more fulfilling lives.
A note on group therapy: Humans are relational beings, so many of our problems show up in our relationships. Group therapy can therefore be one of the most effective formats for working on your concerns. In a confidential setting, group members support and challenge each other to explore their behavior patterns and to move towards developing satisfying relationships.
Additional Information:
Finding the “right” therapist for you and your situation can feel overwhelming. However, this is an important step toward supporting you, your child, and your family system in the therapeutic process. My hope is that you can learn more about me, as a human and as a therapist, to determine if we are the right fit.
