Turning Stumbling Blocks into Stepping Stones

Few Journeys through life are uninterrupted. Take these pauses as a time to reflect, refresh, and recharge~~and they cease to be perceived as interruptions.

Hello, I’m Evelyn A. Stone, LCSW, CFLE and welcome to my Homepage. That which I value most is LIFE, and I have dedicated my life to helping others deal with the many challenges encountered along their journey.

Individual Counseling

Individual counseling services are available for adults, adolescents and children.  Clinical services are based on the client’s needs.   I primarily work with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety, anger and substance abuse issues. 

Family Counseling

Family counseling examines family communication and seeks to improve the interactions between family members by improving communication, learning effective discipline methods and developing a spirit of cooperation among family members.

Counseling Philosophy / Strategies

I accept only clients in my practice who I believe have the capacity to resolve their own issues with my assistance.  I believe as people become more aware of themselves and their problems, they can develop a capacity to change.  This capacity to change is based on the premise that human behavior is an interaction between biological, psychological and sociological forces.  Change is a process that sometimes takes a long time to achieve.  Some clients may only need a few sessions to achieve their goals, while others require months or even years of counseling.  I will be supportive no matter the time frame.

 I enlist a variety of strategies in order to facilitate change.   These strategies may include:   talk therapy, art therapy*, sand tray, role play, parenting skills, and much more. 

HEALING MANDALAS – Mandala art (circular forms) is a means to self-expression and a powerful guide to what we are experiencing at a given time.   Some see the mandala as a source of healing and an effective to clear blocks to peace and calm allowing us to reconnect to the center within all of us.

Here are some examples of Healing Mandalas :
