Welcome to Evelyn Leite!

Are you among the many of who have found yourself in situations that eat away at your self-confidence, or cause you to lose trust in your ability to overcome whatever life obstacles come your way? Many, perhaps including you, live in the fear of the unknown, suffer low self-respect, where pride and self-worth have given way to anxiety, depression, and for some, even addiction.

Please accept my personal invitation to explore the wellness options available to you. I want to help you become empowered, to claim your God-given right to love yourself and like what you see when you look in the mirror.

There is no magic bullet, but there is support, encouragement, and a restoration of honor and dignity, if you are willing to take a chance and engage in the effort. You’ll need to stop looking at what is wrong and seek to embrace and expand on what is right.

I’ve been a family counselor, relationship therapist, addiction therapist and more for over 35 years. I understand your concerns about being “found out.” I know how to listen without judging, because my goal is to help you enjoy the life God meant you to have.

Please take your time to learn more about me and the many ways in which I can help you and those you love. When you’re ready to simply start a conversation, to explore how I can help you, use the Contact page on this web site. Until you’re ready, again, explore this site, take advantage of the many complimentary resources I offer. You’ll find help in these, and become more acquainted with me, my heart, and my commitment to you.

He had the ear bud from an iPod in one ear and was holding a cell phone up to the other ear and bouncing his head in time to some unseen cadence. I wanted to get out of my car and tell him to pay attention to his driving. I wanted to tell him his life is way too valuable to be taking such chances with it. I wanted to tell him...

Okay Ladies Listen Up... (What Women Often Think)

Evelyn Leite Blog
Women often think that it is men who are keeping them from accomplishing their goals or thwarting their efforts. Men are not the enemy; fear is the enemy or indifference.

Praise for Evelyn's Work

I always learn something when I attend Evelyn’s workshops. Today it was how to say no and mean it. The sculptures of how to communicate were so helpful and I’m sorry it had to end so soon.
