Addiction is a disease. It causes pain to everyone in a family or a workforce. Understanding how it works and grows is a vital to stopping it before it destroys everything and everyone. There are only three things that can happens to addicts - recovery, insanity, or death.


- Communication and Conflict Resolution

A one to three day presentation of the effects of poor communication, effective communication skills and the fine art of conflict resolution. This workshop can include a one day overview, or a two or three day in depth training on establishing better relationships through communication.


- Professional Development Training

In order to get along at home or in the workforce, one must be able to communicate, empathize, and make wise choices. This is a one day workshop that provides information and options for employees, families or church members.

Welcome!

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.

Feelings and Suicidal Behavior

Evelyn Leite Blog
Feelings are not Right and Wrong. Feelings just are. People in pain are often ashamed of their feelings and will attempt to deny or hide them. Assure them you can handle their feelings and whatever the feelings are they are ok. Tell them feelings just are and everyone has them. It is important to be open to expressions of pain and remain calm no matter what is said. Do not react or show shock to e...

Please Keep Your Mind Where Your Butt Is!

Evelyn Leite Blog
He was sitting at a stop sign. He looked to be about 16 or 17 years old. 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. Hillary’s run for president has brought the man/woman controversy to the forefront again, mostly with insinuation and innuendo of course. If Hillary doesn’t win it won’t be because the men kept her down, it will be because the wo...

Praise for Evelyn's Work

In the Suicide Hotline training, I liked having people’s voices heard; good discussions make it easier to understand and the youth involvement was great. The workshop needs to be longer so that everything is not crammed into two days. I feel like if we knew more about codependency we could make our family stronger and be more able to help others.
