About Manuel
Dr. Manuel Evangelista is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and related concerns. He brings 21 years of experience to sessions and aims to guide adults toward greater balance in their emotional and daily lives. He frames therapy around acceptance and meaning rather than only reducing symptoms.
He uses ideas from both eastern healing traditions and western neuroscience to shape his work. That can mean practicing mindfulness, noticing how thoughts and feelings show up in the body, and learning ways to tolerate hard moments. He also draws on narrative and client-centered approaches to help people tell and reframe their own stories.
Dr. Evangelista offers individual, group, and family therapy and works with adults aged 19 to 69. He notes a focus on many concerns including bipolar issues, ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy questions, eating and sleeping problems, and seasonal affective disorder. He also lists multicultural concerns, gender dysphoria, obsessions and compulsions, personality issues, phobias, and compassion fatigue.
Trained in social work and counseling at graduate and postgraduate levels, he also has experience collaborating with prescribers around psychotropic medication. He describes his own experience as a trauma survivor and draws on that perspective in sessions. His aim is to help people accept difficult realities, find meaning, and build practical skills for day-to-day life.
People who want a reflective, mindfulness-oriented approach may find his style approachable. If you plan to start, check the session formats available before booking so you know what will work best for your schedule.
