Tim Evans has changed my life through our sessions. He is insightful understanding and dedicated to his process. It is amazing how my hope satisfaction and life have changed since we started working together. My negative self talk has decreased and I credit Tim for this. So thankful for his therapy.

I was recommended to Dr. Evans concerning my upcoming child custody case. I am so glad I did, he was courtesy and guided me thru the stressful time. He understands and made a very hard time during my life easier to deal with his expertise. I highly recommend him to anyone needing help thru a difficult time.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS THERAPIST! One of most condescending, arrogant, demeaning, narcissistic people I've ever met. Seems to have a power trip going and frequently likes to talk about his multi-million dollar NFL clients while belittling people with "small" problems in the real world. Flippantly throws around accusations of delusional behavior when challenged. This can be extremely dangerous for people who might be teetering on the edge. Left in tears and he didn't even care, just made sure I paid my co-pay before I left the office. Not only did he not help me, he set me back months of progress. If you'd like to be emotionally run over with a Mack Truck, this is the guy for you.

Words cannot describe how life changing it has been to work with Dr. Evans. Our marriage and family life have benefitted greatly due to his guidance and encouragement. I can honestly say that it's not easy task to change but Dr. Evans is highly skilled to breakdown those barriers. My family and I are very thankful for having the opportunity to work with him! He is truly our life coach!

I like Dr. Evans. While my relationship failed, does not always mean Dr. Evans failed. Dr. Evans is there to only provide guidance but if one out of the two party is not willing to participate for the win of the relationship, it's on us. Don't blame the counselor because you want him to say what you want to hear. No relationship gets better through the counselor alone. Dr. Evans is definitely blunt, he doesn't sugar coat, he is honest. We're not there to hear nice things, we're there to hear the truth. It can be brutal at first with Dr. Evans but it gets better only if you apply his guidance. Eventhough my relationship ended, Dr. Evans continued to show me there is still a bright future out there. He particularly showed that he cared about my well being after my ex called the whole thing off. Dr. Evans counseled me and making sure my mental state was sound. I was no doubt devastated after the break up but Dr. Evans was there to build me back up. He did not hold my hands. It's not his way, it's not a bad way either. Through that I learned to deal with tougher times ahead, live in the present and look for positive side of things always. Everything can be taken from us except our choice to want to feel positive.



Another thing, this counselor thinks about his patients even in his off hours. How he had handled them. He had came back to me on one session, told me while he was mowing the lawn, thought about my circumstances/family history and identified why I feel the way I feel which he couldn't see in the previous session. That says a lot about a counselor. He is dedicated, not afraid to admit fault. Even though my relationship didn't succeed, I learned to be a happier person through Dr. Evans.



Like other folks mention, his method is not typical. But you have to have an open mind, open to changes, not afraid to ask him how and what he means...then he's the right guy for you. I think he is the best counselor I have seen. I have moved to another state and just couldn't find anyone as effective as him.

Complete nightmare. He was rude from the start. Told my 14 year old child she was an adult and did not have to listen to us (her parents) Then proceeded to put her school down as not a good rated school because it was full of rich snooty kids. He even shorted me 10.00 on my copay which I did not catch until we had left. I also did not like the way he was looking at my child. Should have known he was not reputable when he was putting down another patient in front of us. This was our first and LAST visit to him. We reported him to our insurance carrier. WANNING STAY AWAY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS MAN. Then other doctor in his office looked as if she had been beaten.... BAD BAD PRACTICE!!!!!!

Horrible experience Very unprofessional

I think Dr. Evans set our marriage counseling back by several months. We went to him in good faith and it costs us thousands of dollars in several months before we realized we were taken advantage of. We continued seeing him because he told us in the beginning that he was going to teach us skills to better our marriage. But after several months and a few thousand dollars short, he told us that we were helpless and not ever going to improve your life so why even try.

He is very aggressively bias, condescending, insulting and beats you down with criticism and harsh words. He did not listen and cut us off often. He is very combative and baited us into fights with him. He eventually offered no solutions except confusing unclear comments. He lacks the ability to educate you on how to correct your situation. He makes you feel awful about yourself, offers no concrete solutions or examples in helping you obtain better skills. He frequently demeans you and insults you in front of your spouse and says he is confident that you will never be happy together. He advocates divorce often instead of helping you. It is unfortunate to have to leave a negative feedback but I it is better to inform those who cann’t afford thousands dollars and wasteful time.

Remember That No One Ever Kicks a Dead Dog



When you are kicked and criticized, remember that it is often done because it gives the kicker a feeling of importance. It can often mean that you are accomplishing something and are worthy of attention. Many people get a sense of savage satisfaction out of denouncing another person.



Unjust criticism is often disguised as a compliment. The more you try to pacify and to smooth over injured feelings in order to escape criticism, the more certain you are to increase your enemies. Some people are not looking to improve the quality of their lives, but to be right, control, and find gratification in tearing others down.

Felt as if Dr Evans was able to cut through alot of layers and give me direct and helpful feedback. If you want to cut to the chase and make some positive changes in your relationships and life, he is the person to see. If you want someone to hold your hand, passively listen through many sessions and dollars, then he is not for you

Tim Evans needs to retire. He'...

Tim Evans needs to retire. He's a biased, bitter, condescending old man. He's "invested" in being right. He was quick to point out what is wrong but lacks the ability to educate you on how to correct anything. I sat on his sofa begging him to teach me how to change. His response was that I wont change, its too hard.

I sent a simple email stating that I would like to cancel my next appointment and that I dont feel like this is the right therapy for me. Plain and simple. His responding email to me was unprofessional and inappropriate read his response below: (I never asked for drugs, nor do I want them)



LK,





Yes, I would agree. It would require you to be open to change and highly motivated. You seem invested in your symptoms and complaining versus taking action.





I would be glad to refer you to someone who will listen, agree, and allow you to talk about your symptoms. Maybe even put you on some type of medication.





We do not do that kind of therapy in our office.





Best Wishes





Tim

Not worth it

When selecting a therapist there are many choices, you can only HOPE to find a good one. I don't ever write reviews but I think it should be know that my experience with Carter and Evans wasn't a good one. The experience was awkward right from the beginning since Gerri's boobs were practically hanging out of her shirt. I was there because I needed direction from a therapist, instead she talked to whole hour about herself... it was hard to even get a word in. There was a sense of cockiness that she was the best therapist in the world. Towards the end of our session the other therapist (her husband) knocked on the door and said he needed her assistance with another couple in his office. She actually cut our session short to go help the other therapist! It was an awful ending to an awful experience. Sorry to say this, but I don't think you could possibly gain anything by going to Carter and Evans.
