About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) in Utah and my practice is grounded in the synthesis of social, biological, and psychological theories. I provide individual, group, and family therapy integrating psychodynamic and humanistic approaches with transformative healing methods and spirituality. My goal in therapy is to move my patients beyond symptom reduction to the achievement of balance in the physical, emotional and, spiritual dimensions. My style of helping is reflective of eastern healing traditions and western neuroscience. While most approaches to mental health treatments are focused on changing distressing events and experiences, my emphasis is on accepting, finding meaning, and tolerating distress. A trauma survivor myself, I came to view pain and distress as part of the human experience that cannot be entirely avoided or removed. The inability to accept this immutable fact itself leads to increased pain and suffering. A Zen practitioner and a mindfulness proponent, I have graduate and postgraduate education in social work and counseling. I am also trained in psychotropic medication and can work with your prescriber. Through the many years of clinical work and advocacy, I've learned to embody a warrior-like woundedness and the courage to sit down and listen. Come in.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Manuel Evangelista. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
He listens to what we say and how we feel. Gives good pointers on how to be better with in ourself and our partner.
He's been so kind and understanding, he brings a lot of peace when he speaks. I've tried therapy before and it hasn't gone as well as it has now. I'm grateful for his kindness and patience and willing to listen and to help us get over our trauma and issues so that we can become better as individuals and become better for our children.
My wife and I are very please with Manuel and are even looking forward to future therapy sessions with him. Thank you Manuel.
Manuel has been amazing to work with! My wife and I did some pre marital counseling with him (post marital technically since we started it right after getting married). He has provided us with some great skills and techniques to apply in our marriage during arguments and just in every day life. Would recommend him to anyone looking for relationship guidance and counseling!
Manuel is amazingly personable and calls you out like your best friend would. He's been amazing to work with. We love him.
He has a great style,informal but informative and thoughtful,engaging. Knows his stuff.
Very respectful and gives us hope.we are grateful for him.
