Evidence-Based Therapy for Men in Marietta, Georgia. 


At Evolve, we are psychologists who specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression and other mood disorders, trauma, and substance misuse. 


Not every struggle in life fits neatly into a diagnosis, and as a result we have also cultivated an emphasis on helping adolescent and adult males to move beyond cultural and gender based expectations and towards a self-defined, healthy masculinity. In therapy, that involves exploring the ways that being male shows up in your romantic relationships, friendships, the workplace, parenting. etc.. Our goal is to help you solidify your values and pursue the type of man, husband, partner, father, friend, son, sibling, and career/provider you want to be.  


With over 30 years of experience as licensed psychologists, Dr. Gunn and Dr. Stevens have developed specialized skills in multiple evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), and Contemporary Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.

Maybe you have never tried counseling or maybe you have and did not get what you hoped from it. We offer services that are tailored to your needs, whether it be short-term work focused on specific goals, or longer-term work that helps you look deep inside to discover what is really going on so that you can make better choices going forward.
