Derek Evans Counseling
You keep holding it together. Something in you knows that is not the same as healing.
Fear and shame don't get the final word. Real work with someone who actually gets you, so you can take your life back.
What a consult actually looks like

Looking fine is costing you
What it looks like
You look fine. Work gets done. There is a managed version of you at the office and another at home — a double life the people closest to you may never see.
What it feels like
When it counts, fear and shame still choose for you. You know what you would rather do. You do the old thing anyway.
What it costs
Your sleep, your marriage, your peace, and the energy it takes to keep two versions of yourself running. You don't want a nicer-looking split. You want one version of you.
I will sit with the real version
I know what it costs to keep looking fine while the inside story is different. You do not have to have the right words when you reach out.
This is Derek Evans Counseling at Alliance Counseling. I work with adults: individual counseling, couples, and intensives. Offices in Franklin and Mt. Juliet, plus telehealth across Tennessee.

People who look like they have it together.

I see adults for individual counseling, couples counseling, and intensives. If porn or compulsive sexual behavior is the struggle, start on the Breaking Free: Porn & Sex Addiction Counseling page. If you need a more discreet room as an artist, athlete, or public figure, start on The Green Room. When you're ready, contact me.
For men, Rebuild is a weekly online group for recovery from sex addiction, porn, and compulsive sexual behavior. Start on the Rebuild page.
How it works
- Contact me for a consult.
- I talk through fit, confidentiality, and what kind of work you need.
- We set up an appointment time and the first session.
A consult is a short conversation to see if we're a fit. You share what's going on. I share how I work. If it's not a match, I'll say so.
What the room looks like
Confidential counseling. Not a pep talk.
If nothing changes
Looking fine keeps costing you. The double life stays. Nothing moves.
If something changes
You stop performing fine. You start doing the real work — with someone who actually gets you.
What taking life back can look like
- Healing that actually sticks
- Trust is rebuilt
- Hope is restored
- Relationships are stronger
Sessions are one-on-one or with a partner, in Franklin, Mt. Juliet, or by telehealth across Tennessee. A consult is where we decide together what kind of work fits, and where we talk through fees. Counseling is not emergency care. If you are in crisis, call 911 or 988.
Is this confidential?
Yes, within Tennessee law and professional ethics.
Do I have to know what to say?
No. “I’d like a consult” is enough to start.
Online or in person?
Either. Offices in Franklin and Mt. Juliet, or telehealth anywhere in Tennessee.
