Windows of Opportunity Counseling Services

If you’re looking for a therapist for yourself or your relationship, I heartily recommend Evelyn Schmectig-​Cochran for her warmth, wisdom and humor. She is a truly masterful counselor and always makes me feel heard and understood. It’s clear that she is well-​trained and a true professional, while at the same time she is right there with you, listening and helping you get through those places that are so easy to get stuck when you’re in a relationship. It’s so easy to keep fighting over the same things! The good news is that she knows how to help us out of these patterns, into deeper, more intimate connections.

Where do I begin? I had no idea what to expect. Evelyn helped me open a door that was closed for many years. In times of conflict, there are patterns, emotions, and confusion all interwined. Problems can go on for months, years, decades. Evelyn’s skill is to help people recognize these patterns while taking into account the human condition. She brings out a voice in you that you didn’t know you had. Her compassion is boundless and what you take with you are priceless tools to last you a lifetime. She helped me change my life and my way of thinking, as well as relating to others. She is truly a Godsend, and I recommend her unhesitatingly. P. S. If you are East Indian OR American East Indian do NOT pass her up.

Sorry to say i just found the card from my visit over a year ago; otherwise i would have rated this sooner. My Son and i went to see Evelyn to work on some issues we were having. It was not cheap for the «session»; i would NOT have minded the money at all except… She was not in control of the session AT ALL; this was a big problem as the reason we came to see her was to be able to communicate better. Instead she allowed my Son to say things in a rather aggressive manner. In fact i started to cry and Evelyn did NOTHING. As a matter a fact, as we «finished» i was very upset and she DID nothing; she did not even ask me if i was OK to leave. I am a trained «Crisis Counselor» and my training dictates that you never let someone leave a session when they are that upset. You always at the very least check in with them to make sure they are OK. She could see i was VERY upset and yet did nothing except take my check! The other thing that really was not right is she DID NOT EVEN call to check in with me later. I did however call her after a couple of weeks to let her know i was not happy with the way our session had went and she did not EVEN bother to offer either another session at no extra cost nor did she offer a refund. I have to say i would never recommend this person to anyone. This was the most unprofessional session i have ever witnessed.
