Evan KARDON
Mental Health & Wellness Consultant
“I am an opera singer-turned psychotherapist with a focus on relationships. My practice, Empowered Voice Therapy was born out of personal experiences. I spent much of my life in the performing arts as a vocalist, and what started out as a career fueled by passion and joy, turned into a life full of instability and insecurity. The irony of my situation was, that though I had a voice that was being heard by many, it wasn’t an empowered one. My disempowerment bled into both my platonic and romantic relationships; I rarely voiced what I wanted or needed, sacrificed my pleasure for the sake of others, and allowed my insecurities to dictate how I saw myself and the treatment that I believed that I deserved.
My attunement to others and communication skills were useful in a career that focuses on collaboration; if you are not attuned, you are not in tune. I bring these skills into my work with relationships, as I believe that attunement and transparent communication foster connection and improve overall relationship satisfaction. Through experiences in my own therapy, I recognized that I was muting myself and suppressing my emotions in many aspects of my life. I ultimately decided that a career in the arts wasn’t serving me or my needs anymore and that I wanted to focus on helping others heal on their paths to self-discovery. I now help others find their unmute button and create a safe space for them to use their voices in whatever way makes them feel empowered.
I am member of AASECT and AAMFT. I received my training from Jefferson University’s Couple and Family Therapy Program, with a specialization in Sex Therapy, and a Clinical Internship with Council for Relationships. I am trained in levels I and II of the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy and maintain a profound commitment to ongoing education. Understanding that the therapeutic landscape evolves alongside societal shifts, I prioritize continuous learning to ensure I remain adept at addressing the diverse and evolving needs of my clients.”
