Our Story
The Beginning of Evermore
Our StoryEvermore Therapy & Wellness Group started with a simple conversation.
In late 2022, Megan reached out to Emma with an idea: what if they started a private practice together — one that felt welcoming, human, and accessible to the people who needed it most?
The idea didn’t come out of nowhere. Megan and Emma had first met while working together at Recovery Centers of America. Although they only worked side by side for a few months, Megan quickly recognized Emma’s compassion, dedication, and work ethic. Even after their paths diverged, they stayed in touch while continuing to grow as clinicians and complete their licensure hours as Licensed Social Workers.
During that time, Megan went on to work within the male prison system in Plainfield, while Emma stepped into a leadership role supervising therapists at Recovery Centers of America. Megan always felt Emma was someone she hoped to build something meaningful with one day.
When Megan shared her vision for a private practice, Emma was preparing for her LCSW exam and expecting her first child. After Emma passed her exam and welcomed her baby, the timing finally aligned. Megan had already taken the leap to begin building Evermore, and Emma joined soon after, gradually phasing out of her supervisor role.
Like many people starting something new, they stepped into private practice without having everything figured out. But they were deeply committed to building something different. From the beginning, they knew they wanted Evermore to remain accessible and affordable. That meant becoming credentialed with major commercial insurance providers and continuing to accept Medicaid so they could serve many of the same communities they had worked with throughout their careers.
Their goal was to create a practice where clients could receive thoughtful, compassionate care regardless of insurance status, and where clinicians could have more flexibility to shape their schedules and caseloads in ways that support both their professional passions and their lives outside of work.
By late 2023, Megan and Emma had both reached full caseloads, and the practice began growing quickly. What started as a small vision has expanded rapidly in just a few short years.
Today, Evermore Therapy & Wellness Group includes 17 clinicians, an intern, an administrative coordinator, and multiple office locations. A psychiatric nurse practitioner will also be joining the team soon to expand services into medication management.
Even as Evermore continues to grow, the goal remains the same: to keep a family-like feel while providing ethical, accessible, and compassionate care to the communities we serve.
At Evermore, we believe therapy works best when it feels human.
What This Means for Our Clients
The way Evermore was built still shapes how we practice today. We believe therapy should feel welcoming, supportive, and accessible — not intimidating or out of reach. Our goal is to create spaces where people can show up as they are, work with clinicians who genuinely care, and receive thoughtful, ethical care regardless of their background or insurance.
