Meet Your Therapist & Founder of ETW
Hello, I’m Philecia Ward, LMSW, JSOCC, and I am the founder of Evolve Therapy & Wellness, LLC. I am passionate about creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals and families can heal, grow, and thrive.
I am a Licensed Master Social Worker, currently practicing under the supervision of Ashley Pleasant, LICSW-S in Alabama. My professional experience spans work with both adolescents and adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, as well as providing specialized care for youth with reactive sexual behaviors. I am also certified in conducting Psychosexual Evaluations, as well as pursing my Doctor of Social Work (DSW) degree.
Beyond credentials, my approach is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and respect. I believe every client has the strength within them to grow, and my role is to walk alongside you in that process. My practice is grounded in the NASW Code of Ethics, ensuring professional and client-centered care in every session.
At Evolve Therapy & Wellness, you are not alone. This is a space where your story matters and your growth is celebrated.
Our Services
At Evolve Therapy & Wellness, LLC, we provide therapy and evaluation services designed to help clients heal, grow, and create lasting change. Each service is approached with compassion, structure, and clinical integrity.
Individual Therapy
A supportive space for emotional healing and personal growth.
Sessions focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. Together, we’ll identify patterns, build coping strategies, and strengthen emotional resilience in a way that feels safe and empowering.
Family Therapy
Guidance for families working through conflict, disconnection, or life adjustments.
Family therapy focuses on improving communication, understanding each member’s perspective, and rebuilding connection and trust within the home.
Psychosexual Evaluations
Comprehensive and ethical assessments for adolescent males (ages 12–18) exhibiting reactive or sexualized behaviors.
Each evaluation includes structured clinical interviews and evidence-based tools such as the Juvenile Sex Offender Assessment Protocol–II (JSOAP-II) to determine treatment needs and level of risk.
Our process emphasizes understanding and rehabilitation — not punishment. Reports are handled with confidentiality, professionalism, and a focus on guiding appropriate treatment and support recommendations.
To request a psychosexual evaluation, contact admin@evolvetherapywell.com or call (251) 335-3605.

What are Psychosexual Assessments?
At Evolve Therapy & Wellness, I provide comprehensive psychosexual assessments for males ages 12–18 who exhibit reactive sexual behaviors. As the evaluator, I conduct a detailed, evidence-based evaluation that explores each youth’s sexual development, behavioral patterns, trauma history, and psychosocial functioning. This process helps determine risk, guide individualized treatment planning, and support accountability and growth. Each evaluation may include the use of structured risk tools such as the Juvenile Sex Offender Assessment Protocol-II (JSOAP-II) to assess risk factors and identify areas for intervention.
All assessments are completed by Philecia Ward, LMSW, JSOCC-Certified, under the clinical supervision of Ashley Pleasant, LICSW-S, in accordance with Alabama social work practice standards.
