In 1990 Julie Evans gained employment with Winn Parish School Board as school bus driver for Calvin High School. The position was perfect.
“I brought my kids to school and home again,” said Evans as she laughed. “I always knew they arrived safely”.
Julie retired after 23 years of service to fulfill the requirements of a higher education.
Julie graduated from Northwestern State University in 2012 with a bachelors degree in addiction studies, with a minor in psychology, and again in 2014 with a masters degree in counseling with concentrations in school counseling.
After graduation, Evans entered the school system again as student counselor with the Red River Parish School District.
“It was a blessing to begin my professional career with such a supportive administration,” shared Evans.
She later gained employment with Winn Community Health Center where she humbly serves as student counselor for the Winn Parish students. She went on to say, “I am thankful for my employer, Mr. Deano Thornton, and my position within the school-based clinic.”
In 2020 Julie enrolled into the University of Holy Cross in New Orleans in the PhD Counseling, Leadership, and Education Program. Having graduated with her PhD, Evans calls it her last degree while her family just nods and laughs.
In 2022, with a nudge from the Holy Spirit, Evans began forming a private practice offering Christian counseling services. Evans said, “There is such a need, people want more than what the secular world can offer.” She counts her practice, Ash Street Ministries LLC, as a blessing from the Lord and without Him, she states, it “just wouldn’t work.” Evans admits being called Dr. Evans will take some getting used to, as she humbly said, “Ms. Julie works just as well.”
Evans is a wife, mother, grandmother, and a child of God. ASM takes all insurances, and welcomes new patients.
