Therapists in Florida

Hello! I am Dr. Echevarria, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of Florida. I am bilingual (English and Spanish) and have specialized training on stress management, motivation issues, and chronic pain management.

Sometimes, in life, we find ourselves repeating the same patterns over again. We tell ourselves we will not make the same mistake each time, but we find ourselves repeating the same mistakes we promised not to repeat. We may look to our partners and say they are the problem; we may see everything as a problem except ourselves. And as we do that, we stay in a state of unhappiness and remain a victim of ourselves. So we must admit first that we are the problem, and then we must explore deep within the self the root cause of the situations we have experienced that have created those unhealthy patterns so we can heal from our past and be in the moment. My job as a therapist is to guide clients through exploring their present and past selves while detaching from their future wants and desires so that they can live free in the moment. I help them move into a place of acceptance, understanding, and love for themselves, their families, neighbors, and the environment so that they can become their authentic selves. I work with couples and individuals to find unity and harmony in their relationships, environment, and within the self. I help individuals and couples move into a place of acceptance, understanding, and love to find unity and harmony in their relationships, environment, and within the self.

I am a licensed clinical social worker/licensed psychotherapist with 31 years of experience. During the course of my career I have worked to help individuals clients address issues that are standing in the way of them becoming a better version of themselves. I am licensed in the states of Florida and North Carolina. My experience as a psychotherapist has been with people of all ages, a broad range of issues and diverse cultural, ethnic, sexual orientation and spiritual backgrounds. My areas of focus are: helping the individual manage their response to stress in a healthier manner so the stress does not manage the individual, providing education and skills to cope more effectively with anxiety and/or depression, dealing with addictive behaviors, relationship issues, increasing personal empowerment over the consequences of trauma and abuse, developing an understanding of the impact of early life experiences on personal development and impact in present day situations, and improving self esteem/self confidence and self worth. The principles that guide my work as a psychotherapist are as follow: 1) Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, dignity and compassion. 2) Seeking therapy is one of he most courageous, empowering, and healing choices one can make. 3) Helping the individual to understand, heal, and overcome negative life experiences from the past, 4) It is the therapist's responsibility to earn the individual's trust during the course of the therapeutic relationship. 5) Mutual respect and collaboration between the therapist and the individual seeking therapy make it possible for positive change to happen. 6) When it comes to the therapy approach, "One size does not fit all." There is no one specific approach that is effective for everyone. Therapy is tailored to meet each person's unique style to enhance the likelihood of positive results. Congratulations on taking this very brave and important first step on the road to a better you!

I am dually licensed in Colorado and Florida with 28 years of experience as a LCSW. I have worked with clients to address stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, life transitions, and depression. I am a Trauma-Sensitive Heartmath® Certified Practitioner and have been trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) which I have used with clients who’ve experienced a wide range of traumas. I believe that an underlying root of many problems humans face is a dysregulated nervous system that causes the mind, body, and emotions to become overwhelmed. In response, we either shut down or experience too much angst and can no longer confidently hear and follow our own voice. Along with working to understand your challenges from your unique point of view, I will support you in learning how to regulate your nervous system so that you can have better access to constructive thoughts and emotions, restore your body to a state of health and well-being, and make decisions in your life from a place of self-confidence and empowerment. There is nothing off limits in our discussion as all aspects of self are welcome. You are brave and courageous for reaching out for support, and I am honored to be part of your healing journey. Let me share in the privilege of walking beside you to reflect more deeply and authentically, understand yourself and your gifts and challenges more clearly, find solutions that come from within you (which means they will work best), and feel restored and reconnected.

I am licensed in Florida with 12 years of postgraduate clinical experience. I have worked with varied populations helping clients with presenting problems including self-esteem, family issues, stress, anxiety, addiction, relationships, trauma, depression, other chronic mental health diagnoses, career issues and more. I started my career before I’d graduated college, working at a crisis hotline. I went on to work with individuals struggling with severe and persistent mental illnesses in community mental health both before and after graduate school. Once licensed in 2015, I was able to expand the reach of my practice, working with more children, families, couples and individuals, who either had a mental health diagnosis, or a specific situational concern. I took some time away from practicing after that to be a stay at home mom and focus on my own healing and learning. I've learned so much since becoming a mom, that I now feel that’s my best qualification- the journey of healing and growth that I’ve personally taken. It has made me a better therapist, and fostered in me a new motivation to help others reconnect with their inner resources and purpose. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be processed with a sense of safety and acceptance. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.
