Tristan Echevarria, LAC
In-person therapy in Gilbert, Arizona; virtual therapy anywhere in Arizona.
I’m optimistic and naturally curious. I like to “peel back the layers” and understand the "why" behind things. I’ve been told I’m nerdy and can be a little goofy, and I enjoy being playful and joking around when appropriate while still being able to slow things down and focus on what really matters.
I enjoy sports, especially football and baseball
Gaming, Music, and Pop Culture
Funko Pop! collecting
I like trying new places to eat, despite being a picky eater
I chose to practice after seeing how transformative therapy can be while working in a psychiatry office early in my career. Watching clients change, grow, and gain insight firsthand motivated me to do more and put myself in a position to help facilitate that kind of change.
My main modalities include:
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
I am IFS-informed
I focus on helping clients build practical, real-life skills for managing emotions, handling stress, and navigating relationships, while also taking time to understand the different parts of themselves that show up along the way.
My approach is very client-centered and personalized. I believe clients should be in the drivers seat and therapy should feel approachable and tailored to them, not one-size-fits-all.
I aim to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and encouraged to build the life they want to live.
I want clients to know that I understand how hard it can be to navigate life and the challenges that come with it. Working with me means we face those things together.
