Emily Echeverria (She/Her)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
In childhood, we develop a number of coping mechanisms to adapt to the world we have been born into: people-pleasing, perfectionism, addiction, achievement, avoidance of conflict or uncomfortable feelings, codependency, etc. Usually, we seek therapy when these coping mechanisms that worked so well in our younger years are now actively harming us or our relationships, or are no longer successful in helping us deny our sadness, fear, anger, or loneliness.
My practice goes beyond symptom management and deep into the depths of the unconscious to help clients understand how unprocessed trauma and long forgotten stories are effecting their daily thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We will use imagery, dreams, and story-telling to help you rediscover that which has been lost - hope, intuition, self-trust, confidence, safety, love. Our goal, if you allow me to travel alongside you, will not be for you to become a better version of yourself or just feel better, but instead to know yourself on a deeper level and love all the different parts of you so that you can move forward in life more authentically, whole-heartedly, and peacefully!

Treatment Approach
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Gestalt Therapy Encourages awareness of thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment. It helps people integrate different parts of themselves for wholeness.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.
- Jungian Therapy Draws on Carl Jung’s ideas about archetypes, dreams, and the collective unconscious. It helps people explore deeper layers of meaning.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
Approach Description: I utilize techniques from a variety of therapeutic treatment modalities to create an individualized treatment approach for each client since no two clients are the same. My lens is trauma-informed and attachment-based. We will look into past experiences and relationships to help us discover the thoughts and beliefs that contribute to current symptoms or patterns, and develop new ways of coping and being to improve your quality of life.
