Jamie Blair Echevarria

I work with clients and families from a strengths-based and solution-focused perspective. I will work with you and your family to identify and establish goals for our work together and a plan for attaining those goals. I prefer to focus on the present problem/experience and utilize as many of the families natural resources as possible. I like to work collaboratively with my clients, as I respect that you are the expert on ourself and your family. I also will collaborate with any other professionals that you may be working with. I am warm, empathic, and like to make therapy as positive and fun as possible. My theoretical influences include Structural, Strategic, Solution-Focused, and Feminist family therapy models.
