Hi, I’m Dr. Echols, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in helping teens and couples navigate challenges with coping skills, communication, and family dynamics. In our work together, I meet you where you are and guide you toward achieving your personal goals. During our first few sessions, we’ll explore various areas of your life to better understand your needs and create a path forward. My practice is unique because your success is defined by you, and I’m here to support and empower you every step of the way. I’m deeply passionate about helping people grow and make lasting positive changes in their lives.
I meet clients where they are, helping them gain insight and discover themselves. You’ll do most of the talking while I ask thoughtful questions based on what you say (or don’t say). I love supporting you in creating goals and celebrating your wins along the way.
Healing begins with recognizing what needs attention, then creating a personalized plan. Growth happens through self-discovery, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. If you’re ready to start your journey, I’m ready to help. Reach out, and let’s take the first step together.
