Tristan Stewart, LPC, NCC

 Hi, I’m Tristan! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and  Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), proudly raised in the heart of  Tiger Stadium. I’m fueled by curiosity, compassion, and a steady stream of Diet Coke. Outside of session, you can find me soaking up all the serotonin from my very squishy English Bulldog, Poppy, or browsing for hidden gems and the occasional questionable knick-knack under the TJ Maxx/HomeGoods umbrella. 

Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to have it all figured  out. Whether you're working through something heavy or just trying to  make sense of things, we’ll take it one step at a time, together. I  believe in meeting you exactly where you are, without judgment or  pressure. If you’re here, you’ve already taken a brave and meaningful  first step, and I think that deserves some serious credit. 

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that meaningful  change comes from building on your existing strengths. I integrate  evidence-based strategies with a practical, realistic, and down-to-earth  style to help you navigate challenges and feel more empowered in your  daily life. You don’t need to have all the answers to get started! We’ll  work together to explore and identify unhelpful patterns, redefine what  truly matters, and set goals that fit your life. This might mean developing coping strategies for anxiety, working through difficult  emotions, or simply learning to feel more comfortable in your own skin. I’m especially passionate about helping clients quiet the noise of  perfectionism, comparison, and societal pressures (looking at you,  social media!), so they can reconnect with their most authentic selves.  When it’s important to you, I also incorporate faith-based  perspectives into our work, respecting your beliefs and values to  support your healing and growth.

I work with adolescents (ages 14 and up), and adults. 

I  have experience and additional training in the following areas: 

•  Men’s Issues (emotional expression, relationship dynamics, internalized  pressure to “man up,” navigating vulnerability, and building self-worth) 
•  Personal Growth and Living More Authentically 
• Anxiety and Overthinking
• Depression and Low Motivation
