Direct. Thoughtful.
Focused on change.
I’m Andrew Beltran, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and patterns in relationships that feel hard to break.
Most of the people I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and used to holding a lot together. On the outside, things can look fine. Internally, it’s a different story—overthinking, second-guessing, feeling stuck in the same loops.
That’s usually where we start.
Clinical Experience
My background spans multiple levels of care, which means I’ve worked with people across a wide range of experiences, from high-functioning anxiety to more severe and persistent mental health challenges.
My experience ranges from:
Community Mental Health (including field-based and outpatient)
Inpatient Behavioral Health
Long-Term Care and Placement Settings
Residential Care Facilities
Institutions for Mental Disease (IMDs)
State Hospitals
Juvenile Hall and Juvenile Justice
Conservatorship
That range shaped how I work. I don’t get easily thrown off by intensity, complexity, or things that feel “too much.” It also means I’m paying attention to both the emotional experience and the bigger picture, including patterns, systems, and what’s realistically sustainable for you.
In addition to psychotherapy, I provide forensic mental health evaluations, which brings in another layer of structure and objectivity. That balance tends to show up in therapy too— real, human conversations, but with clarity and direction.
How I Work
I tend to be direct, but not harsh. Curious, but not invasive.
I’ll ask questions that might make you pause for a second. Not to catch you off guard, but to help you see something from a different angle. Sometimes that leads to insight, sometimes it’s more like, “okay… yeah, that’s actually accurate.”
Either way, we use it.
I’m also paying attention to patterns in real time—how you talk about things, where you get stuck, what you avoid, and how different “parts” of you show up. That’s usually where the meaningful shifts happen.
Approach
My work integrates:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for thought patterns
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for flexibility and values-based decisions
Parts-based work for internal conflict
Attachment-focused work for relationship patterns
What does that mean? Well look at both what’s happening and why it keeps happening, then figure out how to shift it in a way that actually sticks.
A Bit More About Me…
I’m a gay Hispanic man, and that identity matters in how I understand the people I work with, especially around belonging, identity, and navigating spaces where you don’t always feel fully seen.
Outside of my work, I value balance in a pretty intentional way. I spend a lot of time working out. It’s one of the main ways I clear my head and stay grounded. I also love traveling and getting out of my usual environment when I can. It helps me reset and shift perspective in a way that nothing else really does.
I’m someone who needs “me” time to recharge, whether that’s doing nothing, listening to music, or just having space to not be “on.” Music is a big part of that. I listen to a little bit of everything depending on the mood.
And then there are my two babies (on the left), who take up a lot of my time and attention in the best way. They keep things simple and real.
Spending time with the people I care about is also a big part of my life. They remind me to slow down, take a breath, and be present.
