About
Maria Garcia
Hello! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LFMT). I have worked in mental health for over ten years in various settings with diverse populations. I have a particular interest in approaches rooted in cognitive behavior therapy and solution focus. This experience has helped mold me into a well-rounded therapist who understands that sometimes people need help sorting things out and finding solutions, as well as developing a skill set to tackle any stressors or emotional issues hindering their life journey.
I am dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment where clients can explore challenges related to anxiety, depression, grief/loss, self-care and personal growth. My focus is on assisting clients in developing assertive communication and boundaries with themselves and others, which can enhance their overall quality of life. Counseling can support personal growth in any area you seek to improve and help you create the life you truly deserve. When you're ready, I'm here to listen. Let’s go on your healing journey together.
