Registered Psychotherapist, MA

Overwhelmed? Alone? Stuck ? Are you experiencing a transition in your life that seems unbearable? Are you feeling angst and anxiety that has overtaken your daily schedule? My approach is client centered, warm and non judgmental. I feel it is important to create a safe space for all individuals. I think addressing the whole individual (mind, body, and soul) is imperative to healing. For those who prefer, I am willing to discuss existential questions like “Who am I?, What is my life’s purpose?, What is my mission in life?” While sitting with me we can explore your connection with a Higher Power(God, Mother Earth, The Universe etc.)

Currently accepting virtual clients! Sometimes life can be tough and challenging, making us feel stuck and unable to manage. If you notice that you feel overwhelmed, irritable or are struggling to get through the days; please know you do not need to manage on your own. If you have lost passion for life or feel disconnected from friends or family it can be helpful to have someone unbiased to talk to in order to learn helpful ways of managing.

My approach is a distinctively centred around you, drawing from modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mind and body and somatic experiencing & neuroscience based modalities. I am deeply committed to supporting you in identifying your needs, strengths and goals in order to cope, manage and most importantly to thrive.

Christien Garcia
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Verified
I seek to create therapeutic spaces that are both supportive and exploratory. Drawing on my training as a therapist and literary scholar, I believe in the value of thinking carefully, deeply, and creatively about the stories we tell (and sometimes don’t tell) about ourselves. By learning to tell their stories, and perhaps learning to tell their stories differently, my clients are able to find balance, take risks, and centre healing in their lives.
