Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward? Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, or the challenges of parenting or adolescence, you're not alone—and healing is possible. My name is Cecilie Garcia, and I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist offering therapy to individuals (children, teens, and adults), as well as couples, under the supervision of Alison Hunter, LMFT. I work from a trauma-informed, relational lens—meaning I focus not only on your symptoms but on the deeper patterns, relationships, and life experiences that shape your emotional world.
My background includes working with children in school-based settings and supporting families through times of stress and transition. I bring warmth, groundedness, and curiosity to the therapy space, helping clients develop more connected and empowered relationships—with themselves and with others.
In addition to traditional talk therapy, I offer Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy for clients looking for experiential, nature-based healing. I also provide telehealth sessions for clients who prefer the comfort and flexibility of working from home. Whether you're new to therapy or returning to the work, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.

I also offer Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, combining talk therapy with the gentle, intuitive presence of horses. Experiential Therapy allows to engage in meaningful, hands-on experiences that foster emotional awareness, connection, and growth. This modality is especially supportive for those who feel disconnected in traditional therapy, have experienced trauma and looking for a new approach.
